An amazing 1:1 consult

I would like to thank Cate Brubaker for an amazing 1:1 consult to assist me with planning our family trip to Germany this summer. Prior to our meeting, I browsed the videos and detailed information on the Germany Travel Planner, and used the planning spreadsheet to make a list of cities, towns and sights we were potentially interested in exploring. […] I am thrilled to have found this page – and Cate and Aaron’s Germany Travel Planner – to create our dream vacation to Germany in a few months. Don’t hesitate to book some time with Cate – it is well worth it!
– Dawn | Zoom Consult

Super excited

I had a Zoom meeting with Cate, and it was incredible! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience-from the interactive map of hotels/dining/experiences to the great photos, ideas, and advice. I am even more excited for my trip than I was before our meeting. I feel organized vs anxious/prepared vs guessing and know how to make the most of our time in Germany. […] My whole family is super excited for Alpine Slides & Spaghetti ice cream! Thanks for a great service Cate!
Thanks again, you were so fun to talk to and I feel so much better! ❤️
