Hi, I’m Elizabeth! Travel has always been a part of my life including living in Europe for 2 years. I founded Common Thread Travels because I firmly believe that enjoying your trip should start with planning it. I want to share my love of my favorite way to see the world: river cruising.
As a Certified River Cruise Specialist, I utilize my professional expertise to easily match your unique style to the perfect global voyage. Whether you are planning a solo adventure, a romantic couple's getaway, a family vacation, or a large group celebration, I take all the logistical stress out of the equation.
I also bring a very personal understanding to travel challenges. As the mom of a child who must be strictly gluten-free, I provide real-world advocacy and hands-on experience vetting cross-contamination protocols so you can explore with absolute peace of mind.
I am so excited to host our upcoming 2027 Rhine River Cruise, and I look forward to helping you weave together an unforgettable, stress-free adventure!
