Why do I love being a Travel Consultant?

I love to travel, learn about other cultures and share my knowledge with others. Being a Travel Consultant allows me to do that. It’s very rewarding to help my clients plan and make their travel dreams a reality! It’s also great to see pictures and hear about their great experiences when they return.

My top travel picks.

I’ve been fortunate to travel to a lot of places so far and can’t wait to see more of the world. Every country is unique, rich in history and culture and offers beautiful scenery with endless sights to explore. Europe is one of my favorite destinations. Here are more of my all-time favorites.

Auckland, New Zealand
Amalfi Coast, Italy
Kruger, South Africa

1 / 3

Auckland.

New Zealand

If you’re going to visit one, you must see the other while you’re in that part of the world. There are so many amazing sites and experiences! The Sydney Opera House and getting to hold on to a koala bear were only a couple of the highlights of my experience in Australia. Learning about the Maori culture and heritage in New Zealand is fascinating. Both have incredible scenery and landscapes. Australia and New Zealand are fantastic.

Insider tip: Visit Kangaroo Island to see koalas, sea lions and of course, kangaroos! You can also enjoy some exquisite natural settings, local wines and great food.

Amalfi Coast.

Italy

I did a Mediterranean cruise that visited many ports in Italy and I had a fantastic time! Rome, Venice and Tuscany are amazing and the Amalfi Coast is particularly wonderful. Take in the sights of this beautiful coast by taking a scenic boat cruise. It’s the best way to see it and explore the town of Amalfi itself. The food is to die for and the people are incredibly warm and friendly.

Insider tip: Make sure to charge your phone or your camera as there are breathtaking views everywhere you look!

Kruger.

South Africa

I love South Africa and believe you will too. Enjoy the many experiences and deep history. Explore Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula. Of course, the safaris are beautiful and awe inspiring, with many game drives offering up-close views of wildlife, including the big five: lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants and Cape buffalo. It’s the experience of a lifetime!

Insider tip: Visit Kruger National Park. It’s one of the largest game reserves in the country and the natural setting and diverse array of wildlife are truly stunning.
