During the 10 years Barb lived in Europe, she traveled extensively across the continent and in Russia. “Now I use my wide spectrum of personal travel experiences to tailor-make a perfect trip for each of our guests,” Barb says.

Barb has been with us for over 20 years and still finds it refreshing to talk with people who haven’t traveled much or are planning their first major vacation experience. She starts by asking where you want to go, how long you are planning to be away, whether you have a budget in mind, and whether you want a more leisurely pace or are trying to see as much as you can in one trip. Barb will then recommend vacation itineraries that are a “best fit” for you.

She also uses her personal travel experience to help you find the “hidden gems” along your journey. Her favorite lesser-known spot? San Sebastian, home to world-renowned restaurants headed by innovative chefs, is a real foodie city.
