Northern Lights in Norway
I know a lot of the US is covered in snow all winter long and day dreams about a warm Caribbean island to thaw out in...
But I'm from Arizona and I don't have to shovel sunshine! That means I am always game for going to cold destinations! Over the last few years I have done quite a few and if you are ready to put some layers on, I'd love to share my experiences with you and send you there to experience the beauty this world offers!
Tasmania offers some gnarly winters, compared to the rest of the country. Most of the island is protected and in pristine condition. Toss in the best wildlife sanctuary I have ever been to, plus a world renowned museum, and this is a wonderful place to holiday.
Iceland is a magical destination. The island is very different in the winter versus the summer. Depending on the time of year, it is possible to see the Northern Lights, which are a must see! They are fiercely proud of their Icelandic Horses and their hot dogs. Game of Thrones fan? Well, it's possible to see some of the filming locations.
Antarctica is simply the most magical place on the planet. I've never been somewhere that made me feel so small yet so significant at the same time. Plus, you'll never get tired of hanging out with penguins.
Norway is a beautiful cold weather destination. Yes, you should absolutely see the Fjords in the summer when they are beautiful and green, but this country is beautiful and simple in the winter. I have suggestions for things to do all up and down the coast!
Alaska is one of my favorite places on the planet. It is beautiful no matter what time of year you are there, but it's a nice cool place to travel to during US summer months. Wildlife and nature are the biggest reasons to visit Alaska. Whether you want to travel by land or by sea, Alaska has an array of opportunities for anyone looking to see epic number 49.

Best Family Vacation
Reviewed By Lisa - Gilbert, AZ | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
I was trying to plan a trip to Australia on my own thinking I would save money. It was frustrating. I called Sarah and explained what I wanted and my budget. She helped me get everything booked and stayed within budget. Her recommendations were fantastic. She guided us through all steps of international travel.

The best agent I have worked with!
Reviewed By Megan - Mesa, AZ | Traveled to Europe
I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah on many trips. She is an extremely professional agent who is great to work with. She has helped me with overseas vacations multiple times, including New Zealand, a multi country European trip, and even Antartica. She is constantly impressing me with her knowledge of the topics/locations we are discussing. She is available to answer any questions I may have about excursion or seasons to travel, and is willing to offer suggestions based on what we have discussed. I value her opinion and have been very thankful for all that she does. She thinks of everything needed for the perfect vacation, down to transfers (which I always forget about), insurance, currency exchange tips, and places of interest. She is the only person I will book my travel through!

Family Vacation - Cruise to Mexico
Reviewed By Dave K. - Saint Charles, MO | Traveled to Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I have referred Sarah to others and have actually received a call thanking me for referring them to her.
She saved us money over the internet sites and advised us on the important things we wouldn't have known otherwise. We are grateful we found Sarah,and will use her services again on our next trip.
Having Sarah professionally advise us saved time and gave us the confidence to explore areas where we wouldn't have otherwise.
(I wish we traveled more!!!)
Feel free to share this note with anyone.
Thanks again!

Client Testimonials
London, here we come!
My husband and I were toying with the idea of going to London in the fall, but life got busy and we never made the plans. Working with Sarah made it possible and easy in a very short amount of time! I emailed her with possible dates and she quickly responded with quotes for flight and hotel options, so the only work we had to do was pick one of the hotels and if we wanted a non-stop or lay-over flight. Sarah evaluated all of the lay-overs using her knowledge of how to approximate how long it takes to go through customs in various airports; she compared travel insurances for the price vs. coverage and picked the one best for our situation. My only regret is not contacting her immediately when we had the idea - London, here we come!

My Travel Agent
Do you have a personal travel agent? I do! Do you have peace of mind when traveling? I do! When I travel it is for pleasure. Since using the services of my experienced travel agent, my trips have been just that. PLEASURE.
Sure, I have had airport delays. I called Sarah for assistance when this occurred. She instantly had solutions for me. Our son in law booked his honeymoon through Sarah. He said that they would not have changed a thing. My elderly parents have booked several trips through Sarah. They have traveled nationally and internationally through Sarah’s company. All of their accommodations have exceeded their expectations.
I love hearing about her adventures and it has broadened my horizons to the opportunities that I one day hope to experience. She is not afraid of adventure. She has ideas on what kind of adventure would suit you to ensure a positive trip whether it is for business or pleasure. I look forward to scheduling many more adventures with Sarah as my guide.

Takes the time to get to know me
Sarah, at A World of Travel, has been a great asset for all my recent travels. She takes the time to get to know me and what I really want to get out of my trips. She is very knowledgeable and is able to help guide me to make informed decisions about when and where I travel. You can tell that she enjoys her job and helping customers make the most of their vacations. I feel comfort in knowing that she has planned everything perfectly, and that is one of the best gifts you can have while traveling.
