BIO:

I inherited my love of travel from my dad, a freighter captain who saw the world by sea. I love to explore new places and find little-known gems — from that hole in the wall restaurant with the amazing chef’s menu to the secret restroom with no line, tucked away in a dusty corner of a museum. As a Corporate Event Planner, I’ve spent 20 years curating and crafting experiences for groups of all shapes and sizes, and my work informed family travel with our two kids and vice versa. I love to put together customized itineraries with just the right mix of exciting adventures and comfortable retreats for each person on the trip — big or small.

Famventure lets me share with you the “secret” lists my friends ask me for when they’re visiting a new place. I’m excited to help families experience the world and find their own gems — seeding wanderlust for a new generation.

BIO:

I started my lifelong love of traveling at the mere age of 9, with my first flight (that I could remember!) to visit family in Las Vegas when it was going through the “family friendly” phase. Las Vegas’s “family friendly” phase may have passed, but my love of travel sure did not! Having taken myself on many vacations on my own, starting at the age of 14, I now include my family along with me, and I’ve shared my love of travel with them! My favorite place to go is Europe, but when the Washington winters hit, the only place I want to be is somewhere warm, tropical and with a beach!

I specialize in European vacations, Hawaii and the South Pacific, cruises, and destination weddings and honeymoons. My number one priority is you, and to help you achieve the exact vacation you dreamed about! I look forward to working with you!

BIO:

Hi, and welcome! I’m Holly, and I would love to help you plan your next getaway. My love of travel planning was evident from an early age. My parents love to recount the story of my first trip to Disney World when I was four years old. Every night at our hotel, I would take out a map of the theme park and plan our itinerary for the following day, making sure we hit all the best stops, and every day I would lead the way throughout the park, map in hand. Years later I started my travel blog, The Hollyday, and began receiving requests from friends, family and readers to help them plan their trips, which lead me to pursue a career as a luxury travel advisor. The fact that I’m now making a career out of travel planning doesn’t surprise anyone!

The world is your oyster. With the resources and research I have at my fingertips as a luxury travel advisor, I can book experiences for you anywhere in the world, though I have specialized knowledge of the Caribbean and a love affair with Europe.

I have traveled throughout all stages of life. From family travel growing up as a kid, to adventure travel spending a summer studying culinary arts in Italy, to now traveling as an adult (often solo!), I believe that travel is and should be a part of life. Whether you are traveling with your family, for your honeymoon, or wanting an enriching adventure, I will help you design the trip of a lifetime. Our world has so much to offer… why not enjoy it while we’re here?

BIO:

I design and plan experiences for the discerning traveler who seeks out immersive vacations through countless cultures, 197 countries of exploration, 80 different cuisines and 40 wine varietals around the globe.

Having spent time in over 27 countries since my early 20s, my travels have broadened my perspective in more ways than I ever imagined. I used to think I belonged in a small town, then I started traveling and realized that my knowledge was limited to only where I had been. Sue Fitzmaurice said “You must go on adventures to find out where you belong” and after having traveled 260,000 miles I wholeheartedly agree; for a short time, you can experience life in someone else’s shoes, learn new languages, taste new spices, hear new sounds.

BIO:

I grew up in cold-dreary Buffalo, NY. 20 minutes from Niagara Falls.

After high school I went to college in Tampa, FL. It was a welcome change of scenery from Buffalo. It had everything I loved: Ocean, Beaches & Palm Trees.

After college I moved to LA to work in the world of television. LA was an adventure, always something to do. I was there 5 years before my friends and family convinced me to move to Denver.

I’ve been in Denver for 6 years and have loved every minute of it. I enjoy the mountains, the city, the people and the food. While it doesn’t have the beach and palm trees, it makes my heart happy in so many different ways.

I have a passion for travel and experiencing new places. The excitement of booking and planning a trip is sometimes more fun than actually going!

I consider myself a well rounded traveler; I enjoy a mix of relaxation and adventure.

BIO:

I’m an Arizona native with a lifelong passion for language and culture. My first overseas trip was as a Student Ambassador to Sweden, Finland, and Russia. I fell in love with every aspect of new cultural discoveries and adventure!

The first lesson of travel I was taught was that most times, things will not go according to plan and how you deal with changes can make or break a trip. That logic has served me well over the years in my personal travels and it serves my clients very well now in my profession.

I am resourceful, creative, and adept in my approach to travel planning, making flexibility a priority. I like to say that my greatest value as an Advisor is not in when everything goes right but in when things go sideways and I get you back on track.

My specialties are over-the-top, private-guided, exclusive experiences. I love designing multi-generational family trips, honeymoons, and first-time soloist outings. While I haven’t met a destination I don’t like, my personal favorites are all of Scandinavia (especially Denmark!), France, Italy and Africa.

I blame my parents. They got me hooked on travel from a very young age…

…starting with family trips to the US National Parks. Those trips were followed by forays to Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond. In total, I have visited 52 countries on 6 continents, and 50 states. #50by50!

I like to focus on the natural landscape of each location as well as the food, people, and culture. I am intrigued by the opportunity to identify each location’s defining characteristics and then discovering the differences and similarities among the various locales. I love the research and planning almost as much as the trip itself!

After a family trip to Europe in high school followed by studying abroad in Germany and Spain, I was officially hooked on the idea that travel transforms and inspires.

Upon graduation at NC State University, I backpacked Europe before joining the “real world” in the wine business. After a successful stint representing global brands, I gave in to my wanderlust and spent a year journeying through the ancient lands of China, Tibet, SE Asia, and the Pacific.

This experience propelled me into following my passion and working in the top travel firms in NYC. When family and friends called me back to North Carolina, I partnered with Coastline Travel and founded Cagle Travel with the mission to serve a discerning and curious clientele who share my same passion for experiencing the world in a unique way.

When Im not scoping out new thrills, I can be found enjoying a good glass of wine and the company of my golden retriever.

BIO:

Travel has been a passion of mine for most of my life. My stepmother, a successful Travel Advisor, immersed me in travel as a child and it has been a passion of mine ever since. I studied abroad in Florence, Italy, when I was a student at Georgia College and State University. On that trip, I was able to soak in the culture and experience Italy like a local. On the weekends, I jumped on trains to explore the country. After my studies in Florence, I explored more of the Mediterranean onboard a luxury cruise ship.

When I graduated with a degree in Exercise Science in 2017, I began a career as an exercise and nutrition professional. However, my love of travel (and my stepmother Susan) inspired me to transition to a career as a professional Travel Advisor! It felt like a natural move for me because I am always looking forward to the next trip I have planned. Whether it’s sipping red wine in Italy or exploring the jungles of Costa Rica, I am constantly inspired by travel, and I hope to share that inspiration with my clients. When I’m not traveling, I love weightlifting, hiking with my Australian Shepard Kingsley, and sharing time with family and friends.

My love for travel is rooted in my love of meeting people, which is why I am always excited to connect with a new client. The best part of being an advisor is that it allows me to bring my clients’ dreams to life. Traveling can change a person’s perspective, and it is my aim to help make that happen for my clients, one experience at a time. I want to provide my clients with luxury experiences that are carefree, unique, and reflected on with a smile. Luxury is not about the price but about the customer service and quality, and I work hard to make sure my clients are satisfied at every turn.

Hi, I am Karen Dell. I love to travel and help other discover their love of travel.

My first international trip landed me in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland where I began to fall in love with the idea of seeing the world and learning to be a better global citizen.

Fast forward to my honeymoon with David ten years ago. We cruised from Puerto Rico to stop at six different Caribbean islands in seven days. We were smitten! There is nothing like enjoying your favorite morning cup of coffee with a beautiful island or gorgeous mountaintop as the backdrop.

Since then, we have visited almost every island in the Caribbean, had a bucket list trip through Alaska and have a European vacation on the calendar.

Know that when you choose us to manage your next vacation, we work with you beginning with our quick discovery call to understand your vacation vision. And we provide quality customer service with care for every detail from vision to vacation and beyond.

BIO:

My love for travel started when I was very young. My father was stationed in Germany where he met my mother. After they were married, they continued to live in Germany while he served in the Army. I was born in Germany so traveling between Germany and the U.S. often to visit family was the norm for us. Exploring became the natural next step for us as my parents enjoyed traveling too.

I have visited many places within the United States and abroad and shared my love of travel with my children. While we travelled domestically when they were younger, our international travel started with middle school trips. It was a great way to spend time with them while exposing them to different cultures and history. We always learned how to say several standard words and phrases in the local language. They enjoyed practicing their new skills with the locals. All three of them like to travel too.

While sharing my love of travel through owning and operating my own travel company has always been my objective, I haven’t always worked solely in the travel industry. For almost two decades I was in the pharmaceutical industry. I enjoyed being part of a group that helped patients. Booking international travel was a big part of my role and it made me realize that I wanted to do that as a career. Finding the best travel experiences became a passion for me. I was always excited when my colleagues sought me out for advice their travel and how to make the most of it.

Sharing my travel experience with you so that you can realize your own adventures is a dream come true.

In my experience, the word “travel” evolves to take on different meanings at different stages of a person’s life. At times it is adventurous, at others a necessity and perhaps at others, life moment expanding experiences. I am passionate about helping my clients have the most memorable experiences possible, no matter what “travel” may mean to them and at every stage and chapter in their life.

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, my roots span the globe. I have a great appreciation for Eastern European culture and continue to stay connected to my familial heritage. Traveling across the world to arrive in the United States as a child, was the biggest trip I have taken, filled with adventure and possibility. I have traveled throughout Europe, Mexico, and virtually every state in the United States as the country I call home has some of the most amazing things to see and experience. Along with helping my clients, I plan on making many other memories of my own through continued exploration travel here in the United States and abroad.

I’m here to be the best resource possible for my clients who desire to experience something new or return to a destination they feel is like a second home!

I enjoy the complexity of arranging one of a kind vacations for my clients. Your vacation experience with me does not end when you book your trip. It is about the journey and anticipation of pre-travel. When you learn more about where you are going, what you can do there, the foods and drinks. Then the day of travel when you actually arrive. Does it meet your expectations? If not I am here for you! Then when you return home. I truly do want to hear back from you. What was memorable, what was not. All of these things do matter to me. This is why I have become certified in the Wanderlist program so that we are able to help you plan all of your one of kind journey for every milestone and anything in between.

Travel has changed so much since I first started in 1980. Agents were the knowledge for travelers when you wanted to go on vacation. This is the one constant that has remained in our industry. We are here to assist you in having a memorable journey through the years.

A bit about my travel career. I started my career by going to travel school in Chicago. Once completed my first position was with Concorde Travel in Palatine. I then expanded out and I was not only an agent but also taught the airline computer at a travel school. Throughout my career, I have worked corporate travel, vacation & family travel, incentive travel, destination weddings, and corporate meeting planning.

When I am not arranging travel I enjoy spending time with my daughter Lauren and son Luke our 2 Dachshunds (Leo & Indy), birds, and turtles. I also enjoy great food, wine, coffee, and sewing.

BIO:

Hi! My name is Kimberly Wilson and I’m so blessed to be here to write this in 2022! I love people and I love to help people. I am what you would caIl an optimist! I grew up on the east coast in a suburban town named Media, Pa, 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia. I spent every summer at the Jersey Shore in a house by the beach and I fell in love with the beach at the age of around 8 years old! My Mom and Dad loved to travel and my Dad loved to take pictures of everywhere they went. They traveled to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Madrid, London, Ghana, Johannesburg, Haiti and many other places. Unfortunately I got to live vicariously through my Dad’s pictures who was an excellent photographer by the way! That was enough for me to realize I wanted to travel and see the world!!! Now I am a wife and a mother of two beautiful souls. I have several step children and grand children and I have two precious grandsons who make my heart smile every day! I’ve worked in Sales/Account Management and Sales Management my entire career and that is how I realized how much I truly do love helping people. Sales gets such a bad rap, but I have been blessed to connect with so many people over the years from different places and different backgrounds that are still great friends of mine today. For years I wondered what is my calling in life? How can I serve? I finally figured it out about 12 years ago while working in the Travel Industry. I absolutely loved hearing stories and seeing picture of my clients travel adventures. Their extreme loyalty and gratitude for my services made me realize my calling is delivering a customer experience that is second to none. This BIG, BEAUTIFUL and WONDERFUL WORLD is here for us to explore and admire, and my desire is to deliver you the ultimate vacation experience, one you will never forget! If you allow me to help you plan your dream vacation, that is exactly what I will do for YOU!
