Travel with an Expert - Cynthia Bartlett
Cynthia has extensive experience and knowledge of Europe, having lived in both England and France. During her junior year abroad, she studied in France and later resided in the United Kingdom with her family, where they traveled to nearly 20 different countries during school breaks and vacations. Her clients benefit from her ability to incorporate unusual adventures and off-the-beaten-path ideas into their itineraries, thanks to the immersive time she spent living abroad.
As a mother of three boys, Cynthia learned to get creative in maximizing fun and adventure while traveling, all while fostering an appreciation for the culture and history of the places they visited. For example, after exploring 4th-century church caves in Cappadocia, Turkey, her family stayed in their own centuries-old cave accommodations, followed by an unforgettable hot air balloon ride to see the landscape from above. These kinds of unique experiences are the hallmark of Cynthia’s work, as she understands how they can create lasting travel memories for her clients.
As a Signature Travel Expert for France, Cynthia has a strong command of European travel, but her expertise extends far beyond. She has traveled to all seven continents and curated custom trips for her clients to each one.
Cynthia loves crafting itineraries that captivate travelers of all ages and looks forward to the opportunity to work with new clients.
