Hello, My Name is Emily Carnes, Owner/Agent of Grand Escape Travel. I've always loved to travel, my passion began as a little girl, and in my teens I got to experience my first "out of country" travel, that is where I say " I got bit by the travel bug" now, I can't get enough!! My husband and I travel as much as we can, having two little ones now, it isn't as easy to get away but we still try to go as often as possible. A couple of years ago, I started having people/friends and friends of friends through social media asking my advice about their vacations. They would see my travel pictures and want to know all about it. After a couple of years of answering all of these questions over and over my husband finally talked me into becoming a travel agent....and I LOVE it. I find it just as exciting and fun to plan someone else's vacation as I do my own! What is it they say, "it isn't work if you love what you do" I find this to be so very true for me! I love being apart of every step in the planning process with my clients, and I absolutely love receiving their pictures while they are away, and most of all love getting their thank you letters when they return. I love that I can share my passion for travel with everyone!
