CAROL FOGERTY
Luxury Travel Advisor
LOCATION:
Scottsdale, AZ
Growing up in a small Midwestern town, Carol Fogerty was first introduced to travel through friends in college on a European Study Tour to Paris, London, and Brussels. The trip was truly a life changing experience and her interest in travel prevailed. Changing her major to Hotel, Restaurant Management & Tourism, a new world was revealed, and she embraced every opportunity to study, travel, and explore this newfound passion.
Fortunate to meet her husband in college who shared the same interests in travel and hospitality, they began to travel as much as they could. Together, they embraced every chance to wander through a new destination, experience the unique culture, local cuisine, architecture and history.
Living in the Netherlands for two years and traveling to many off the beaten track, lesser-known places and hidden gems throughout Europe, they were able to pass the love of travel and exploration onto their two boys at a very young age. Being fully immersed in a destination and its culture is enriching, life changing, and creates beautiful memories.
Having explored over 45 countries and all seven continents, and paired with her career working in the luxury hotel space, Carol has built a great understanding of the travel industry. Some favorite destinations that she returns to often include Italy, France, Spain, Australia and our amazing US National Parks, mountain resorts, and beach towns.
Carol loves to create and experience journeys that are transformative and truly memorable.

BEST GIFT I EVER RECEIVED
My family
MOST INCREDIBLE TRIP I EVER PLANNED
I had always dreamed of going to Lake Como. When the opportunity presented itself ~ that our boys could join us in Italy with their beautiful partners ~ the planning began. It was the first trip all six of us would be together! The amazing food, wine, stunning villas, and exploring the picturesque towns with breathtaking views were captivating. The highlight of the trip was our private lake cruise on a vintage boat. The weather was perfect. Enjoying prosecco, some beautiful cheese, the spectacular scenery, but most of all our time together was truly magical. This remains one of my favorite experiences to suggest to clients and is always a highlight of their travels.
THE PERSON I LOOK UP TO MOST
My Husband. He is my rock. My best friend. He supports me in all I do. He is the most positive and uplifting person and the love of my life.
