I am currently traveling in Europe but wanted to send a quick message recapping the Croatia portion of my trip.

Croatia delivered an unforgettable adventure filled with stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant coastal charm. I began in Zagreb, where the relaxed café culture and charming old town offered a perfect welcome. From there, a scenic drive took me to Plitvice Lakes National Park, where cascading waterfalls and emerald lakes created a dreamlike escape into nature. This was a trip highlight! 

Next, I explored the ancient streets of Split, where Roman ruins and lively markets meet the sparkling Adriatic. A quick ferry ride brought me to Hvar Island, where sun-soaked beaches, fresh seafood, and harbor views made for a perfect island retreat.

The journey ended in Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” with its dramatic city walls and breathtaking views of the sea. I climbed to the top of the city wall and circled the entire city from above. 

Each destination added a new layer to Croatia’s charm—natural beauty, cultural depth, and coastal relaxation all wrapped into one incredible trip.

Next stop Switzerland.

I am still out of the office from April 21, 2025 - May 7, 2025. While I won't be completing new quotes during these dates, I will be available to my traveling clients.

I just left Croatia and I am now spending a few days in Switzerland. I am excited for this solo adventure to experience Zurich, Rhine Falls, Jungfraujoch, Mt Pilatus, and Lucerne. 

I will be posting as much as possible to the Visas and V​​istas Travel Facebook page. Follow along! 

The traveling continues mid May when I head to Aruba. I am out of the of​​fice from May 17-25, 2025. While I won't be completing new quotes during these dates, I will be available to my traveling clients.

The Aruba tourism board has invited me (and a few other agents) to the island to visit a number of resorts, get hands on island experience, and to try the local food. The purpose of this trip is to better my Aruba knowledge for my clients. 

Discover Switzerland: Alpine Elegance at Its Finest

Switzerland is a dream destination where snow-capped mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and charming villages come together in perfect harmony. Whether it's riding the scenic Glacier Express through the Swiss Alps, wandering the storybook streets of Lucerne, or exploring the cosmopolitan cities of Zurich and Geneva, every corner of Switzerland offers breathtaking beauty and seamless travel experiences. In the winter, world-class ski resorts like Zermatt and St. Moritz attract snow lovers, while summer brings opportunities for hiking, biking, and lake cruising amid some of Europe’s most spectacular landscapes.

Switzerland is not just about natural beauty. Visitors can indulge in Swiss chocolate and cheese, shop for luxury watches, and enjoy warm hospitality in every region. From the vineyards of the Lavaux region to the peaks of the Jungfrau, Switzerland offers something for every traveler—whether it's adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both. It's a year-round destination that blends sophistication with alpine charm, and a must-include option for your next European itinerary.
