I cut my teeth on the Rick Steves model of "Back Door" travel and learned the value of seeking out local culture in my travels (food, music, arts, etc.) Soaking up local customs and learning about a city or country is what broadens our world. Of course, I also love a great spa vacation with the girls! I've also done a fair amount of solo travel, even in Europe, and can advise in this area.

As far as planning, pacing is everything. The last thing I want is for you to come home and need another vacation because I've worn you out from over-scheduling your trip. This is an individual preference, and we would discuss in advance to ensure a cadence that is comfortable for you and your group.
