Luxury Europe & Cruise Travel Advisor

Segovia, Spain near Madrid is SPECTACULAR!
Segovia, Spain near Madrid is SPECTACULAR!

As someone who has explored the world with my own multigenerational family, I know firsthand how meaningful—and how complex—travel can be. I specialize in creating luxury and upper-premium vacations outside the U.S., with a strong focus on Europe, while also growing my expertise in unforgettable journeys to Africa, Antarctica, the Galápagos, and Asia.


Whether you’re dreaming of a personalized land itinerary with private guides and seamless transportation, or you're trying to navigate the overwhelming world of river and small-ship cruises, I’m here to simplify the process and elevate every step of your journey. My background as a Certified Public Accountant honed my eye for detail and organization—skills I now use to craft seamless, custom travel experiences for clients who want something more than ordinary.


From romantic getaways and family reunions to milestone celebrations and complex multistop adventures, I offer expert support to make your trip stress-free and perfectly tailored. I can help you compare the differences between cruise lines and destinations, curate the right mix of relaxation and exploration, and ensure that every element of your trip—from hotels to transfers to special excursions—runs smoothly.


I’ve personally experienced many of the luxury cruise lines and river cruises I recommend. That hands-on knowledge helped earn me the honor of being named ASTA’s River Cruise Advisor of the Year, and it ensures that I match each client with the perfect ship, itinerary, and level of service.


Some recent itineraries I’ve designed include:


*A multi-week European journey for a large family staying in luxury hotels across five cities, with curated excursions and effortless transfers throughout.


*A couple’s first international trip to Italy, featuring VIP hotel stays, private tours, and door-to-door support from their first planning call to their return home.


*A group of friends river cruise vacation complete with European stays before and after the cruise, land transportation,  and touring recommendations.


* A luxury multi-generarational vacation to South Africa, Botswana and Victoria falls, complete with game drives, helicopter rides, historical tours and wine tasting in the South African winelands.


 


Some of my favorite destinations to book include:Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Southern and Eastern Africa (including safaris, river cruises, and gorilla trekking)Antarctica, the Galápagos, Japan, Thailand, and beyond.


Wherever you want to go, I’m here to make your next vacation not just a trip, but a truly unforgettable experience—thoughtfully planned, beautifully executed, and perfectly yours.

My Travel Stories

A Magical day at the Alhambra in Spain

If you were to ask me the #1 place to visit in Spain, I would have to say the Alhambra in Granada.  When we went, we had a guide bring us there early, with pre purchased tickets.  This is an important detail.  We were surprised to see that the Alhambra is not just a palace, but a walled citadel with...Read more.

Wonderful Agent
We booked our European vacation, including a river cruise and an additional week in Germany, with Diane over 1 year ago. Who knew Covid would still be so prevalent in our lives. We are in the process of rebooking and she could not be more accommodating. Diane has been there every step of the way, keeping us informed and giving us options. She has been so patient and helpful with our questions, and concerns. Diane is amazing at what she does. She truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her for any type of vacation plans you are considering. She is very knowledgeable and well traveled.

Trip of a lifetime!
We contacted Diane earlier this year to begin our travel plans to Italy. Diane was not only super responsive and friendly but she was also very knowledgeable in the cities we were considering in Italy. She travels frequently to several destinations each year. I think this is a huge advantage when she makes recommendations on travel plans, excursions and hotels.

We gave Diane tentative dates and cities and she was able to quickly put together several options. Everything was handled with exceptional attention to detail.

Our vacation was absolutely perfect. Every hotel check-in, train ride, flight, car service, and excursion went perfectly! Her list of preferred vendors and hotels can not be beat.

We absolutely recommend Diane's services to any one looking for the ultimate vacation experience.

The best trip of our lives!
Diane planned our first trip to Spain and we couldn't have done it without her. She was detailed, quick, and answered every question I had. She planned our whole trip, which included transportation to/from airport, train rides, hotels, and excursions. Diane was fantastic and I highly recommend her.

Above-and-beyond every step of the way
I have known Diane for over 30 years and she is one of the most elegant people I know. So, luxury travel is right up her alley. However, I put our friendship to the test and asked her to find me a "City Slickers" style cattle drive. And she did not disappoint! I am just back from my week on the range and am a better person for it. Not only did she ply her network to find the best outfitter, but she made the initial contacts and set me up with top-shelf travel insurance. 'Cause you never know what's going to happen out there. Upon my return, I thought I left my iPad in airport security and Diane committed to help me out (and I quote) "I will do whatever it takes to make it right for you on my end". She is truly the best of the best, don't think twice about contacting her.

Thanks so much, Joni - I am so glad that the trip was everything you had wished for! I am glad I could work my connections to find you the best guides to put this together, and that your IPad was so quickly located! Your review means the world to me and I am truly grateful.
