Meet Nancy Donelon
Long before I ever boarded a plane, I was already traveling. As a child, I spent hours poring over encyclopedias — maps, histories, cultures of places I'd never seen but somehow already loved. My grandparents lived in Miami, and every visit meant boarding the Silver Meteor train, watching the American landscape roll past the window for hours. It was the beginning of something.
My first flight was on Eastern Airlines. Everyone dressed up back then. They served steak or lobster. I was hooked.
That sense of wonder never left me. It just grew into a career.
Today I'm a Certified Travel Advisor and France Specialist with over 20 years of experience planning trips for travelers who want more than a reservation — they want to feel something. I regularly attend Salon de Rendezvous in France, meeting directly with hotels, restaurants, and tourism boards. When I recommend something, it's because I've been there, sat at that table, or walked that street myself.
My specialties are France, Europe, river cruising, and the Caribbean — and I bring the same firsthand knowledge and genuine care to every client.
Off duty, you'll find me in the saddle. I've been riding since childhood and compete in Dressage and Eventing. The discipline, the patience, and the attention to detail that equestrian sport demands — it carries over into everything I do.
When you're ready to go somewhere worth remembering — I'm ready to take you there.
A Different Kind of Journey
Someone once said to me: "Why travel? Just read a book about it." They were missing the point entirely.
My travelers aren't in a hurry. They're curious people who want more than a social media reel — they want to understand a place, taste it, feel it. They care more about the story they'll tell when they get home than the number of cities they checked off.
I once checked in on a client mid-trip in Spain. Her reply: "Food good. Sangria good." That's a successful trip.
If that sounds like you, we'll work well together.
