European Travel Specialist
EXPLORE. DISCOVER. EXPERIENCE.
I am a full-time travel consultant focused on European river cruises, ocean cruises, escorted tours, and customized vacations. I will guide you through every step of the process and each detail in planning your dream vacation. No task is too large, no detail is too small.
My greatest joy is to welcome you home from a trip we planned together and be the first to hear the stories you will tell for years to come.
Make use of my expertise to explore the world, discover something new, and enjoy experiences that create lasting memories. Let's get started today!
I have traveled extensively both at home and abroad while visiting every state in the continental United States as well as Portugal, Spain, France, and Brazil.
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time." - T.S. Eliot

Avalon on the Danube
Randall has been wonderful to work with. He is very patient and listened to us before making any recommendations. Once he understood what our needs were he came back with multiple options and paths for us to choose from. He also was very knowledgeable of the area and what activities had the highest ratings. He even saved us money by booking our local excursions and transportation, so we didn't have to worry about anything. He even helped us during one of our trips by contacting an excursion operator to solve an issue we were having. A++ Service!!
