We do the planning for you

 My passion for travel really began many years ago when I was in college. I was fortunate enough to experience two study abroad programs. My first year I headed off to Cali, Columbia to spend a semester; the following year I found myself in the wonderful city of London. What a fabulous learning and growing experience! I came home from both adventures with more than a suitcase full of memories and pockets loaded with funny stories. I’ve often said that I learned more in those two semesters than in any other time in my life. Fresh out of school with a social work degree and no job prospects, I decided to continue my quest to “conquer” the world. What better way to do that than to become a travel advisor, which is what I did. With every intention of someday finding a position in my field of study, I thought this would be great fun in the meantime. That was almost forty years ago, and honestly, I’ve never looked back! I have been so fortunate to have had many “trips of a lifetime.” From trekking in the Himalayas, to cross country skiing near the Arctic Circle, to snorkeling in the Caribbean, my passion for travel has led the way. I have watched the sun rise over the temples of Angkor Watt in Cambodia and the sun set over ancient Etruscan walls in Tuscany. I’ve sipped wine in Parisian cafés and tea in Istanbul’s Spice Market. I’ve barged in Burgundy, been on safari in Africa, and climbed the ruins of Machu Picchu. Each destination was captivating, and all were made up of the most wonderful people and cultures. Although my quest is not over, now as an independent travel advisor my desire is to put that firsthand knowledge to work for those who likewise relish all that traveling has to offer. When I decided to strike out on my own in 2007, I chose to partner with Travel Experts, a host travel agency also located in Raleigh. One of the most important benefits of our partnership is having direct access to Virtuoso, the industry’s leading network for leisure travel. As an affiliate to a Virtuoso member, I can tap into exclusive products, services, and worldwide contacts that allow me to offer my clients a higher level of travel experiences. As a Virtuoso traveler, you are recognized as one of the most prestigious guests in the world! So now that you know a little bit about me, let me learn about you and what type of travel experience you are looking for. The opportunities are truly endless so let’s design that perfect journey together. –Becky
