Discovery Awaits

Expert Services Offered

At Baguettes & Backroads, I offer a curated menu of travel services designed for meaningful connection, cultural depth, and intentional discovery.

CUSTOM TRIP PLANNING

For the independent traveler who wants an expertly crafted journey, I design bespoke itineraries tailored to your interests, pace, and budget. From charming villages to vibrant cities, I help you travel deeper — with clarity, confidence, and care.

Ideal for: solo travelers, couples, families, or small groups
Offered as: full itineraries or à la carte planning

PERSONAL GUIDE AND TRAVEL COMPANION

If your trip is already planned but you'd like a knowledgeable guide to walk with you, I offer on-the-ground support in select cities like Strasbourg and Paris. Whether for a few hours or a full day, I’ll help you discover more than what’s on the surface — with context, culture, and comfort. Ideal for: short stays, first-time travelers, or anyone craving local insight

Offered as: hourly or full-day guiding services (up to 8 hours)

STUDY ABROAD AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

With a decade of experience leading student groups, I create and guide immersive, place-based educational programs for universities, high schools, and adult learners. From history and sustainability to language and gastronomy, each itinerary is both enriching and accessible.

Ideal for: faculty-led groups, gap-year students, community colleges, or lifelong learners

SMALL GROUP TOURS

Join a thoughtfully designed experience where every detail — from lodging and local guides to food and cultural activities — has been chosen with intention. These seasonal trips follow a slow travel model and highlight authentic, lesser-known destinations across France, Switzerland, and nearby regions.

 

Group size: typically 4–8 travelers
Style: immersive, slow-paced, and story-rich

NICHE EXPERIENCES

For the curious soul, I also offer themed journeys centered around shared passions: literary pilgrimages, photography trips, biking adventures, hiking escapes, food & wine trails, and resistance history routes. These are small, intentional group trips for travelers who seek more than just sightseeing.

 

Themes include: literature, photography, world war history, sustainable food, nature, and the arts

TRAVEL CONSULTING

If you’re planning your own adventure and just need expert advice, I offer one-on-one travel consulting to help you make informed choices with confidence. Whether you’re unsure about logistics, cultural etiquette, or regional highlights, I’m here to provide clarity and guidance tailored to your needs.

 

Ideal for: DIY travelers, first-timers, or anyone needing direction and ideas
Offered as: virtual sessions by appointment

Each journey is shaped with care — rooted in connection, history, and the joy of discovery.
