What inspired you to become a travel agent?  I’ve always had a love for traveling and exploring new places. I have traveled extensively through Europe and have also been to New Zealand and Australia. I have sailed on many cruises, traveled to the Caribbean and Mexico, honeymooned in Bora Bora and traveled within the United States as well. I found myself helping family and friends plan vacations, and decided to start my own travel agency. And so began Ambren Travel in 2012!

Where did you come up with the name "Ambren Travel”? My children’s names are Amelia & Brendan, thus, "Am-Bren" Travel.

What are your favorite trips to plan?I really enjoy putting together land and cruise packages and custom itineraries. I love working with clients that aren’t sure exactly what they want to do or don’t know how to put all the elements together seamlessly. I listen to what clients want out of a vacation; how they like to travel, what type of atmosphere they prefer, and what they like to do. I take this information and present initial choices, and then we tweak from there to create the perfect itinerary.

What are your favorite places to travel? My husband and I started traveling with our children when they were babies. We have taken them to Turks & Caicos, Hawaii, New York City, trips to Disney World & Disneyland, Alaska, domestic getaways, they have been on over a dozen cruises, and so far they have been to five countries in Europe! Out of all of my travels, New Zealand probably captured my heart the most, but I love Europe and go as often as I can, and I have also fallen in love with Alaska!
