Ireland, Italy, Germany, and Scandinavia!

Travel has been a part of my life since the trip I took in high school to Germany that changed the course of who I am. I realized on that trip that the world was big and needed to be explored. I became a German teacher. During my career I took over 1,000 students and parents many destinations. I hav...

I just launched my second tour for 2026! You can join me as we travel through Scandinavia with an optional extension to Iceland. Want to see more? We can adjust your flights to match whatever you'd like and I can help you with the details!

Join me online next Tuesday at 6:30 to learn about travel to Europe. I have several great groups set up for the next couple of years and I can answer any questions. Link to the meeting is in the comments.

Not interested in those destinations? I can also talk about other options to see Europe! I have been leading groups since 1984 and have been all over Europe and the UK (41 different times/trips so far) but I always love it as much as I did that first time I went in HS.

12/07/2024

Ok, it's down to two choices. Thank you for your messages and likes. Here they are:
The first one is a beautiful drive that takes you through some coastal towns in France.
The second one is a visit to three countries that are different in language and geography.

I am going to host a zoom next Tuesday night to talk about these two tours and also the other options you have to get to Europe with an experienced group coordinator (me) and some fabulous local tour directors and guides. I have truly never been disappointed on any of the tours I've done with them.

Shelley Orr is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

So I'm thinking about tours for 2026 and wondering if there would be interest in any of these destinations. If not these, then where would people like to go? I will travel with you as your host/co leader and make sure you are all prepared for your trip!

Group travel is so much fun-you meet new, like minded people and have the convenience of having a tour director, easy transportation and tickets to included activities, and lots of free time to explore on your own! I've been doing group tours for a long time now and still love doing them.

Please share and comment if any of these look good. I already have Italy in April and am looking at another one for fall 2026.
They all are around 10-12 days and have moderate walking (except the French Riviera one which has more walking).

I know I've been pretty quite on social media lately, but that is because I have been traveling and also booking so many trips for people! Hours fly by when you are having fun I guess.
So there is still room on a couple of my escorted tours I offer. I have three spots on the Christmas Markets tour in December 2024, 6 spots on my Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in April 2025, and 18 on the Ireland trip for August 2025

It is such a fun way to travel and you make so many new friends. Group travel is not what you maybe think it is-there is lots of free time and plenty of time to do what you want. We do some city tours, of course, and then offer options so that you can personalize.

I spent the evening yesterday at an event showcasing Alaska, Canada, and the Arctic. So many incredible vendors such as Viking cruises, Princess, Ponant, Globus, and Rocky Mountaineer luxury trains.
Can you imagine traveling through Canada on one of these trains? They are slow moving so you can enjoy all of the scenery.
I will highlight some of these beautiful destinations and vendors in the next few days.
