Robin Merrill
Hello, I'm Robin! Travel isn't just a passion - it's a way of life. I was raised with globetrotting parents who travelled around the word in the 1950's, instilling the love of travel and the importance of experiencing different cultures into me. I also spent 6 years as a flight attendant with Continental Airlines so I've explored destinations across Europe, the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, India, Egypt, South and Central America, the Greek Islands and Asia, gaining a deep understanding of what it's like to immerse oneself in different cultures and unique experiences.
Some of my favorite memories are hiking the gorges in Crete and Western Australia, kayaking around the Croatian Islands, snorkeling with the manta rays in Fiji, taking an awe-insipring train ride along the Nile, swimming and hiking through caves in Belize to see Mayan artifacts and being greeted by a parade of decorated elephants when stepping off the Maharajas Train in Jaipur, India. These adventures have shaped my desire to design authentic, personalized itineraries across the globe and to share my love of travel with you.
I also had the opportunity to live and work in Ireland and the UK for 7 years while attending college and studying dance, then onto the beautiful Napa Valley for 30+ years! I have a passion for the arts, history, wine and food culture and return every year to revisit these destinations so I can customize the most up-to-date experiences for you! My other careers as a wedding planner and registered nurse have taught me the skills to listen, anticipate needs, stay organized and most of all how to provide professional, caring service.
Creating global itineraries, planning luxury small ship cruises, riverboat cruises and rail journeys are my passion. My goal is to create seamless and authentic travel experiences that are tailored to your desires and I collaborate with top travel partners like Virtuoso to offer exclusive access and benefits that will enhance these trip experiences.
I love a great laugh, an open dance floor, biking, hiking, and time with my family. Get in touch with me for a complimentary consultation to start planning your next adventure together!
