About Us
Shawn & Bill Personke
We are from Chelsea, Michigan, and we love to travel. In fact, we retired early so we could begin traveling more often and for longer durations. We're already planning our next adventures!
We've traveled with Rick Steves four times since 2007 and we really love the mix of guidance and independence that his tours offer (not too mention the excellent Travel Forums).
While we could provide lots of travel tips, we'll leave you with just one:
Bring home some Euros to prime the pump for your return trip!
