Travel Agent
I am in my 4th year as a working travel agent. I have a degree in Travel Business Management. I have traveled almost the entire USA & am now working my way outward. My love for travel came from family road trips across the country as a child. My favorite U.S. destinations are the casinos in Las Vegas, NV; Disneyland & Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA, the grand mountain peaks of Colorado & the big city lights of Chicago. My family & I also have season passes to Six Flags because we can't get enough of theme parks with big roller coasters! I have cruised to the white sandy beaches in Cozumel, gorged on jerk chicken & walked through waterfalls in Jamaica & danced & drank MamaJuana with the locals in the Domincan Republic, where I also had the chance to visit 20 different all inclusive resorts! But MEXICO has to be my absolute favorite place in the world. The food, people & beaches make me never want to come home!
This Post-Pandemic era in which we live has not made it easy for those who love to travel. I am here to help anyone with questions about traveling safely during these trying times.
My experience is growing every day as a full-time travel agent. In this business we learn something new each & every day. My favorite part of my job is the chance to research & learn more about exciting new places. I also live for making lasting memories for my clients through travel; just knowing I had a small part in that is enough to make me LOVE MY JOB :)
ALL INCLUSIVE RESORTS I'VE PERSONALLY BEEN TO
Scape Park in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic
Mexico: Riu Palace Costa Mujeres; Iberostar Paraiso Maya, Iberostar Paraiso Lindo, Iberostar Paraiso Beach, Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar; Iberostar Seleccion Cancun; Secrets The Vine; Riu Dunamar
Punta Cana: Dreams Onyx; Breathless; Riu Palace Punta Cana, Riu Palace Bavaro, Riu Bambu, Riu Palace Macao; Riu Republica; Punta Cana Princess; Dreams Dominicus; Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus

Traveling the Texas Eagle
Reviewed By Riding the rails - Walcott-Iowa-USA | Traveled to Austin ~ Texas ~ USA
Becky gets you into see her in a timely fashion. She is cheerful which makes her fun to work with. Becky answers questions thoroughly and if she doesn't know the answer she researches to find out No questions are dumb questions with her. We are train travelers and she calls Amtrak while we are seated with her. I have no desire to wade through that process so it is reassuring to have her do it for us. At our request Becky prints off hard copies for us to take with us. As older folks it acts as a backup to the computer copies. She is very attentive to individual needs. We have traveled Amtrak multiple times and never had a hitch. We highly recommend Becky for your travel needs

Punta Cana made easy!
Reviewed By Doug - Davenport, Iowa | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
This was my first time using a travel agent. In the past I've always avoided them because I felt they were just a middle man not worth the cost. In my mind, what could they do that Google couldn't? Boy was I wrong! The service, knowledge, and attention that Becky provided has shown that is not the case. She was always available for questions and stayed in contact up to our departure to help make sure we understood what was required to travel to Punta Cana. I will always use her service going forward!

Wedding Remix Yall
Reviewed By Tyler Croell - Crown Point IN | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Becky Pogar was a guiding light in a vast pit of darkness that we call the internet. Thankfully she was able to save us from the trivial journey of finding a welcoming vacation. Speaking of saving, the deal she got us was worth every bit of having to make a phone call (which is horrible for millennials).

An Adventure to Remember

Becky did a nice job getting us set up with the trip and then staying in touch to make sure everything was on track. She was attentive to our needs and readily available to answer all of our questions. There were a number of 'curveballs' thrown into the trip - well outside of her control - but Becky was very good about helping us navigate those changes.
