Europe Travel Itineraries
Each one of these itineraries was hand-curated by me for myself, friends, and family. I hope they’ll spark ideas for your own journeys and give you a sense of what’s possible.
Italy: Echoes of the Empire from City to Coast
Some trips are about seeing the sights. This one’s about feeling the past come alive. This eight-day Rome and Amalfi Coast itinerary finds beauty and meaning in what came before.
Scotland: Castles, Creatures & Curiosity Collide
Traveling with wee bairns? Definitely for bravehearts. Luckily, this six-day Scotland itinerary skips the “stand and stare” stops in favor of hands-on adventures.
Ireland: A Quick Escape to the Emerald Isle
Think you need two weeks to experience the “real” Emerald Isle? Think again. This four-day Ireland itinerary offers a spirited taste in one long weekend.
Switzerland: Belle Époque Exhale & Elegance
When life felt heavy and corsets too tight, 19th century travelers came to Lake Geneva for a little R&R at the spa. This six-day itinerary follows their luxurious lead.
