Terri Fogarty
I am a former university administrator who changed careers mid-stream to do what I love: travel and help other travelers design their dream vacations to Europe.
I fell in love with Europe on my first trip to Paris more than 20 years ago. Since then, my husband Bill and I have traveled throughout Europe more than 45 times. As a travel agent, I planned hundreds of trips to Europe for my clients. I am a certified France Destination Specialist, an Italy Agent, and a Germany and Austria expert.
Europeans seem to understand what life is all about: family, friends and food.
My posts are designed to share with you my years of experience as a travel agent and a traveler… what I learned and what I love.
