"Astrid’s travel information has made me a confident solo traveler.  I used to travel a bit for work and that was always very planned and contained.  I would visit cities but never really get to enjoy the pulse.  Astrid shares solid information on the best sights, values, and travel tips to ensure memorable and safe experiences in vibrant or serene cities.  When I need to get away in a flash I always call Astrid for recommendations.”

Elizabeth “Boo” Thomas

Retired President/CEO, Center for Planning Excellence

“Astrid’s website, astridtravel.com, was a huge help to me as I planned my first month-alone trip to Italy. Although I am a seasoned traveler, I learned so much more by watching Astrid’s videos and using her handy lists. Packing cubes, safe iPhone carrier, travel documents and insurance tips were lifesavers. The actual items for packing/unpacking saved me so much time at each destination. I would heartily recommend Astrid’s website and videos!”
