Europe, considered.
Thoughtful choices for how you experience Europe.
Nearly four decades of returning to Europe, distilled into first-hand stories, recommendations and bespoke itineraries.
Travel begins with choosing well.
There will always be another place to add, another recommendation to save and another experience someone says you shouldn’t miss.
I believe a better trip begins somewhere else: understanding what deserves your time, how long to give it and what will make the experience feel right for you.
Dream Plan Experience brings together first-hand travel, thoughtful planning and years of returning to Europe to help you make those choices with confidence.
How can I help you experience Europe?
I keep going back.
I’m Renee Hannes, founder of Dream Plan Experience.
I first travelled to Europe at 17. Nearly four decades later, I still return, spending months there each year revisiting places I know and discovering new ones.
That accumulated experience shapes what I write, what I recommend and how I plan trips for others.
