Catherine Pickering
Destination and Group Travel Specialist
I fell in love with travel after realizing I needed a break from the day to day routine. I started with small trips to cities near me for a quick weekend get away. After going on my first all-inclusive vacation (a cruise) I decided to become a travel agent. Since then, I have been planning vacations for others and myself.
With every trip planned I grow my knowledge and experience. To stay current on travel between bookings I complete certification courses with travel providers, attending seminars and reading travel industry material. Who would have thought I would be going back to school to learn travel. Yes, there is so much to learn about destinations and suppliers to plan the best possible vacations.
Let’s have a conversation to see what destination and activities is best for you if traveling alone, with your family (immediate or extended), a group (company related trips [retreats, team building, training, rewards/incentives], hobby, educational or religious travel).
Let me use my knowledge and experience to help you plan destination reunions, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, retreats, vacations, company incentives and off site training seminars, as well as educational and religious based trips.
