Cold Weather Travel

Northern Lights in Norway
Northern Lights in Norway

I know a lot of the US is covered in snow all winter long and day dreams about a warm Caribbean island to thaw out in...


But I'm from Arizona and I don't have to shovel sunshine! That means I am always game for going to cold destinations! Over the last few years I have done quite a few and if you are ready to put some layers on, I'd love to share my experiences with you and send you there to experience the beauty this world offers!


Tasmania offers some gnarly winters, compared to the rest of the country. Most of the island is protected and in pristine condition. Toss in the best wildlife sanctuary I have ever been to, plus a world renowned museum, and this is a wonderful place to holiday.


Iceland is a magical destination. The island is very different in the winter versus the summer. Depending on the time of year, it is possible to see the Northern Lights, which are a must see! They are fiercely proud of their Icelandic Horses and their hot dogs. Game of Thrones fan? Well, it's possible to see some of the filming locations.


Antarctica is simply the most magical place on the planet. I've never been somewhere that made me feel so small yet so significant at the same time. Plus, you'll never get tired of hanging out with penguins.


Norway is a beautiful cold weather destination. Yes, you should absolutely see the Fjords in the summer when they are beautiful and green, but this country is beautiful and simple in the winter. I have suggestions for things to do all up and down the coast!


Alaska is one of my favorite places on the planet. It is beautiful no matter what time of year you are there, but it's a nice cool place to travel to during US summer months. Wildlife and nature are the biggest reasons to visit Alaska. Whether you want to travel by land or by sea, Alaska has an array of opportunities for anyone looking to see epic number 49.

This agent knows the BIZ!
Sarah has handled our travel arrangements for quite a few years. :)

She can handle small and large travels. Sarah has done extensive travel in all shapes and forms. She is an EXCELLENT resource and provides top notch customer service. She is adventurous but practical. Explain to her what you are looking for, and she will make it happen.

On one occasion, I had what could have been a difficult travel experience but upon calling her it was handled with ease.

Sarah is our go to girl when we travel. Make her yours!

Best Family Vacation
I was trying to plan a trip to Australia on my own thinking I would save money. It was frustrating. I called Sarah and explained what I wanted and my budget. She helped me get everything booked and stayed within budget. Her recommendations were fantastic. She guided us through all steps of international travel.

The best agent I have worked with!
I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah on many trips. She is an extremely professional agent who is great to work with. She has helped me with overseas vacations multiple times, including New Zealand, a multi country European trip, and even Antartica. She is constantly impressing me with her knowledge of the topics/locations we are discussing. She is available to answer any questions I may have about excursion or seasons to travel, and is willing to offer suggestions based on what we have discussed. I value her opinion and have been very thankful for all that she does. She thinks of everything needed for the perfect vacation, down to transfers (which I always forget about), insurance, currency exchange tips, and places of interest. She is the only person I will book my travel through!

Family Vacation - Cruise to Mexico
I have referred Sarah to others and have actually received a call thanking me for referring them to her.

She saved us money over the internet sites and advised us on the important things we wouldn't have known otherwise. We are grateful we found Sarah,and will use her services again on our next trip.

Having Sarah professionally advise us saved time and gave us the confidence to explore areas where we wouldn't have otherwise.

(I wish we traveled more!!!)

Feel free to share this note with anyone.
Thanks again!
