About Me

Deb at Leaning Tower of Pisa
Deb at Leaning Tower of Pisa

I've always been something of a wanderer, having moved on a regular basis as a young child. I was lucky to have many national parks as my backyard, giving me opportunities to explore: Zion National Park, Everglades National Park, Shenandoah National Park and Wind Cave National Park.

Although I always expressed an interest in traveling the world, I owe my amazing career, in large part, to my grandfather. This wonderful man loved to travel and, whenever he returned home from a new and exciting destination, he was accompanied by a scrapbook full of stamps, currency and other keepsakes from the country he'd visited.

Eager to follow in his footsteps, I first left the United States as a high school student. I spent an entire summer in France, where I discovered the transformative power of being immersed in a foreign culture.

Given my extensive experience with national parks and international expeditions, my entry into the travel industry was inevitable.

Certified - I became a Certified Travel Consultant with the Institute of Certified Travel Agents (ICTA) over twenty years ago and, since then, have enjoyed helping a variety of clients plan group tours and destination weddings.

ALASKA - I am particularly fond of escorting groups to Alaska, as I've discovered that the beautiful scenery and serene atmosphere can truly foster close bonds between friends, family members and even complete strangers.

RIVER CRUISES - I also enjoy planning trips for those interested in checking out Europe. A river cruise can be truly revitalizing, particularly when it is carefully planned by a knowledgeable travel agent. I have personally been on Uniworld, AmaWaterways, and Avalon Waterways.

COSTA RICA -  I just got back from this lovely place and it is now one of my favorite places on this earth!  So diverse!  Arenal/Volcano area is amazing with lots of different types of tours.  Great place for honeymooners or for people wanting to get away from it all.  Guanacaste area--I stayed in a beautiful VILLA overlooking the Pacific ocean, and can help you in that aspect of travel, as well!

I believe that a vacation is the only purchase you can make that will truly leave you feeling wealthier. Whether you dream of traveling abroad or exploring closer to home, I am eager to help you achieve your travel goals.

Feel free to contact me -- it's time to take the first step towards the journey of a lifetime!

We are seeing the world with Deb's help!
Reviewed By Duey - Lenexa, KS | Traveled to Norway ~ Europe
I have been using Deb Mitchell since before her last name was Mitchell! She has been excellent in everything that I have asked for. She has probably done 15 - 20 cruises for me. I have recommended her to family and friends and they have always been very satisfied with her. Deb knows the travel business extremely well and has offered me many tips that have come in handy.

Deb MItchel - Outstanding, customer service.
Reviewed By Spiderman - Laurie, MO | Traveled to Mediterranean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
We chose to communicate our Southern Mediterranean trip with Deb rather then the cruise line because we had seen from past experiences that Deb would take the role as our advocate rather then an 'order taker' from the cruise line.
There were several instances, primarily regarding our flights where Deb stepped up and supported us.

We LIKE Deb and Cruise Holidays!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Roman ruins in Arles

Active and Discovery on the Rhone River in France

If you have ever wanted to do a river cruise in France, this is THE BEST!!  I absolutely loved the ACTIVE and DISCOVERY cruise, since it had a lot more to offer, as far as tours and you were MORE IMMERSED in towns that you cruise through.  There were so many excursions where you can hike, bike, Spelunk (caving), kayak, paint, and more!!  We star...

Deb on the Grand Canal in Venice

Lake Como, Venice, Florence and Rome August 2005

Another agent in the office and I went to Italy on a land tour trip sponsored by Celebrity Cruises.  Cassie and I flew into Milan, rented a car and drove to Lake Como.  We stayed there for 2 nights and experienced it to the fullest.  The hotel that we stayed in was lovely, right on the lakeshore.  We, also, took a ferry ride to Bellagio and had ...

Costa Rica May 13-18, 2015

Costa Rica is one of my favorite places in Central America/Caribbean. The fact that over a million visitors travel to Costa Rica each year does not happen by chance. Costa Rica is a rugged, rain-forested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific. Though its capital, San Jose, is home to cultural institutions like the ...
