Travel is my passion and it will continue to be so, when I book a trip for a client it is not just helping someone to set-up a vacation or a business trip, I get involved in taking the journey with them through the booking process. My objective is to help my clients in Building Memories Through Travel, as travel is not about airplanes, car rentals , hotels etc. Travel is all about the memories you bring back with you.

My message to the new generation entering this dynamic industry is; Become a travel agent, only if you have the love to travel and meet people of all demographics, enjoy and embrace different cultures and take that passion and apply it to your daily duties, have an inquiring mind and be open to learn new things and accept changes inevitably and convert the threatening perception of changes into opportunity.
