Do you have Portugal on your list? 🇵🇹 👉 Check out what one of my clients had to say after she came back from a trip I designed to Porto and Lisbon for her. “Lynne designed such a great trip to Portugal for my first solo adventure. I was really overwhelmed in the beginning and with her words of encouragement and her expertise I became so much more comfortable with the whole planning process. She really listened to what I envisioned this journey to be and through our conversations and emails she put a great itinerary together. I would get so excited to see my next email from Lynne and what she found. And since I am a young-at heart senior with a zest for life, Lynne found the perfect mix of tours, like a tile painting class in Porto and a cooking class in Lisbon which both were fabulous! She knew how to space things out and give me time to just explore. My itinerary had all the details which made everything easier and I got a trip of a lifetime! Lynne was always available and even checked up on me. I am so grateful for wanderyourway.com, a big thank you to Lynne!! Highly recommend!!” Sheryl K, Wisconsin ✨ Don’t hesitate to get in touch so we can get the ball rolling on your trip of a lifetime!

Do I need a rail pass? 🚊 This is one of the most difficult questions to answer because it depends. Sometimes point to point-to-point tickets are cheaper. And sometimes a rail pass will save you money. 💷 There are several types of rail passes so it’s so important to do your research. Here are some things to consider: 🚃 How many days will you travel by train? Which countries? You can buy rail passes to cover just one country or 5 countries. One mistake people make is they pay for a rail pass that covers more than they need — so in the end they’re overpaying. They may have been okay with a “lesser” pass or individual point-to-point tickets. I really hate to see folks wasting money. 🚃 Do you want to take those high speed trains because your time is limited? Well guess what — rail passes often don’t include high speed trains so you have to pay an extra fee and you may need to reserve a seat as well. 🚃 Are you okay traveling in second class? Then point-to-point tickets may be less expensive because some rail passes are only available in first-class options. But rail passes can offer flexibility as you often don’t have to make reservations for the train you want. Simply show up and hop on board. 🥾 There is a lot to examine and ponder. It can take some time to do the math and the research but if you are budget-conscious then you’ll want to make that time. Or you can always check with your favorite travel planner! 🙋🏻‍♀️

✨ I love receiving testimonials from my clients! After finding me through my Wander Your Way podcast 🎙, Janice reached out to me to help her plan a trip to Paris! Here’s what she had to say about the whole experience: 🇫🇷 “I found Lynne Nieman through her podcast Wander Your Way, and after listening to her, thought she might be able to help me book my trip. After reviewing my bucket list with her, Paris was the chosen destination. ✈️ I wanted a tour group as I was traveling alone. She helped me find a tour that checked all the boxes. It was perfect. Lynne took care of all my travel plans with the tour and flights. 📝 Through it all she was attentive, personable and professional in every way. Every question, great or small, was answered quickly and thoroughly. She gave me the confidence I needed as a solo traveler who hadn't really traveled much recently. I had a great vacation. Amazing! 🗺 As I reflect on my trip I think about where I might go next, my first stop will be reaching out to Lynne to see where I go and how I get there!

If you’ve ever been to an UNESCO World Heritage Site, you know they always leave an impression. Whether cultural or natural, these sites are worth making the time and effort to visit. ✨ Here are 3 sites in Europe that I adore and I highly recommend visits to! 🍇 The Lavaux Vineyards Terrace in Switzerland These vineyards stretch about 30km along Lake Geneva from Chateau de Chillon to the eastern outskirts of Lausanne. Walk along the path right through the vineyards and you’ll meet charming villages where you can stop for a coffee and look over the lake. 🇫🇷 The banks of the River Seine Along the peaceful Seine, you’ll be able to view glorious buildings, bridges, and quays that make Paris so beautiful. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Old & New Towns of Edinburgh, Scotland Each ‘town’ of Edinburgh is different and distinctive, yet they somehow work together. The medieval fortress in the Old Town and the neoclassical New Town give the city a unique character.

Renting a car in Europe may seem a bit daunting. 🚙 But it doesn't have to be. 🚊 Yes, there is really good public transportation throughout a lot of Europe. However, there are some countries or regions where the trains or busses aren’t so good. So hiring a car might be a better option. If you do decide to rent a car then read on, because I have some great tips for renting a car in Europe. Tip #1 - Rent the smallest car possible 🚗 I can’t stress this enough.

💻 Do you like feeling in control, but also feel overwhelmed with all the moving parts of planning a trip to Europe? Check out what one control-loving client had to say! 🧳 “Lynne does a wonderful job trip planning. My family just returned from an 18 day trip to England and Scotland that Lynne helped us plan. I’m a guy who loves being in control and planning things myself. I was having trouble so I reluctantly let this podcaster help out, but I was so happy I did. It was our first trip to Europe and Lynne’s knowledge of Europe and travel was more than helpful. There were 5 in our family each with different interests. Lynne helped us plan out our route that had something for everyone and allowed us to see the sights while also slowing us down to really experience where we were. I could not recommend her services enough. Thanks for everything, Lynne! We can’t wait to get back to Europe!” — Brandon 👉 Ready to start planning your trip to Europe? Get in touch today!
