Well, Tanzania is next! 🌍

After my trip to South Africa earlier this year, I've been thinking a lot about getting back to Africa and exploring another part of this incredible continent. And now, I get to do just that!

I'm heading to Tanzania soon, and I'm excited to see what makes this part of the world so special. Of course, I'm looking forward to the wildlife and the landscapes, but I'm just as excited about the places we'll stay, the people we'll meet, and all the little things you can't fully appreciate until you're actually there.

One of my favorite parts of being a travel advisor is that I never stop learning. I can spend hours researching a destination, but there's something different about experiencing it yourself, asking questions, and seeing things through your own eyes.

And when someone trusts me to help plan a trip they've been dreaming about for years, I want to bring as much of that firsthand knowledge to the table as I can.

I'll be sharing some of the adventure along the way, and I'm curious...

Is an African safari on your bucket list? If it is, what's the one thing you'd most want to see or experience?

A little travel safety reminder! 🌎

There’s been an increase in fraudulent emails that look like they’re coming from cruise lines and travel companies. They can be surprisingly convincing, with familiar logos, professional wording, and even details about an upcoming trip.

So, here’s a friendly reminder: If you’ve booked your trip with me, never provide your credit card information directly to a travel supplier in response to an email or text, even if it looks legitimate.

If you receive a message asking you to confirm a payment, update your card, or verify your booking, pause before clicking any links or sharing information. Just reach out to me first, and I’ll help you determine whether it’s legitimate.

It’s a small thing, but it’s one of the ways I look out for you. My job doesn’t end when your trip is booked. I’m here to help you feel confident and taken care of throughout the entire process.

When in doubt, check with me first! ❤️

I’m realizing something about the way I want to build my travel business:

I am not content knowing a little bit about everywhere.

I want to know certain places really, really well.

Not just what the photos look like. Not just the “top 10 things to do.” I want to understand the little details that make a destination right for a particular traveler. The experiences, the accommodations, the logistics, the seasons, the splurges that are worth it, and the places that make you say, “THIS is why you came all this way.”

Alaska has been my first deep dive.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve worked toward my advanced Alaska specialization, explored the state by land AND by sea, and continued learning about what makes each style of Alaska trip unique.

There’s still more to learn, and honestly, I hope there always is. But I’m proud of how far that journey has come.

And now, I’m turning my attention to Africa. 🌍

After visiting South Africa in April and completely falling in love with it, I knew I wasn’t finished.

My next adventure will take me to Tanzania.

And this trip is going to be a deep dive.

I’ll experience a safari. I’ll see Mount Kilimanjaro. And I’ll stay in several different properties, a new one almost every night, so I can experience firsthand what each one offers and who it might be best suited for.

Because when you come to me and say, “I’ve always dreamed of going on safari…”

I don’t want to just say, “Amazing! Here are some options.”

I want to be able to say, “Tell me what you’re dreaming of. I know this place.”

That’s the kind of travel advisor I’m working to become.

Someone who is constantly learning, exploring, asking questions, and experiencing destinations firsthand so I can create better, more thoughtful trips for my clients.

So, Tanzania… I’m coming for you. 🇹🇿

And I have a feeling this next chapter is going to be pretty unforgettable.

Follow along. I’ll be sharing the journey, the lessons, the beautiful moments, and probably a lot of wildlife. 🦁🐘

And who knows... maybe I’ll spark a little wanderlust along the way.

😂 Yes, I'm talking about this cruise AGAIN… but HAVE YOU SEEN THESE PRICES?!

A weeklong spring break cruise from Philadelphia with NO FLIGHTS required? These new prices for a family of 4 are hard to ignore!

Norwegian Cruise Line | March 20–28, 2027

Inside cabin: $2,756
Oceanview: $3,796
Balcony: $4,456

And no, you don't have to play futsal or even have kids to join us! Come for the cruise, the destinations, and the fun. But if you love soccer, you'll have the bonus opportunity for at least an hour of training each day with an incredible group of coaches, at no extra cost!

Think family getaway, time with friends, onboard fun, and new places to explore, all without the hassle and expense of flying out of Philly.

Prices are cruise-only, with optional drink, dining, and Wi-Fi upgrades available for about $600 per cabin (2 adults).

Curious? Message me for details!

And to everyone who's heard me talk about this cruise 47 times already… I promise I'll stop soon. :)

I have a fun opportunity and I’m putting this out there to my family, friends, clients and followers! 👋

Would you love to plan a cruise where you can travel with a whole group of people you love?

It could be:
• A group of friends
• A multigenerational family trip
• A sports team or club
• A church, organization or community group
• Or simply a bunch of families who want to vacation together

I’m looking at group opportunities for Spring Break 2027, Summer 2027, or really any time that works for your group.

And here’s the fun part… Royal Caribbean is hosting a ship inspection of Oasis of the Seas on Sunday, October 25th in Cape Liberty, NJ, and I have the opportunity to bring potential group leaders with me.

If you’ve ever thought, “It would be so much fun if we could all go together,” this could be a great time to turn that idea into an actual trip.

You don’t need to have a group completely figured out yet. If you’re curious, interested, or even just have a group of people in mind who might be into it, send me a message! I’d love to talk through the possibilities and see if we can put something together.

A new chapter, and one I've been looking forward to sharing. ❤️

Some of you have been part of my travel journey for years. You've trusted me with your family vacations, celebrated big trips with me, followed along on my own adventures, and supported me in ways that have meant more than you probably realize.

Today, I'm excited to officially introduce Schwan Travels.

After years of building a business around relationships, thoughtful planning, and helping people experience the world in meaningful ways, I've taken a leap and opened my own travel agency.

It's something I've thought about for a long time, and getting here has been a journey in itself. There have been a lot of moving pieces, plenty of learning, and more than a few moments when I've had to remind myself to trust the process. But I couldn't be more excited about what we're building.

And I'm especially excited that I'm not doing it alone. Christine Nemchick-Lauer and Margaret Wolf are part of this next chapter, and having them alongside me makes it that much more special. We're a small but mighty team, and I can't wait for you to get to know them.

Schwan Travels is built around what I've always believed travel should be: personal, thoughtfully planned, and tailored to the people taking the trip. Whether it's a family adventure, a special celebration, a safari, an expedition to somewhere extraordinary, or simply taking the time to see a little more of the world, I want to help make it something you'll remember long after you've returned home.

To everyone who has supported me, trusted me, referred a friend, or simply cheered me on along the way, thank you. Truly.

I'm so excited for what's ahead, and I can't wait to share more of this journey with you.

Welcome to Schwan Travels.

And if you have a trip you've been dreaming about, you know where to find me. ❤️

Dream bigger. Travel together. 🌎

There are some pretty exciting group adventures coming up at Schwan Travels.

Think Alaska. The Galápagos. Grand Bahama. And a few more adventures that I can’t wait to share.

I love group travel because it’s about more than simply getting from one place to another. It’s the people you experience it with, the stories you come home with, and those moments you wouldn’t have had otherwise.

I’ve gathered all of our upcoming group trips in one place so you can take a look at what’s ahead.

🚢 If you’ve been thinking about joining our March 2027 cruise, this is a great time to book!

Norwegian Cruise Line is currently offering FREE prepaid gratuities when you book a balcony cabin or above if you book by September 28. That’s a savings of $160 per person!

Our March 20 - 28, 2027 sailing is part of a group I’m hosting, and our group inventory is getting very close to sold out.

It’s a surely going to be a fun week away, a great group of people, and right now you can save $160 per person on your gratuities. Not a bad time to book!

If you’ve been considering coming along, send me a message and I’ll check what’s still available.

New Year’s Eve in Madeira 🇵🇹

What if you started 2027 somewhere a little unexpected?

Madeira is one of those places that feels like a secret you almost don’t want to share. Dramatic volcanic cliffs, beautiful ocean views, incredible food, and a New Year’s Eve celebration that ends with what’s considered one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in Europe.

And instead of standing shoulder-to-shoulder on a city street, you’ll be watching it all from a rooftop in Funchal.

December 27 – January 2 | 7 days | Air from Boston

Here’s a taste of what’s included:

• A welcome dinner in Funchal to kick things off with a true taste of the island
• A full-day adventure to Porto Moniz, including its famous natural lava pools and lunch
• A free day to explore at your own pace, from the cable car to Monte and the famous wicker toboggans to whale and dolphin watching
• A half-day tour into Madeira’s mountains and highest peaks
• A New Year’s Eve gala at your hotel, followed by the fireworks from the rooftop
• A leisurely January 1 to sleep in, enjoy the island and ease into the new year

Starting at $4,175 per person

Madeira is the kind of destination I love introducing my clients to. It’s beautiful, experiential, a little unexpected, and feels very different from the typical New Year’s getaway.

If this sounds like your kind of way to start 2027, send me a message. I’d love to tell you more and help you decide if Madeira is the right fit for your next big trip.

Luxury isn’t always about adding more.
Sometimes it’s about having less on the schedule.
Less rushing. More time to simply be.
