Travel Agent: Emily Balo

With over 19 years of experience as a travel agent, I combine deep industry knowledge with a genuine passion for helping others explore the world. Whether you're planning an enchanting river cruise, a multi-generational family vacation, or a solo adventure, I’m here to help you travel with confidence—and maybe even a fresh perspective.

I’ve traveled extensively through Italy, Switzerland, Amsterdam, Egypt, Croatia, Hawaii, Alaska, and more. I’ve cruised the Rhine from Basel to Amsterdam, explored Croatia on a guided journey with my family, and experienced the magic of Alaska and the Caribbean from the sea.

Some of my favorite experiences include exploring the Adriatic coast, feeling at peace in Croatia’s small seaside towns, and discovering hidden gems like the Malahat Skywalk in British Columbia or the stunning Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. I especially love river cruising—there’s nothing like seeing Europe from the water, moving through countries in comfort and style.

Whether you're dreaming of an unforgettable journey abroad or a one-of-a-kind experience closer to home, I take pride in approaching travel planning with creativity and helping members make meaningful connections with the places they visit.
