 I have been a travel consultant for 20 years and still love it! My travels have taken me all over the world with the highlights being Turkey, China and the Cook Islands.
I specialize in group travel, but also love to work with individual travel and pride myself on friendly and efficient service, with attention being paid to every detail.I love a challenge, so no request is too difficult.
Building strong, long term relationships with my clients is of utmost importance, and I work very hard to achieve this. Call me, I would love to help you with your dream vacation! One of the ways I can be most effective for my clients is to constantly educate myself about the travel products that we sell. So far this year I have visited the Mayan Riviera and inspected many hotel properties. In April I had a fabulous trip to Chile and Argentina which included site inspections of many of the local vineyards. A gruelling task but Hey, someone has to do it.
