Hi, I’m Heike! I’m a California-based travel advisor, born and raised in Trier, Germany — one of Europe’s oldest cities, and a storybook town in its own right.

Heike Nelson, Travel with Heike

I’m a Europe specialist. My sweet spot is the Europe beyond the obvious: hidden gems and storybook towns, distinctive small hotels with real character, and river and ocean cruises that let you unpack once and wake up somewhere new. My core countries are Spain, France, Germany, Ireland and the Balkans — places I know deeply and keep returning to.

Everything I plan is custom, built around how you like to travel — and I never charge planning fees. I’m also CPR certified, so you’re in capable hands in more ways than one.

Work with me

Tell me your dates and how you like to travel, and I’ll build the trip around you — the stays, the pacing, the little experiences that make it yours.
