General Info

With 20 years working as a travel agent and trip designer in the USA and 10 years in tourism and developing business partnerships internationally within the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa and Asia; I understand the business well. I have developed good business relationships with many good vendors and suppliers not only in the United States, but internationally as well, especially in Europe. I have friendships with the best guides, taxi drivers, Bed and Breakfast's, wineries, hotel managers, bicycle rental shops; you name it. They don't just work with me; they know me! Because I haven't just `visited ' like most agents, I have lived there! With a diverse background as this, I can easily think outside of the box and my customized itineraries tailored to your personal preferences and dreams are creative and fun. I am affiliated with TravelStore that was established in 1975 and has been under the same management since its inception.
