To all my wonderful existing clients and to the new clients that I am looking forward in meeting and planning your travel. I want to tell you a little bit about myself:
First of all I consider my self a "LIFER", in this Industry, as it has been my career since 1976! Hard to believe I know, as I only look only 39...
I remember wanting to be a flight attendant and to work for Wardair. For those of you who remember, this airline was instrumental in the start of the Charter Carrier Service that we all know today through airlines such as Sunwing, Transat, etc.
Well, I was newly married and in those days, my husband wasn't keen about me jetting off to work, so my friend was hired by our local Travel Agency in Burnaby and she spoke to her manager. They gave me an opportunity to try the travel industry, and I thought I won the jackpot.
That was 40 years ago.
I have seen so many changes in 40 years, from a few fare types for pricing, to now fares with so many rules and conditions, it makes your head swim. I saw the first airline computer called the RESERVAC, and now all bookings are done by computers! The internet, the technology and affordability has made travel opportunities for everyone. It's so great to see families travel, and I wish the children would know how lucky they are, as my family trips were to Regina, Saskatchewan, and oh yeah, car trips. I know, don't envy me!
I have had the pleasure of working at various Travel Agencies over the years, and have gained more knowledge, and travel experiences from each one, that I share with my clients. Each office was invaluable in helping me grow as an Agent.
I can go on and on about all the places I have been, and don't really want to bore you, but China stands out; seeing the Terra Cotta Soldiers, the Great Wall and meeting the fabulous group of travellers that came with me. Another stand out is the river cruise along the Seine in France, to Normandy. It was amazing, my husband and I sipped wine as we cruised past the landscape of France, enjoying the new travellers we had just met.
I have been on numerous cruises and cruise lines. I have been to almost everywhere in the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii. Europe is always my standout as the history amazes me. Still, I have destinations that I dream about and I have a bucket list. Do you?
As everyone has stuff in their lives over the years, my stuff was to balance my family and career better. The reason I mention that, is because I was blessed with my third child Danielle, who is 28 and she has Down Syndrome. She is in a day program amongst other adult special needs adults, but when she gets home, I need to be here for her. We all have to do what matters in our lives, and she has a big hold on my heart as I am her advocate and her care giver for as long as I am capable.
Flight Centre Independent offered me that balance; to customize my own unique work schedule, while still serving my clients. To give Danielle a big hug when she walks through the door after her day program, and for her to know she is safe and loved. Flight Centre Independent allows me that, and with all our stuff in our lives, this is priceless!
Flight Centre is a company that I am proud to be a part of. Flight Centre has given me the flexibility that I need to maintain a balance of my career and family. My career has enriched my life with travel memories and clients that I consider dear friends.
Please contact me as I would love to make your Travel Dreams come true!
