Hi, I'm Nora. I grew up in the travel agency business and had the opportunity to travel to many places with my family while growing up. I started working in an agency in 1994 and truly enjoy the experience of helping people plan travel. I also working on marketing for the agency, finding ways to market great values to the public is an enjoyable part of my career.
I've traveled all over the world, and although it's hard to pick my favorites, my journeys always bring out the travel bug in me. I love exploring the United States and places like Florida, Arizona, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Colorado, Alaska, and New Orleans are a few of my favorite US travel spots. I've also headed south to the Caribbean, exploring Jamaica, Bahamas, and the US Virgin Islands. I've hit the sand in Mexico in places like the Riviera Maya, Cancun, and Puerto Vallarta. And I've traveled across the ocean to England, Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, Turkey, Poland, and Paris. And let's not forget cruising, what a way to vacation. I’ve been on 10 cruises now with cruise lines such as Princess, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian, and Regent Seven Seas. Cruising is a great way to visit new destinations and I’ve seen Alaska, the Mediterranean, New England, and the Caribbean aboard these beautiful ships.
With 15 years of experience selling travel and on-going training on destinations, resorts and travel styles, I am very knowledgeable and helpful in organizing vacation travel. And as a self-proclaimed "Spa Junkie", I understand the needs and desires of travelers looking for the stress reduction, pampering and relaxation of a spa vacation.
