Wandering Puffin LLC is a full service travel arranger and consultant specializing in independent European travel from the Atlantic to the Adriatic, from the Baltic to Black Sea and everywhere in between."Travel is an Adventure, Experience It!!"
My passion for travel started at a very young age. At age twelve, I lived in Poitiers, France for one year, being immersed in the culture. I have since crossed the pond many times spending considerable time in over 40 European countries and having traveled to over 55. I have also had the chance to cross the Pacific to places such as China, Thailand and Hong Kong.
I can arrange your Asian adventures, as well. In an effort to further my experiences and education, I try to travel in Europe once or twice each year, revisiting many of the destinations I arrange, but also try to add new adventures to each experience, recently spending time in Ukraine, Moldova and Romania so I am able to bring these experiences to my current and new clients like you. I have experienced river cruises, self drives, ocean cruising and train travel, so I can provide you the nuances of each experience in deciding what is the best option or combination for you.
I have over 20 years experience in the travel industry, including owning my own agency now in its 11th year. I have participated in many destination training programs related to the destinations I sell, both in the United States and abroad. This has allowed me to develop relationships and have access to many resources so that I am able to provide you the best value and expertise for your next European adventure and beyond. If I don't know the answer, I will find it.
I have been privileged to earn the trust of clients from all over the country as well as Canada and Australia, so distance is not a problem in putting together your next travel adventure.
Whether your interests include castle stays in Germany or Ireland, a wine or culinary experience in places like France, Spain or Italy, getting off the beaten path in countries like Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia or even Austria, cruising the Fjords of Norway or river cruising or barging one of Europe's spectacular rivers lined with history and culture as varied as Europe itself or any unique requirements that fulfill your discriminating palate, I know that I can put together a customized travel adventure that is as unique as you are.
I am not limited to certain service providers, so if there is something special or unique you want to enhance your adventure,let me know and I will seek it out.
I am able to provide references from clients who have used my services in the Twin Cities area and the rest of the country over the past 20 years. I am a member of the local Better Business Bureau of Minnesota/North Dakota. As a travel professional, I pride myself in giving each and every client the time they deserve to make sure that their expectations are exceeded. I will be there through the whole process from the initial conversation to the follow up at the end to address all questions and concerns, so let me know how I can arrange your next adventure to Europe and beyond.
Please contact me by phone, email or text, so I can set up a meeting with you by appointment as I base out of home. I am very happy to meet with you in person if you are in the Twin Cities area, or by phone, text, email or Skyping, outside of the Twin Cities area, statewide and around the country.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to introduce myself.
Remember that "Travel is an Adventure, Experience it!!"
