WANDERLUST (noun) - a strong desire or urge to wander and travel to explore the world

Travel is my passion and helping people is my profession … Europe with Heidi is my unique opportunity to blend the best of my two worlds to help others plan their travel adventures. Let's explore Europe together!

As long as I can remember, I have been on the road exploring the world. After traveling all over North America in my childhood and early adulthood, my husband and I discovered the joy of traveling in Europe when we took the leap and crossed the pond for a 3-week vacation across Europe in 2006. I was immediately hooked. Since then, I have returned to explore Europe as much as possible …. on my own, with family and with friends. Traveling with children ? My experiences traveling with my own children in Europe from their early childhood through the teenage years are special memories for our family. Multi-generational family trips? Special occasion trips for couples? Gathering a group of friends together ? There are so many reasons to travel. Making memories with your special people in special places to experience new places and cultures together is what I believe is the best bit of traveling!

Over the past two decades, I have gained unique knowledge and skills from my personal travel experiences on almost 20 trips to Europe. I have been enlisted by friends, family, and friends-of-friends to help plan for others a variety of trips across Europe. Feedback and encouragement from others has led me to this next venture to offer my services more widely. I bring a wide range of experience to help others with consultation, trip planning and even leading a trip on the ground in Europe. My services can help everyone - traveling solo ? traveling as a couple? traveling in a small group? a large group? I’ve planned trips for individuals (I’ve traveled extensively on many solo trips), couples, small groups and groups up to 16 people! With my knowledge and skills, I can provide the detailed oriented planning that will create the unique vacation that you are looking for… from a short trip to perhaps a 7-week long adventure, I’ve charted the way !

Have a “wish list” of must-see places ? … from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the Colosseum in Rome to Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, there are iconic places that many people dream of visiting. This can make these places crowded and sometimes challenging to visit. With my knowledge, skills and experience, Europe with Heidi can help make your visit to busy places like these not only possible but much more enjoyable. I can provide many tips and even help with advanced booking. In addition to the famous, iconic sights, I can help you discover “off the beaten path” places that you may never dreamed of … these quite possibly will become the highlight of your trip! During my nearly 2 decades of European travels, I have connected with locals that can offer you unique experiences with a personal touch. With my personal planning services, you will discover the benefit of so many options. With Europe with Heidi your individualized plan will be designed to meet your personal needs!

I welcome the opportunity to plan your next travel adventure! Let’s talk about your travel dreams.

Why Travel ?

Europe with Heidi believes in traveling with kindness and respect… for the culture, for the land, for the history and for the people of the places we visit. The spirit of travel in my heart leads me to wonder, to wander and to explore. My favorite things include ancient ruins, fairy tale castles, soaring cathedrals, local food markets, hiking paths along a coast or through a forest, a boat out on the water and so much more. From big cities to small villages, there are so many places to explore or where one can simply just be.

Whether it be a bit of rest & relaxation or an action-packed day of adventure, spending time being in Europe fills my soul with joy!

Over the years I have shared my travel stories with family & friends through my personal blog. Use this link to check out my real life adventures!
