Explore. Dream. Discover.” -

Travel Consultant with The Travel Gallery since 1985
I have always felt that being a travel agent is a ‘thankful job’, unlike so many
jobs which are considered ‘thankless’. Over the years, I have met and worked with
so many wonderful people. Clients who never hesitate to show their appreciation
for what I have done for them. It is very satisfying to know that I have helped someone
accomplish a task they found too difficult or overwhelming to handle. Whether it’s
planning a family reunion cruise for 40 guests or clearing a first-

It has been very rewarding to be part of the management team that developed The Travel Gallery into the dynamic travel agency and successful company that it is today. We are extremely proud to be here serving our clients for over 25 years. My entire career has been in travel.
I started with National Airlines after graduating from college. Travel is in my blood. I love to travel and do so at every opportunity. My two favorite places to visit are Italy and Ireland.

It is really a warm and satisfying feeling to go to work and be able to help someone plan a vacation as if it were your own. There are many variables out there, but as a professional, I can streamline the choices and make it a trip of a lifetime.
I believe travel is the best education which I can share with my husband and three children. There is nothing like it to open your eyes, mind and heart. I feel very fortunate to be able to share my passion for travel with my family, my clients and help create wonderful experiences.

Perhaps the greatest thrill was selling an Around the World Cruise on the QE2. What an exciting adventure. I have always wanted to sell a freighter cruise too, but that hasn’t happened yet. My clients are a joy to work with, no matter where they go or what they do.
I have also had the opportunity to travel around the world, and I have the beautiful memories to share.

Travel Consultant with The Travel Gallery since 1991
I was born in Germany. After my son’s twelfth birthday, we thought the time had come for him to experience some history of his German heritage. After travelling around Germany, we decided to visit the Castle Neuschwanstein. It was a long five hour drive and we had that steep climb ahead to the castle. Finally arriving at the top, we stood there mesmerized at so much beauty. It looked like a fairytale. At that moment, I realized why Disney copied this particular castle for his Magic Kingdom.

Cynthia is our Greek Travel Philosopher: ‘There is something incredibly precious in discovering new lands where the culture leaves us richer and fuller than every before. When in Greece, I see peonies blossom in the cracks of earth as old and ancient as the Acropolis itself.”
Each day brings a new and exciting challenge to our world of travel! The best reward is to know that the trip I created was, by far, the most memorable travel experience to date.

We sailed on the Seabourn Sun in 2000. One of our ports of call was Greenland where
my husband had been stationed during World War II. He was in the Tenth Mountain Division
US Army Ski Troops. We toured this tiny town (where they built a dock just for us

My greatest experience with travel is travelling with my son who is almost grown up now. We started travelling together when he was three weeks old and we haven’t stopped yet. You see things differently when you travel with a child. You see things through their eyes. We went to England and Scotland when he was eight years old and did a Harry Potter tour, and seeing the castles and cathedrals with his enthusiasm made it worthwhile. Our next trip is to Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands. We are looking forward to that this summer. After 31 years in this business, this trip will be a dream fulfilled.

Travel Consultant with The Travel Gallery since 2007
I started in the travel business here in Florida in 1993. Since then, I have moved to three states working at different agencies, and somehow ended up right back where I started my travel career. I enjoy this business because I get to meet people who love to travel like I do. People who love to travel are interesting, active and optimistic about the world. Statistics say that they are happier too! What better work than helping people do something that makes them happy?
Our story would not be complete if we did not mentin our experienced Home Agents: Georgann Lewis, Bettye Aderholdt, Mary Ellen Aumack, Gretta Hudd and Tracy Mach.
Each agent contributed their own comments and as I read them, these words popped out: happiness, fun, friendship, passion, enjoyment, experiences, exciting, interesting, pride, challenges, and memories. And that is the true essence of TRAVEL.
