My Story Begins on the Banks of the Moselle River I grew up in Trier, Germany's oldest city, where 2,000-year-old Roman stones still line the streets, and the Moselle River winds slowly past slate-steep vineyards. In autumn, the world's steepest vineyards turn gold, the air smells of crushed Riesling grapes, and the river glows copper at sunset. I watched every season bring new faces. Tourists crossed the Römerbrücke, the old Roman bridge, cameras in hand and eyes wide. They stood beneath the Porta Nigra and lingered over coffee in the market square. As a youngster, I noticed the wonder on their faces. They explored centuries of history with childlike excitement, and couples savored every moment, hand in hand, eyes bright with delight. That's where my love of travel began. My mission is to make sure my guests have the same experience. You Don't Pay More. You Get More. Certified by seventeen cruise lines and tour operators, from Viking and Tauck to Silversea and Ponant, I'm not tied to any one brand. That means honest, side-by-side comparisons and recommendations built around how you travel, not what I'm obligated to sell. Same price as booking direct, sometimes lower. What you gain: expert guidance, agency-exclusive promotions, and one person in your corner from planning to homecoming. Inside One of the World's Leading River Cruise Lines Years inside AmaWaterways taught me how cruise lines really work. Now that insight is yours: which upgrades are worth it, which departures sell out first, and promotions you won't find on your own. Why I Went Independent I walked away from sales quotas and a transaction-driven culture to do this the right way: honestly, thoughtfully, and with you at the center of every recommendation. A website can sell you a trip. I help you choose the right one. Frequently Asked Questions Does it cost more to use a travel advisor? No. Cruise lines and tour operators pay advisor commissions, so your price is exactly the same as booking direct. Do you only work with Raleigh clients? Not at all. I'm based in Raleigh and work with many clients in Charlotte and across North Carolina, but I plan trips for travelers nationwide by phone and email. Your Journey Starts With a Conversation You've pictured it already. Sunset on the river. Ancient ruins in morning light. A vineyard at harvest. Let's make it happen. 📞 919.914.9038 · ✉️ danny.stahl@avoyanetwork.com

Kevin Stahl was born and raised in Texas, the son of parents who immigrated from Germany — a heritage that gave him an early, lived-in connection to Europe most travelers only discover later in life. What began as family visits back to Germany turned into a lifelong habit: over the years, Kevin has traveled extensively throughout Europe, building a genuine feel for the continent rather than a postcard's version of it. That firsthand experience is what Kevin brings to Danny's Adventures, where he works as a Travel Consultant based in San Antonio, Texas, alongside his brother-in-law, Danny Stahl. Whether it's a river cruise, an ocean voyage, or a guided journey overland, Kevin plans trips the way he was raised to travel — unhurried, curious, and interested in the places in between. For Kevin, travel has never been a checklist. It's a return to something familiar, passed down from parents who crossed an ocean and never lost their love of home.
