BIO:

I am a Virtuoso travel advisor based in Scottsdale, AZ, where I have been planning travel for 27 years. Before I became a travel advisor, my background was in technology.

I am a cruise specialist and personally love taking cruises around the world. Cruising lets you visit many different destinations, but you only have to unpack once.

I have visited around 25 countries. My favorite destinations include Euro, Alaska, South Pacific and US.

What I love most about cruising is convenient and different options.

Some of my favorite cruise itineraries are Alaska, Baltic and Hawaii. If you’re a first-time cruiser, I recommend you take a cruise to Alaska, Caribbean.

The cruise lines I love the most include RSSC, Crystal and Silversea.

I recommend spending extra time in the port cities of Stockholm, London and Paris before or after your cruises.

My clients would say I am detailed oriented, experience, knowledgeable and well organized from beginning to the end.

I am specialties on family travel, culinary & wine, destinations and special occasions.

I will host one Virtuoso Voyages sailings in June on 2018 for Alaska sailing.

I am a Pace Setter, I love to help clients’ travel dreams become a reality. As a Virtuoso travel advisor, I have access to our global network of hotels, tour operators, cruise lines, private guides, and more to create personalized, customized trips for you. If you book through me, I can access Virtuoso exclusive experiences, such as private shore excursions or behind-the-scenes tours, plus lots of hotel perks, such as room upgrades, spa and dining credits, and free breakfast. I look forward to hearing from you!

BIO:

A proud Hoosier by birth but with a hunger for bigger adventures, Lindsi headed west from her home state of Indiana to attend UCLA, where she earned a degree in women’s studies. She went on to work for the agents of athletes Shaquille O’Neal and Oscar De La Hoya. But having failed to discover her inner Jerry Maguire, she decided to move on. During subsequent stints in the dot.com world, the music industry and then back in sports, she built a fiercely strong network.

After heading to NYC, Lindsi’s desire to develop her own niche inspired her to launch Insider in 2003. Loyal, savvy and ultracompetitive (she never takes “no” for an answer), she excels at finding resourceful ways to make things happen with style and ease. Outside of work, Lindsi is often mistaken for a dog walker — must have something to do with trotting her and her husband’s three dogs around town …

Email: Mary@BlackhawkVacations.com

BIO:

I started traveling abroad when I was 15 years old, spending two weeks in Italy with a school group. I was absolutely hooked! I loved seeing a new place and figuring out how to get around with a language I did not know. In college I spent a semester in London, which again ignited my passion for travel and exploring.

Since my school days, I have made it a point to visit new places and see the beauty of the world as often as I can. I think it is so important as humans to learn how other people live, what other people eat, and what different cultures look like. My husband and I just spent 3 years living in Italy and that afforded me the ability to see more than I ever have before. In total, I have visited 26 countries around the world, on 4 different continents.

Some of my favorite experiences have been riding horses in Dingle, Ireland, and then going to a pub to enjoy a pint and play cards with my husband. I love being outside and being active on vacation, but look for space in each day to relax and absorb the new culture I am experiencing. If a Safari is on your bucket list, I can help there too. Having spent time in Tanzania, seeing big game animals in the wild is an experience I can’t wait to have again. And don’t forget that relaxation – after a few days viewing animals, I can help you plan some time on the tropical island of Zanzibar to swim in the crystal clear water, enjoy fresh fruit and see what Hakuna Matata is really all about.

BIO:

I began traveling the world at a young age- my mother worked in travel her whole life and made it her mission to show my sister and I as much of the world as possible.

After years of working in the entertainment industry and working with a travel advisor on my own travels, I decided to make a change and start planning vacations and unique experiences for my friends and family that were always envious of the trips I took.

I am now a full-time travel advisor with the primary goal of helping others realize their own travel dreams.

I step out of my comfort zone and take in the whole experience. I look for the less “touristy” routes at some places, but still realize they are a “must-do” at others. Mostly what I take with me from a destination, is a new prospective on looking at things, thus a new prospective on life. That to me is growth.

I believe we start as travelers, then we become storytellers! We all have a story to tell and I’m here to help you create the most amazing travel stories.

For me – my passion to discover the world, started when I first saw a picture of Venice that my aunt had in her house and I dreamed on visiting Italy for many years.

I was 14 years old when my family and I moved to Toronto, Canada and I lived there for a year. This was the first time I realized I wanted to experience not only Italy but the world. I lived in Greece as an au pair and now I live in the beautiful state of Colorado.

I have been in the Luxury Travel Industry since 2014 and found that my true passion to experience the world can be shared with other people who want to do the same. I found so much joy designing memorable travel experiences that you come back with incredible stories to tell.

Dear Fellow Travelers,

I fell in love with travel long, long ago, when as a young girl, I rode my bicycle from one end of the small town I lived in all the way to the other end! I was amazed at how different the town looked & how different the people lived, & how different the people were, & how different I was when I returned.

I was mystified with seeing new scenery, meeting new people, & learning new information. I love travel for the gifts it bestows on all of us. I believe travel gifts us with wisdom, with kindness, with compassion, with history, with fun & relaxation, with renewed love of our families, our old friends, & our new friends. I believe it is the gift that keeps on giving.

Recently, I was invited to become a student of a Virtuoso Travel planning program that is a very innovative concept called Wanderlist. I was immediately intriguied with Wanderlist, which offers travelers who are quite serious about making their travel dreams, their family’s travel dreams, & their friends’ travel dreams the opportunity to become a reality by coupling long term travel planning expertise with extraordinary worldy knowledge and industry connectivity to arrange their travel in a way that will allow them to recieve the most out of their travel experiences. I now can marry my many years of expertise with my clients’ strong desires to experience their top picks in the world & to be certain that they will enjoy them! I am proud to share that I am now a certified Virtuoso Wanderlist Specialist, at your service! All enquiries are welcome!

And so, it is all my pleasure to add all of the knowledge & passion I have gained in my 25 years of arranging travel, to arrange it with you. I would love to help make your travel dreams come true and I look forward to relishing the stories that I know you will bring home to me.

Sincerely yours,

Pat

I am originally from Wyoming but fell in love with travel on a school trip to Spain. I had never been on a plane before and it was all so incredible and new. From there I studied abroad in Costa Rica during University and fell in love with the people and the biodiversity that captures the hearts of so many visitors.

After college I moved back to Costa Rica and ended up living there for over 8 years in a small beach town. I started working in travel while there and was fortunate to spend tons of time in Central and South America as well as the UK and Europe since my job was always online and flexible.

In 1988 I started by escorting a fitness cruise, after that I was hooked. Working for Cruise Holidays in Tucson for a number of years, then retired for 16 years to raise my children.

Returned travel in 2010, and have loved every day!

I like to interview clients from the start to learn about likes and dislikes. This helps in planning a fabulous trip. Picturing myself on your trip, going step-by-step helps to ensure all of the details are taken care of.

Multi-generational and group travel are two of my very favorites to plan. Families traveling together is a wonderful experience, and I enjoy the ins and outs of the details.

Africa is perhaps my favorite destination to travel to, and plan trips for!

My clients become friends, and that perhaps, is the best benefit of all!

Through an interest in space tourism and entrepreneurship, I stumbled into the travel industry. A love and appreciation of travel, and the opportunity to help incredible people gain additional perspective in their lives has kept me here.

My company is SpaceToTravel, which is about both finding the space to travel in your lives, and the crossroads of travel and space that we find ourselves in this modern day and age.

As a certified Wanderlist Specialist, I specialize in helping you find a higher perspective on your life through travel, whether that’s exploring a unique cultural destination like Japan, relaxing on the beach and enjoying the view in the South Pacific, or who knows – maybe even someday looking down at the Earth from space and enjoying the highest view.
