Custom Europe Vacation Planning from a Travel Agent Who's Been There
Europe is one of the most rewarding destinations in the world — and one of the most overwhelming to plan. With dozens of countries, hundreds of cities, and endless options for where to stay, what to see, and how to get around, it's easy to feel paralyzed before you even begin. That's where I come in.
As a Central Ohio travel agent and passionate Europhile, I've personally traveled across Europe extensively — London, Paris, Barcelona, Brussels, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Athens, Santorini, Istanbul, and all across Italy. I know which neighborhoods to stay in, which tours are worth the money, and which "bucket list" experiences live up to the hype. That firsthand knowledge shapes every European itinerary I build.
Why Europe Is Worth the Trip
Whether it's your first time crossing the Atlantic or your fifth, Europe delivers experiences you simply can't find anywhere else. Standing inside the Colosseum in Rome, watching the sun set over Santorini's caldera, wandering the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona, climbing to the Acropolis in Athens — these are the kinds of moments that stay with you for life.
What makes Europe especially appealing is its density. In no other part of the world can you visit three or four dramatically different countries in one trip with such ease. A two-week itinerary might take you from the romantic streets of Paris to the canals of Amsterdam, the history of Rome, and the cliffside beauty of the Amalfi Coast — all without feeling rushed.

What's Included When I Plan Your Europe Trip
Planning a European trip involves a lot of moving parts — transatlantic flights, intra-Europe trains or budget flights, multiple hotel check-ins, time zone changes, language barriers, and more. I handle all of it:
International and intra-Europe flights
Hotel selection and booking (in the right neighborhoods)
Train and ground transportation
Tours, activities, and skip-the-line experiences
Restaurant recommendations and reservations
A clean, organized trip document so you always know what's next
On-call support while you're traveling
Some of the Popular European Destinations I Plan
United Kingdom — London is a world-class city with enough history, culture, food, and nightlife to fill two weeks on its own. I can also help you venture beyond London — to Edinburgh, the Scottish Highlands, York, Liverpool, and the English countryside.
France — Paris is a perennial favorite for honeymooners and first-time European visitors alike. I'll make sure you're staying in the right arrondissement, not just the cheapest hotel that came up in a search.
Italy — Rome, Florence, Venice, the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre. Italy is endlessly rewarding, but logistics can be tricky. I'll make sure your rail connections, accommodations, and day trips are all dialed in.
Greece — Athens for history, Santorini for romance, Mykonos for nightlife. Greece is one of my personal favorites — I've explored both Athens and Santorini firsthand and can give you an insider's perspective.
Spain — Barcelona's architecture and food scene, Madrid's art and energy, the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Spain is one of Europe's most underrated destinations for American travelers.
Germany & Beyond — Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Brussels — I've been there too. Whether you want a single-country focus or a sweeping multi-country adventure, I'll put together an itinerary that makes the most of your time.
