Zoom Travel Consult with Cate

Whether you're taking a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation, reconnecting with your heritage, or finally visiting Germany's magical Christmas markets, you want to return home knowing you made the most of every day and every Euro.

So you start researching. A YouTube video says focus on Munich. A friend says skip Bavaria entirely. The Facebook groups you joined can't agree on whether to rent a car or take the train. Or whether Neuschwanstein Castle is a must-see or an overhyped disappointment.

And the more you research, the more uncertain you feel!

Because what you really need are personalized answers to the questions specific to your trip.

Questions like...
- Stick to Bavaria or can we fit in Berlin, too?
- Drive a rental car or book Super Saver train tickets?
- Is our itinerary setting us up for exhaustion or will we regret not seeing more sights?
- Which Christmas markets will we enjoy the most?
- Which guided tours and day trips are worth the money? Or can we DIY them?
- Can we fit in visiting a neighboring country?
- What do we need to know about German culture to enjoy our trip?

These aren't questions Google or AI can answer for you. Because the right answer depends on your interests, priorities, budget, and many other variables that will make your trip meaningful and memorable for you.

That’s where my 35+ years Germany travel, culture, and language expertise come in.

My German friends always say that I've seen more of Germany than they have...because it's true!

Over the past 35 years, I've traveled alllll over Germany by train, car, bus, and bike. Aaron and I visit destinations over and over in popular and under the radar locations so we can experience as many sights, museums, trails, restaurants, and tours as we can - just so we can make recommendations from first-hand experience.

I've also lived there. earned a PhD in German Applied Linguistics, worked as a German professor in the US, and as an intercultural trainer preparing people to successfully live, study, and work in Germany.

It's my greatest joy to help our clients enjoy the best of Germany. I've helped hundreds of clients in one-on-one consults, and I'd love to help with you, too!

Is it worth spending 90 minutes on a consult when I can just research on my own?
You can absolutely research on your own...but research gives you more options, not more clarity.

What a consult gives you is someone who can quickly work through different scenarios and tell you what's actually right for your trip. Tracy put it best:

"Cate not only saved me from many hours of trying to sort it myself, but answered so many questions that hadn't even occurred to me. Quite a few times I watched as she quickly went through different scenarios to help me find what would work best for my trip. Time & money absolutely well spent!"
Is $347 really worth it?
For most clients, yes — often immediately. The right advice in one area alone can save you more than the cost of the session.

"The info on car rental saved us quite a bit from the sites I was trying to use initially. That savings paid for the cost of the consult for us!" - Karen
I'm early in planning and don't have much yet. Is that okay?
Absolutely! We'll work through your options together, figure out what makes sense for your specific trip, and build out from there. Kelly & Chad were exactly where you are now:

"Cate guided us from feeling overwhelmed about where to begin in planning our Germany trip to having an amazing general itinerary and tons of info about how to fill it in. She has such knowledge and passion about this country and was also extremely kind and down to earth."
