I have been in the travel industry for only a few months now, but I've been traveling my whole life, and I can say I love it! It makes me happy and is something I could do for the rest of my life. I specialize in tropical vacations. You should choose me as your travel agent because I am well-organized, goal-oriented, determined , and I really hate mistakes. I strongly believe in giving back what you want to receive, so it only makes sense for me to book your trip the way I would expect someone to book mine .
I truly believe everyone should take at least one trip a year because, for one, there is just so much to explore; for two, it's a way to have a good time and experience something new; and for three, it is peaceful and a way to get away. Growing up in a small city with not much to see , I believe in being able to get out, away , and experience new things. I'm the type of person who doesn't like feeling stuck in one spot, so I'm always down for a little getaway, even if it's a road trip to the next city . I really like to travel and help others travel because of the peace it can bring me and others. For example , every time I feel lost , mad, confused, or have a cloudy mind, I instantly just want to grab my book, get away, and kick my feet up in some sand on a warm, sunny beach . However , it can become stressful trying to plan the trip, but when you have a travel agent like me, it'll rid you of all the stress and negativity, making you much happier. You know they say people who travel live longer than those who don't travel.
I would say I'm focused on tropical and scenic travel because we were gifted this beauty; why not explore and view the warm, rainy tropical places? Another reason I enjoy traveling and booking tropical trips is because of one of the trips I've recently taken . I've only ever been out of the country just once, and it was a cruise to Turks and the Dominican Republic. I would recommend this trip for a single ladies' trip because when I tell you the men are a sight for sore eyes, they are like no other, and there's nothing better than a good view. That also includes the views in Turks; I've never seen water so blue. It was like looking at the sky from above and below. My favorite thing about the trip was, of course, the scenery, but also the people there-they are so sweet and nice, and the beaches (the sand is oddly soft). Another thing that made me want to come back was how strong the drinks are. I wasn't even able to enjoy the beauty for long because I was drunk and back on the boat asleep by 2:00, so be very careful with the drinks; you might have too much of a good time.I would say my least favorite part of the trip was one of my excursions, which was snorkel-ing . I expected a tank on my back and to be able to see the fish, but I only got to see the reefs and almost drowned because I decided to snorkel with the professional floater. Full disclaimer: that was my first time ever snorkel-ing. I would just recommend, if it's your first time, to use the easier to float.. I almost got caught in the current, but I would have given my life to go on this trip and experience almost drowning all over again.
The Dominican Republic was also a great time. I got to swim with dolphins and experience a whole bunch of different types of animals. I also received a tour, and the facts they gave were very interesting and intriguing. My tour guide had a big personality and kept us entertained. My experiences in tropical and beach places are hard to keep up with. I've been to so many different places that I wouldn't be able to count how many I've visited , like I've been to Florida over five times, and each time I went somewhere different . My favorite part of Florida is obviously Orlando , and it's clearly my favorite because of Universal Resorts. This was a family trip with my mom and her husband's family. We had the time of our lives; there are so many different things to do and see there. I would definitely recommend the Simpson's roller coaster, the Transformers attractions , and the Harry Potter area It was just a whole lot of fun to the point where my brain can't even process how much fun I had, nor can I keep up with it.
I also love cabin trips and recommend Gatlin-burg , TN, if you are considering going anywhere with a cabin. A lot of people are scared of cabins because of bears, but I can tell you now that out of all the cabin trips I've been on, I've never spotted a bear, and I was actually trying because I live life on the edge, and I love new experiences and seeing things raw.Overall, I'm truly an open and kind-hearted person who is full of life and wants to make others' dreams come true. No matter what, I always like to see the best in situations and make the best out of them. I'm big on communication and relationships; I care for my clients just like family, and I hope to build more honest and trustworthy relationships.
