Eat Smart Culinary Travel offers culinary tours to the destinations for which they have guidebooks and has in following years expanded to include destinations not yet covered in an Eat Smart guide. Since the inception of the company’s tour business, Susan has worked intimately with destination management companies and tour operators to create luxury culinary and cultural travel experiences for her clients. She and her business partner/mother provide tour leader expertise on all of their tours. They consider Turkey their favorite destination because of its culinary and cultural connections to ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. They currently offer culinary and cultural tours to Croatia, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Morocco, Portugal, Norway, Peru, and Sicily.

Becoming a luxury travel advisor was the natural progression in Susan’s career. Her strong customer service experience, combined with excellent organizational and research skills, allow her to create the ultimate travel experiences for her clients.

Susan prides herself on helping singles, couples, friend groups and families find exactly what they are looking for in their travel needs. She can assist with dietary restrictions or choices and can make special arrangements to accommodate most limited mobility situations.

Beth Skogen Photography is located in Madison, WI and specializes in documentary and family photography, portraits, interiors and birth photography. As a lifestyle photographer, she uses available light to capture—or document—life. The images she takes reflect life as it happens.

Heidi has her pulse on what homeowners (and homeowners-to-be) love about living in the Dane County area. She enjoys working with fun, smart people who share her love for unique homes that are going to work for them now and be re-sellable in the future. When Heidi started Glass Slipper Homes in 2005, her goal was to find the perfect fit for her client, every time. In the 12 years since starting her company, she has devoted herself to this mission. Beyond the sale, she is committed to helping her clients with post-sale vendor recommendations and new homeowner information. Heidi is not only a businesswoman, but she is also a wife and mother. She spends her free time doing pilates, knitting, gardening, writing gluten free recipes, enjoying wine from her deep wine cellar, and most recently, learning to make shoes!
