Wonderful Help!

I’ve had many wonderful trips planned with the help of Candy. Having only travelled mostly within North America, or to predominately English areas of Europe, she helped me be “lost in translation” and be much more comfortable with it. Guiding me on some helpful apps and travel tricks upon arriving really made for an enjoyable trip – as long as I kept my phone and external battery charged over night, but that is another story. Her support is greatly appreciated...
