Where will your story take you next?

Hi, I am Pat Smith‑Nelson — Travel Advisor, Adventure Planners

For more than 20 years, I’ve explored the world—wandering through ancient temples in Egypt, savoring the culture of Japan, drifting along the canals of Italy, and discovering the charm of Germany, Austria, Scotland, and Ireland. Travel has shaped my life, and helping others experience it is my greatest joy.

I became a travel advisor because I love watching people write their own stories through adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of a European escape, a cultural journey abroad, or a relaxing getaway, I bring firsthand experience and thoughtful guidance to every itinerary.

I also love cruising—sometimes it’s simply my favorite way to unwind. I’ve sailed with Disney, Royal Caribbean, Princess, and several others, giving me deep insight into ships, itineraries, and the small touches that make a voyage special.

When you book with me, my services are always complimentary. I believe in building real relationships with my clients and being the steady, reassuring voice throughout your planning process. Traveling abroad can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to make you comfortable, confident, and fully supported.

From flights and hotels to land tours, cruises, and excursions, I handle every detail with care. My goal is simple: to look out for you, anticipate your needs, and provide exceptional service from the moment we begin planning until you return home.

  • Group Travel: Where My Love for Adventure Began

    My passion for travel started more than 20 years ago, and it all began with a group tour to Italy. That first experience opened my eyes to how meaningful, safe, and fun traveling with a group can be—and that love has only grown stronger over the years.

    Group travel offers something truly special. It gives you the chance to explore the world with confidence, meet new people, and build friendships that often last long after the trip ends. Just last year, I led a group to Scotland, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Every tour brings new connections, shared laughter, and memories you carry for a lifetime.

    If you’ve never traveled before or feel nervous about navigating a foreign country, a group tour is the perfect place to start. You’re surrounded by support, guided every step of the way, and never left wondering what to do next. Group tours provide comfort, safety, and structure, allowing you to simply enjoy the journey.

    Let’s start planning your next group adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of Europe, the UK, or beyond, I’m here to make the experience seamless, exciting, and full of discovery.
