Sue Picken, an independent agent with Nexion, LLC, a Travel Leaders Network Affiliate Agency
Specializing in Africa, Europe,Caribbean,Americas
Following a Classical Civilization & History of Art Degree, a travel course launched my career with Sabena Belgian Airlines followed by the role of Reservations Agent and Tour Leader for Thompson Tours (the largest tour operator in South Africa). Having lived in South Africa for 20 years and with many trips back from the USA, I have travelled extensively throughout Africa. My passion for travel have added many other destinations to my repertoire including Europe, the Caribbean, Central America and US National Parks. As a sailor, scuba diver, hiker, and cyclist I love arranging active trips as well as locally immersive and bespoke itineraries to delve deep into a local culture. With strong attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills, I love arranging group travel (celebration and corporate trips), but also enjoy planning special honeymoons, anniversaries, and multi-generational family trips with a seamless, customized, and memorable experience!
