Andy's unexpected tale unfolded while visiting the UK in 2022, where he had a once-in-a-lifetime vacation that could have not been planned. He experienced the pomp and circumstance that surrounds the British Monarchy and the pride of the British people.
Traveling to her mother's homeland of Hungary and walking the route she took to school, was an experience Barbara will never forget.
Brian's career in travel took flight over 30 years ago. He's happy wherever there is golf to be played and a beach to relax on.
One of Cassie's fondest travel memories was flying over the Okovango Delta in Botswana, where she saw all the rivulets of water filling in the Delta, and the animals coming from the surrounding savannah to the Delta -- and it was one of the most glorious sights in the world!
Craig's next chapter will be spent exploring more European countries, now that half of his year is spent living in Italy.
Deana loves to uncover hidden gems of local cultures. She enjoys experiences such as savoring street foods, exploring local markets, or soaking up the sun on local beaches.
Debbie's adventure started over 30 years ago as a tour guide in Alaska. Weave that with her love of sun, sand, and the beach, and her travel passion was created.
Jeremy's visit to Rarotonga Cook Islands was an unforgettable journey. It was small, quaint and when on the beach looking at the reef, it felt like they were the only ones on earth.
Sometimes the best things are unplanned. One of Jessica's favorite journeys was a free day in France, wandering through the countryside with a friend.
Jessica’s favorite journeys include the 3 F’s: family, food, and flip-flops.
Jody has been in the travel industry for 30+ years, and client relationships keep her turning the page year after year.
Julia has a great love of train travel which she got from her Dad. She has traveled across the US three times via train and also in Europe and Japan.
Julie's favorite travel stories include meeting people from different cultures. From the sweet, spirited people of Ireland to the complicated traditions of the people in Saudi Arabia.
Travel has been Karen's passion throughout her life, since starting her career 45+ years ago. It never gets old, there's always something new & exciting waiting for her when she gets off the next flight.
Kelley's tale took place a few years ago, when he decided to jump on a plane in early winter and fly to Northern Italy and train with local chefs. It was his first time to Italy which he expected to be overrated. Boy was he was wrong. From the moment he landed and traveled to his first destination, there was magic. They prepared and ate the most fantastic food, drank too much wine, laughed loudly, sang, and made friendships that will last a lifetime. He left a part of himself there and has been back several times. When he flew home he couldn't contain his joy of the experience and actually cried tears of joy for the beauty that he experienced in traveling there. "They" are right when they say, "travel will change your life". It did just that for him. It turned his "low point" into a jumping off point for a full life of joy and experience.
As Kellie is soon to be an empty nester, her next chapter will be full of new travel adventures. Germany, Portugal and Spain are top of the list.
31 years in the travel business has sharpened Kellie's problem solving skills. Her passion is assisting clients with travel disruptions big and small.
Kelly's legendary chapter was set in Hawaii, where she lived like a local for a month. She says it's a "must-do!"
Kim's favorite travel story involves selling everything she owned and moving with her family across the world (and back)! You haven't lived until you have 10 giant suitcases to get onto a London tube during rush hour!
Lisa loves being active when she travels. From urban hiking to early morning running tours to see the city before everyone else is awake, she's always up to try something new (snowmobiling in Norway anyone?). She wants to really experience the destination and if you get lost you can always find great food on foot.
In Louanne's 44 years in the travel industry, her passion has always been about helping people. She loves sending clients on new adventures in places that she has also enjoyed, like Africa, the Amazon, and Europe.
I've been lucky enough to travel all over the world in my 35 years in this industry, but some of my favorite places are closer to home. Living within a short drive of many National Parks gives so many options for hiking adventures. I love a trip to Europe or Asia, but my heart will always be close to home in the outdoors.
Margaret's favorite travel stories are European adventures filled with local culinary gems.
Margaret is happiest when on the ocean. She has (so far) enjoyed 5 world cruises. Best memory? Diving with great white sharks off the coast of South Africa.
Marilyn loves travel to endangered, unique destinations to see them while they still exist.
Marley is an avid golfer who spends the bulk of her time on the various courses of Pinehurst, NC. Her dream is to visit Ireland and Scotland to soak up its historical golf culture.
On her first trip abroad Maryneil heeded her college professor’s travel advice, "It’s not if you go back but when you go back". This way of thinking about travel has given her the opportunity to explore favorite destinations like Italy, Paris, London, and Switzerland many times over. Just like reading a favorite book again and again she always discovers something new to love.
Maureen's favorite travel story was her first international trip to Switzerland. She loved visiting Basel, a beautiful village that is home to the cuckoo clock. After breakfast they were off to Colmar, France for lunch, and dinner in Germany. Three countries in one day!
Family trips (where no cooking is required) are Olivia's love language.
At the age of 15, Renee's family explored across the country by car. Traveling became a part of her narrative.
Sherri always has a bag half packed ready for exploration or to decompress in front of a blue ocean. She likes to throw in fresh baked brownies at the last minute as one never knows when/what is the next meal.
One of Tamara's favorite travel memories unfolded in Paris for a business trip, where she unknowingly walked into Notre Dame during a ceremony for the 100 year anniversay of the Armistice. Hearing the stories read from the soldiers, seeing men dressed in the uniforms of the time, and hearing the bugle play that had ended the war, all in the beautiful cathedral.
Tara started her adventure with Delta Airlines, and quickly moved to the agency world. She has been here for 25 years strong.
Tina loves visiting places she has read about in books or seen in the movies, especially the big cities of Europe.
