Hi, I’m Renee! The founder of Dream Plan Experience (travel blog), Dream Retreats Europe (host to luxury retreats in Europe) and Thatch travel consultant and creator. I've been exclusively travelling to Europe for 35 years, focusing on ✨France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain✨ to gain a priceless locals’ perspective. During this time, I've lived in Germany twice. My goal is to help as many people as possible experience the authentic side of Europe. As a culturally immersive traveller, I embrace the customs, food, and everyday European life, just like a local. How I can help: 👉 I balance top attractions with off-the-beaten-path experiences to maximize your vacation time. 👉I offer various services to suit your needs, from 1:1 consultations and curated guides to fully customized travel planning, making European travel stress-free. Explore my Thatch store for free or ready-to-buy guides and itineraries. 👉I understand that travellers are looking for more out of their holiday. I focus on authentic experiences representing local culture, leveraging my strong relationships with local partners for the latest insider information. What I'm a great fit for: 👉Mature travellers, couples, and solo travellers who enjoy authentic experiences, great food and wine, hidden gems, classic sites, and the art of slow travel. I believe slow travel is an approach that emphasizes deeper connections with destinations by taking time to experience local culture, food, and everyday life, often prioritizing quality over quantity and minimizing fast-paced itineraries. Are we a match? Let's work together on planning your next trip! Contact me at renee@dreamplanexperience.com for more info.
