River Cruise, Escorted Tour & Europe Advisor

For over 30 years I have been in the travel industry as both a Travel Advisor and working at Funjet Vactaions. I have been fortunate to travel over the years with my family throughout Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean. I enjoy sharing what I've learned over the years to help other families plan the perfect family vacation.

My Travel Specialties

River Cruise Specialist

The best way to see Europe is on a river cruise. The best part of a river cruise is that you wake up every day in a new city but, you only have to unpack once. Also, most river cruise lines include a shore excursion in every port which is a great way to get acquainted with the city.

Aboard Avalon Waterways

Escorted Tour Specialist

For first-time travelers to Europe, I believe the best way to travel is on an Escorted Tour. All of the details are planned out and packaged together for you. Including ground transportation, accommodations, sight seeing, some meals and more. The private guides are a wealth of information and make...

Germany Specialist

Germany holds a special place in my heart. It's hard to pick a favorite, every city I went to I thought, "this is my favorite". I love them all.  But if I had to pick one, it would be Heidelberg. It's beautiful town on the Neckar River, I love visiting the Old Town and Heidelberg Castle, sitting in...

Italy Specialist

Italy is an amazing country. I've been fortunate to see a lot of places both on the coast and inland. I loved touring the Vatican and the Colosseum with all of it's history but my favorite was the Island of Capri for it's beauty and laid back atmosphere, tons of shopping outside cafés and live music...

No-stress travel thanks to Stacy!
We have gone on two great trips that Stacy organized for us - both overseas and both quite complicated (Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, etc.). She does an AMAZING job! I truly appreciate the fact that she worked so closely with me to make sure that the vacations were exactly what we wanted and suited our particular preferences. Her attention to detail is unsurpassed. Traveling abroad can cause some anxiety at times, but she truly changed that. I would recommend her highly for any travel needs, and when we're ready for our next trip she will be the first to know!

Italian Vacation with Kids
Stacy was great to work with. She made it very easy - we did everything over email. The parts of our trip that she booked were perfect - hotels, trains, rental car. The one improvement I could say would be for her to be able to book additional things: tours, restaurants, wine tastings, etc.

A very special, unforgettable mom/daughter trip!
Stacy was very helpful, informative and patient with me-as we had some passport issues-took awhile before we could book our trip. She worked with me to find a great place, with all that I wanted it to be-within our budget. She told me everything I needed to know about travel, arrival and departure. I do not travel often-that was very appreciated!
