Danielle Tiemessen

Like many people who love to travel, I was introduced at a youngage to the excitement of new destinations. It all began when I was 5years old and my grandmother hosted a large family group on an Alaskacruise. I was enchanted with cruise life, as well as the ruggedlandscape, gorgeous scenery, and spectacular wildlife, Since then, I havereturned to Alaska many times. This intro to travel morphed into apassion that has led me to many European countries, India and 48 states.

I am a Midwesterner – born and raised in Illinois and crossing the Mississippi River to attend college in Iowa to become a Critical Care Paramedic. Eventually I decided to leave the medical field and pursue a career in travel full time. I love that as part of the Virtuoso luxury travel network,I can offer my clients the 5* services of local tour providers around theworld. With these fabulous travel partners I am able to be an expert on allcultures and cuisines! I have found that working with my clients tocurate custom itineraries (for special occasions or no occasion at all) is bothfun and rewarding.
