About Me

Pitons in St. Lucia
Pitons in St. Lucia

I have been in the travel business since 2004 and started in this business for a number of reasons:

1) I love to help other people
2) I love to travel
3) I wanted to raise money for charity 

During my time in the industry I have:

  • taken many cruises on a number of different lines in order to experience the differences
  • visited a number of all-inclusive resorts in different countries to have a better appreciation of what each has to offer
  • completed the training from numerous suppliers and earned a number of certifications demonstrating my knowledge of the product

All of this has helped me to achieve all three goals!!

In fact, I allow my clients to select which charity will receive the donation that results from their booking.

The two charities I support the most are Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, and Shih-Tzu and Furbaby Rescue, which are two dog rescue groups for which my wife and I provide foster care for. We have helped save well over 200 dogs during the last 15 years.

I look forward to working with you to plan a memorable vacation where you can have fun and know that you are helping a worthy cause at the same time.

He booked our Scotland Trip and It was a blast!
Reviewed By Nischit - Laurel, MD | Traveled to
My buddies and I always wanted to to go Scotland. So, one evening I emailed Steve to book the trip for the from July 3rd - 10th, 2016. He asked what we wanted to do, where we wanted to stay. I told him I had no idea, and for him to take care of it. He did just that: he booked the 5-day Highland Tour with Rabbie's and our hotel accommodations, including our transfers. He had never booked a Scotland trip for anyone prior, and this was his first. He came back a couple days later with all the info, and I told him to go ahead and book. Well, here I am after and we had the best time ever! The 5-day Highland Tour was fun, the hotel stays were great, and we never had to worry about anything. I'm always going to use Steve for all my bookings.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Cruising through World Ports with Steve M.
Reviewed By SCB - Scarborough, ME | Traveled to Norway ~ Europe
I've known Steve Mencik for many years, both as a travel agent and from a professional working relationship with a Federal Government agency. He's always been a great person to coordinate our vacations with and he's been doing travel work with us for over 20 years. He's very thorough and not hesitant in working travel arrangements with a variety of travel resources. He has always researched every option available to get us the best accommodations, the best perks and the best discounts available for each and every trip. In 2017, we moved from Maryland to Maine, yet we continue to use his expertise in scheduling our major vacations. He's that good. Since we've started with Steve, we've cruised to Alaska three times, Hawaii, the British Isles, and Norway-Iceland. We're currently working with him on a 15-day Scotland-Ireland rail excursion for 2025. All have been successful.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A very relaxing vacation
Reviewed By Steve K - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Caribbean
Steve was very helpful in helping select the right cruise line, itinerary, and ship for what I was looking for, which was a relaxing vacation. I think his advice helped me avoid a few mistakes that I otherwise would have made. He was also always willing to answer the questions that I had.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
