Shopping The World by Waterways & Land

What do travelers want to bring home from their holidays and vacations? “Things” Tangible memories that serve as treasured reminders of our travel experiences. This can include an array of unique items - fashion, food, jewelry, home décor, art, crafts, books, music, and more.

As the Port of Call Shopper, I travel the world by oceans, rivers, canals, and by land, in search of creative, fashionable, delicious, and indigenous Things found in historic seaports and picturesque waterfront towns. I meet artisans in their studios and workshops, visit unique galleries, and explore intriguing retail shops to showcase the best in local craftsmanship and cultural creativity.

Don’t get me wrong, experiences can be much more valuable than just Things. That’s why, in addition to sharing my unique shopping discoveries, I also share my cruising experiences aboard a variety of vessels, including ocean liners, riverboats, private yachts, and canal boats.

Join me on these remarkable journeys as I shop for authentic Things handcrafted by talented local artisans, craftspeople, and designers around the world.
