		Fluent languages: English Favorite Destination: New Zealand or Cape Town, South Africa Destination Specialties: Australia, Europe, Round the World Personal Travel Tip: Reach out to friends and acquaintances when you are traveling—everyone loves to show off their hometown and it’s a great way to see things from a local’s perspective. I never leave the country without: Chapstick, my camera, iPod, and my iPhone. Why do I love my job/travel: I love the excitement people express when they’ve just booked a trip. Whether it’s their first time abroad or a long-dreamed about trip, it’s very rewarding to be part of it. The more I travel, the more I want to travel, and the further off-the-beaten-track I want to go. I really love going to foreign grocery stores and trying weird snack foods.

		Fluent languages: English and Texan, y’all Favorite Destination: Laos and Australia Destination Specialties: Southeast Asia, Jordan, Round the World Personal Travel Tip: Ask the locals where to eat! My favorite part of experiencing a new city is eating (and maybe drinking) like a local. I never leave the country without: My aviators, chapstick and a couple of books. Why do I love my job/travel: There's nothing better than helping someone plan something they are excited and passionate about. I learn something new every day about different places all over the world, never a dull moment! And who doesn't love to travel?! I'm always after off the beaten path trips, outdoor adventures and unforgettable views! One thing that also amazed me when I started traveling is the history of places and structures are older than anything you would ever see in the states. I love brushing up on the history of a destination before I go and try to read a good book about the background of a place.

		Fluent languages: English Favorite Destination: Australia/New Zealand (It's a toss-up!) Destination Specialties: Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Round The World Personal Travel Tip: Street food is your (cheaper, tastier, more interesting) friend. I never leave the country without: My iPod, my camera, and my appetite. Why do I love my job/travel: Some of my dearest friends have been made through my travels. Even though we're oceans apart and have changed over the years, we still keep in touch and it's like old times whenever we do get together in person. I love my job because... it lets me live vicariously through everyone's adventures while getting new inspiration for my own!
