Let’s Go Somewhere Remarkable
The world’s waiting and it’s better when we go together
Why Travel With Me?
When you join one of my hosted group trips, you’re not just along for the ride, you’re part of a small group of like-minded travelers on a set itinerary, usually sailing on a river, ocean, or expedition cruise.
While we’ll be sharing the ship with other guests, our group enjoys exclusive extras that make the trip even more memorable. Depending on the cruise line and the specific sailing, that might mean special pricing, onboard credits, private excursions, welcome get-togethers, or even behind-the-scenes experiences. Each trip offers something a little different, those perks are based on the supplier and the sailing, but the value and connection? That’s always included.
I’m there to guide you from the moment you sign up to the final farewell toast. So all you need to do is pack your bags and get ready for something truly special.

History-ish Escapes: Travel with a Backstory
Some trips come with a little extra depth, led in collaboration with my daughter Melanie, a historian with a passion for the unexpected. These itineraries are rich with context, stories, and optional talks or excursions that bring history to life in fascinating ways.
Melanie is a historian, archivist, and professor of history. She holds an M.A. in History from the University of Massachusetts, Boston, and a B.A. in History from Shepherd University, and has over a decade of experience in the museum and public history field. Throughout her career, she has endeavored to uncover the average people of the past – the ones who usually get left out of the stories we often hear.
