Firsthand insight. Thoughtfully planned.

Europe is personal. Your journey should be too.

Born and raised in Hungary, I pair firsthand European knowledge with thoughtful planning to create journeys that feel unmistakably yours.

Tell me about your river-cruise dream

Imagine exploring the history and energy of a grand European city one day, then waking the next morning to a storybook village, a hilltop castle, serene riverbanks or rolling vineyards outside your window. From the comfort of your floating hotel, the journey itself becomes part of the magic. I’ll match the river, itinerary, ship, stateroom and experiences to you—then bring every detail together.

Your journey doesn’t have to stop at the river

This world is so beautiful, and there are many wonderful ways to experience it. River cruising is my signature specialty, but I also plan ocean cruises, intimate small-ship and luxury sailings, culinary-focused voyages, expedition adventures, guided land journeys and thoughtfully blended vacations.

Travel nuggets & inspiration

A little more travel glow

The moments that stay with us are often the most personal—some thoughtfully planned, others beautiful surprises we could never schedule. Returning to our roots, tasting something local, discovering a hidden gem or trying something completely new: here are a few of mine.

Edina inside Budapest's ornate New York Café — **Blown away by beautiful architecture**The New York Café in Budapest is a perfect example of why I love finding the history and artistry inside a destination.

Edina in a flowing red dress in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest — **Back to my Hungarian roots**One of my happiest moments, captured during my recent homecoming to Hungary.If discovering your European roots has always been on your mind but you don’t know where to begin, start with me—as I recently returned from my own heritage journey.

Edina enjoying coffee inside the art-filled Konditorei Kormuth in Bratislava — **Konditorei Kormuth, Bratislava**An unforgettable café discovery. Wherever I travel, I enjoy a good cup of coffee paired with a local pastry or specialty.

Edina enjoying Bermuda's famous fish sandwich beside the blue water — **Tasting the real Bermuda**Tasting local flavors in little hole-in-the-wall places is always a big part of an immersive travel experience, no matter where we travel.

Edina holding her snorkeling gear beside brilliant turquoise water — **Ready to dive into a new adventure**The best memories often begin just outside your comfort zone.

Edina holding the glass artwork she created aboard Celebrity Eclipse — **Making art at sea**A new experience—and a piece of art I created and still enjoy looking at every day.

Edina visiting the lighthouse at Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia — **Discovering places with character**During my visit, the coastal beauty—and the unexpected sound of a bagpiper—made Peggy’s Cove especially magical. I love those unplanned moments that let a place reveal its own personality.

Edina dressed for an elegant evening on an ocean cruise — **Celebrating life at sea**One of my favorite birthday gifts was celebrating at sea—a wonderful reminder to give a trip instead of a thing.

Edina visiting Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica — **Where my love of nature leads**Hiking, learning about local wildlife and exploring nature’s endless beauty are all part of an immersive destination experience—and often become my favorite memories.

Meet your travel advisor

Szia! Edina vagyok.

That’s Hungarian for “Hi! I’m Edina.”

Europe isn’t simply a destination I recommend—it’s home.

I was born and raised in Hungary and now own Vacation Glow Travel in the Greater Philadelphia area. When the pandemic stopped us from exploring, I realized how deeply I missed travel—and that longing rekindled a passion I knew I had to share.

My recent heritage river journey through Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Germany deepened what I love most about river cruising: unpacking once while experiencing the heart of multiple countries. Today, I turn that firsthand knowledge and genuine excitement into meaningful journeys for my clients.

Whether you’re marking a milestone birthday, anniversary, retirement, family reunion or simply your next great adventure, I’m honored to help shape a journey that feels meaningful, personal and truly yours.
