About me

Hi,

My name is Patty.  With over 20 years of experience working in the travel industry, I’ve gained a comprehensive knowledge to provide my clients with the best travel options.

Being self-employed and aligned with Travel Managers enables me to offer a truly personal service that is tailored to my clients.

I enjoy turning people’s travel dreams into reality, with dedication in making worldwide travel arrangements as convenient and as flexible as possible. I offer you a friendly one stop shop for all your travel needs. I pride myself on exemplary service and total professionalism.

 

Where I've Travelled

Highlight in Asia: Seeing the Great Wall of China – breath taking, never ending, majestic, regal are some of the words to describe this Best Man-made Wonder in the World

Highlight in Europe: Italy is always a highlight!   However, I’m biased.   It’s my heritage.

Highlight in Americas: Swimming with the whale sharks off the coast of Cancun.   So out of my comfort zone!
