Wendy Payne
Founder & Lead Travel Advisor
Specializing in European Adventures & Journeys
📧 wendy@travelwithwendy.net
My first trip was a cross-country family camping trip in 1982 from NY to CA! This began my travel bug – similar to the movie Vacation I have stories and amazements to share. From that trip, began a love and obsession to see the world. Having a true sharing nature, I also love to share and explore.
In 2014, I started ©Travel with Wendy and small group tours around Europe while stationed in Germany. Fluent in German and know several other languages well, I continue to coordinate group travel around the globe.
With over three decades of experience in the travel industry, I specialize in creating bespoke itineraries that blend adventure with comfort. My personal travels across Europe and the Caribbean have given me invaluable insights into crafting unique experiences.

Travel Advisor
Specializing in Alaska, Hawaii, Adventure Travel, European River Cruising and National Parks of North America

Hey there! I’m Suzanne Erickson, married to Chris for 38 years and mom to three adult daughters. My husband is newly retired, and we’ve recently relocated to Colorado Springs, Colorado. I love spending time outdoors and I’m an avid hiker, biker, and coffee drinker. I attribute my adventurous spirit and love of travel to spending much of my life as a military dependent.
Fun fact: I’ve traveled to all fifty United States. I thrive on new adventures, whether it’s discovering hidden gems in a bustling city, sampling unique dishes from local restaurants, or immersing myself in the rich history and traditions of each place I visit. I believe travel is the best way to connect with the world—one meal, one conversation, and one unforgettable view at a time.
My goal is to work with you to plan trips that create memories to last a lifetime.
“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” – Thomas Jefferson
