I am well versed in some of the most romantic cities in the world including London, Paris, Rome, Venice and Barcelona and love Italy, Greece and the islands of the Mediterranean! Bring me your vision and I will design a journey with as much detail as you desire for your Destination Celebration, Adventure or Luxury Travel.

Overwater Bungalows
Not All Overwater Bungalows are Created Equal
Talk about a tough job but someone had to do it! We headed to French Polynesia to compare several exquisite properties featuring that iconic, bucket-list experience: the overwater bungalow in the South Pacific! Let's just say that, while each property had its strengths and I would stay again at any of them, the experience was different and you n...

last light from our private plunge pool--Santorini
Greek Islands Introduction- Santorini
Santorini is simply a legendary destination! We saved it for last on our initial voyage partly due to logistics (it's located at the bottom of the Cyclades island group) and partly because we wanted to savor the experience without being distracted by moving on to the next island. Great choice as we found it the perfect place to settle in and ref...

Greek Islands Introduction- Mykonos
Many people look to plan a trip to the Greek Islands and they are blown away by the sheer number of islands to choose from. I definitely fit that category so we set out to get a first hand look. Mykonos and Santorini are the trendy pics and, as we discovered, for very good reason. This is the first of four posts as each island deserves it's own ...

Jamaica: No problem Mon! Fall 2020
I can't tell you how many times the answer to my question was simply "Jamaica, no problem Mon". It rolled off their tongues as a singular connected statement that was obviously more than a saying; it's an attitude that permeates this culture. "Relax! This is Jamaica: it's not a problem". Wow! Such a refreshing contrast to the sometimes hurried, ...

Long haul to Seychelles totally worth it!
Let's be perfectly clear: no one relishes the thought of traveling from Minneapolis-to-Chicago-to-Abu Dhabi-to-Mahe, Seychelles but I can tell you with ZERO hesitation that it is totally worth it! After one week and more than 3000 photos later, the only regret was we weren't there nearly long enough! We got a taste of one of the most remarkable ...

First class service for a once in a lifetime trip!
Reviewed By Lins - Woodbury, MN | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Anne, from IKP travel helped us plan and book our recent trip to Hawaii. She was super patient (we changed our date of travel, and had a hard time deciding which island we wanted to go to). Anne, had first hand experience at seveal of the locations she recommended for us to stay. We had specifically requested a hotel that had a kitchenette, and in room washer/dryer. The options she sent us were fantastic, and the location we settled on was amazing. Anne traveled to Oahu shortly before our trip, and picked up brochures that she hand delivered for us to check out. I highly recommend working with Anne for all your travel and vacation needs!
Anne Allen responded

Two Families Traveling Abroad Together
Reviewed By Amy - Ham Lake, MN | Traveled to St. Lucia ~ Caribbean
Anne was very responsive! This was our first International family vacation, during a pandemic, traveling with our brother and sister in law and their 4 kids. Anne managed all 11 of us wonderfully! She was helpful getting us information on appropriate resorts for families with cost options to chose from. While we were traveling, she was just a text message away and always responded quickly!
