I make sure that "Let's all travel to Europe together" is indeed a great idea -- with our boutique travel company Inside Europe.
My passion is crafting one-of-a-kind journeys for like-minded people and connecting travelers with places they may have never heard of in addition to what's on their bucket list. I believe that being curious and open to taking the roads less traveled, plus seeking to make meaningful connections, is what differentiates the traveler from being just another tourist.
My favorite part of my day job is product development: connecting travelers with beautiful destinations, authentic experiences, great food, and the local people behind it all. I love traveling and live to travel also personally.
A passionate traveler + foodie, plus journalist by trade, I got βsuckedβ into the happy industry of travel in 2000, first as a tour guide, then soon in operations, sales, and marketing.
I love being in the happy industry of travel and am the proud co-owner of Inside Europe Travel Experiences (since 2007).
In 2020, I launched Traveliciouslife.com to share my food-centric travel favorites.
Inside Europe Travel Experience is a B2B/B2C boutique tour company. Supporting local businesses, avoiding tourism, and taking the roads less traveled are part of our mission to empower people of all ages and backgrounds to #travelbettertogether.

We usually contract directly with the hotels, or, if it is a chain like IHG/Accor you can request through their groups desk.
