Virgin Voyages Vitamin Sea deck

Hello, My name is Samantha Ritchie and I am happy to be here as a consultant for your travelling needs.  I would like to get you started on experiencing the best time of your life! Travelling is priceless and there is no better time than now to start.

I began my travel career over 20 years ago.  My first memories of travel come from visiting western Europe.  Spain, Italy, Switzerland and France gave me the first glimpse of what my future would hold, but even before then I knew I would explore the far corners of the world.

I became a Certified Travel Agent after graduating from McConnell travel school in 1994.  A few years later I received my BOA at Northern Arizona University in International Relations, with a minor in Asian Studies.  

I have lived, studied and traveled in Asia.  I have also had my adventures in Europe and the Middle East, but Asia is where I made my home for almost a decade. 

A few of my homes have been Japan, Taiwan,  Jakarta, Indonesia, Bali  and China.  When I had free time I traveled to Thailand, Okinawa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam.   I really enjoyed getting to know the natives of each country.  I ate street food, shopped the night markets and tried my best to live as a local.  I enjoy soft and hard adventure,  ethnic food and languages which is probably why I have such a travel bug.  I love experiencing what the world has to offer and I  hold some of the most memorable adventures of my life in Asia and the Middle East. Culture which includes language, food, religion and music, amongst a few others, have been my passion!  

I am an experienced destination specialist.  I have lived, worked and travelled throughout Asia and have travelled to the Middle East numerous time, as well as many other countries. I graduated from McConnell Travel School with a certificate in Travel & Tourism and a degree in International Relations with an emphasis on Asian studies.

Here's the kicker! I specialize in adventures to Denmark and voyages with Virgin Voyages only.  Why? You may be asking.  Well, because most people serious about travelling go to places off the beaten path or are already well traveled. This is where "authentic" travel happens and I provide authentic, experiential journeys that are unique to Denmark and I believe Virgin Voyages is the only cruise line out there doing something different. 

*  Virgin Voyages: Relaxed Luxury and Groups

    Adult by Design, Relaxed Luxury experience, Vitamin Sea: Yoga, Bungee,                Fitness, Wellness Spa, Gym & Tonic, Made to order meals!  It's a Voyage not a        cruise!  

*  Denmark - It's cold. Windy too. And it's dark in the winter. But you know what?      We still think it's one of the greatest destinations on the planet

I work with trusted suppliers that are in-country and know the ins and outs, so you'll get the most unique and satisfying experience possible and because I have first-hand experience in these destinations, I can offer invaluable information that might have go amiss elsewhere. Myself and my suppliers promote sustainable travel and well-being, so future travelers will also be able to enjoy these destination’s wonders.

I'll engage as much as needed in order to find out your true travel passions and desires. I’m not looking for a sale. I’m looking to build relationships, so you'll remain loyal and refer active newcomers to Indo Bleu Travel. In addition, I will be your advocate before, during and after you return from your journey.

My destination expertise makes me a great resource for you. I understand if you have never traveled overseas to a far away country where people don't speak the same language; however,  I can provide professional guidance and safety.  I can also assist in making your vacation seamless, efficient and worth your time and money.

 To get started give me a call or send me an email.

Trip Development Fee allows me the knowledge that you will book with me and I will be your dedicated Travel Agent for your vacation.

$100/person and signed travel agreement.

Keep Traveling!
