Agent specializing in Bespoke Travel & Cruises

I specialize in bespoke travel--specifically Nerdventures--whether that's an in-depth tour of a specific state/country/national park or an ocean or river cruise to your favorite destinations. I can simplify the planning process by building an itinerary, giving you flight and hotel/ship options to choose from, offering suggestions of excursions, and booking your whole trip for you. Plus, you'll have someone in your corner before, during and after travel to help should any needs arise.

    Excellent Europe Trip
    Reviewed By Greg&Claire - Wake Forest, NC | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
    Heather was awesome. She took care of the details and we were free to enjoy a fantastic trip. She provided suggestions and helpful info for travel insurance, attractions to visit, tours, and more. And communications were excellent. All our questions were answered in a timely manner and we were updated frequently on the status of hotels, flights, train schedules and costs. Not to mention, she saved us money versus trying to book everything ourselves.
