The Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy

Custom European journeys · FIT

Europe, exactly the way you'd travel it.

Seven years living in Germany taught me the Europe you don't find in a guidebook. Now I plan it for you.

What is Fully Independent Travel?

A canned tour locks your days. Yours flexes.

A packaged tour marches everyone through the same itinerary on the same schedule. Fully Independent Travel (FIT) is built only for you: three days in London or five, a slow morning in a café or a private guide through the Colosseum, your call. I coordinate the flights, trains, transfers, and hotels behind the scenes so it all feels effortless.

Prefer a little company? I also plan small-group Europe trips (roughly 8–12 travelers) for people who like to share the road.

Good to know

Before you plan a European trip

Best time to travel

Shoulder seasons like late spring and early fall bring good weather, thinner crowds, and better prices. I'll match the timing to the regions you want and the pace you like.

How far ahead to plan

For the best availability, six months or more is ideal. The best hotels and guides book up early, and a tighter timeline often means paying a premium for what's left. On a shorter runway? Reach out anyway. It can still be done, and I work fast.

Traveling solo?

Europe is one of the most rewarding places to travel on your own. I build in the right mix of guided moments and independence so you're never stuck, never bored.
