Travel style

I love experiencing the local life when I travel. The people I meet, local food and history is why I love to travel. Depending on my destination, I decide whether I want to wine and dine in luxury or live like the locals so to speak.

Teresa always goes above and beyond our expectations all while staying in our budget. She is incredible at booking us last minute in fabulous hotels in perfect locations as well as coordinating activities that are amazing. She is very attentive, responsive and communicative. We very much enjoy working with Teresa and plan to have her help coordinate our trip for next summer.
