Destination Travel Agent Specialist

I am an experienced hospitality professional. Therefore,  I'm excited to translate my passion and enthusiasm for travel into a career as a travel agent planner for Utah’s national parks. The client experience is therefore most important to me. I have traveled extensively throughout the US, which has included a 30 day road trip in the spring of 2021. During this time, I stayed at a mix of campgrounds and hotels.  Also, I have a broad range of interests from theme parks to nature settings to wineries. I enjoy trekking off the beaten path but I also love the cities. Basically, I just love trying new things and making the most out of every trip. Therefore, my background allows me to curate the perfect travel itinerary - one that meets all your travel needs in one of Utah’s spectacular national parks. In Utah, you can find some amazing national parks, including Zion National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Bryce Canyon, the Arches, and the Dark Canyon Wilderness area. If you’re seeking to hike or camp, you will find these wilderness areas much to your liking. For example, I can schedule a trip to Arches National Park, a popular attraction in Utah. The park, which was established on April 12, 1929, is located north of Moab.  The Colorado River borders the park in the southeast. Its name is derived from the 2,000 natural sandstones arches located inside the park, one of which is the red-hued Delicate Arch that guards over the eastern park of the site. The fabled Balanced Rock towers over the arid terrain in the center of the park.  You might also want to plan a visit to Bryce Canyon, which sprawls across Southern Utah. Known for its blush-hued hoodoos (spired rock formations), the main road of the park runs past the Bryce Amphitheater - a hoodoo-filled depression that lies under the park’s Rim Trail hiking path.  Overlooks are found at Bryce Point, Inspiration Point and Sunrise and Sunset points. As you might guess, the prime viewing times are at sunrise and sunset. Located in Monticello, Utah, the Dark Canyon Wilderness area sits in the heart of canyon country in southeast Utah. It is associated with Bears Ears National Monument. The highly steep and narrowing walls, which block the morning and late afternoon sunlight, give the park its surreal and mysterious sounding name.  Another park of note, Zion National Park, is known for its lofty and red-hued cliffs. The Scenic Drive in the park cuts a path through the area’s main section, which takes motorists along forest paths beside the Virgin River.  The river flows into the majestic Emerald Pools, home to a hanging garden and shimmering and sparkling water cascades. Some hikers like to challenge themselves by taking a wading hike, located in the park’s Zion Narrows. As your travel agent professional for Utah’s national parks, I can personalize your adventure and travel itinerary. For example, do you like kitschy, historic hotels or is modern more your speed? Are you up for mountain climbing and zip-lining, or would you rather sip coffee or wine on a front porch?  Either way (or both) and everything in between, I'm here to help. It's your own unique travel experience. Call me today and I'll get you there anytime of the year you wish to get away.

California Wine Country Travel Agent Expert

California Wine Country Travel Agent Expert

<p>  I savor being California’s wine country travel agent professional for the state has gained a reputation of wine-making that is next to none. Not only is the region revered, but it allows you to learn more about how the Golden State has influenced the art of winemaking over time. Indeed, the history spans back a long time - to the early eighteenth century. That is when Spanish missionaries carried vines from their European home and planted them for wine production and communion. A variety of grape, the mission grape, grew abundantly until about 1880. While southern California was a hub for wine through the first half of the nineteenth century. Gold Rush settlers headed north (from 1848 to 1885) to famous wine-making areas, such as Sonoma and the Napa Valley. Prohibition almost caused the industry to fold; however, a glitch in the law at the time permitted winemaking at home. After  a legal loophole was repealed, the University of California’s Viticulture and Enology program worked at restoring the damaged industry. In 1976, California wines received praise for their vintages when competing against famous French wines. From that time, the industry has flourished. The state, as of May 2019, boasts 139 American Viticultural Areas or AVAs. Grapes are grown from the Temecula Valley in the south to Shasta in the north.  Under the law, California wines must contain only grapes grown in the state. If an “AVA'' name is tagged on a label, at least 85% of the grapes must originate from an AVA area. In California, over 100 varieties of grapes are grown, with the number expanding. Chardonnay is the most popular wine with Cabernet Sauvignon coming in second.  Grapes, indigenous to other countries, such as Spain’s Albarino, wine, Portugal’s delectable Touriga  Nacional, and Italian Barbera, are scattered through California wine country vineyards. Vineyards of Zinfandel, the U.S. heritage grape, contain vines--some over a century old. As the largest maker of U.S. wine, California logged 4,282 thousands tons of wine in 2018. Most of the wine was made of red grapes, or 2,448 thousand tons of the fruit, while 1,834 grapes were used to produce white wines.  In addition, California has the most wineries nationwide - just over 4,500. Oregon and Washington also have wineries, but to a much lesser degree - around 800 wineries. Because California has a vast array of vineyards and wineries, it has created a haven for anyone who wishes to retreat to this serene and lovely area. Wine country offers the visitor an abundance of bed-and-breakfasts, luxury resort locations, and spas that pamper and rejuvenate. If you’re a wine lover, I insist you take  a look at the holiday offerings in this beautiful region. You can take part in wine tastings and other rewarding epicurean activities. Restaurants offer unique dining experiences that feature seasonal cuisine. Moreover, the surrounding area comprises the highest volume of three-star Michelin restaurants in the country. You will love California’s wine country once you get a taste of it. Call me or email me about planning the ideal wine country vacation. I look forward to serving as your travel agent and advisor.</p>

Rebecca is passionate about travel and wine. Our trip included tasting in two California wine regions, including Sonoma Wine Country and Livermore Valley. She’s a super nice person that you can easily work with. I fully recommend her to future travelers.

Rebecca helped me plan the perfect family vacation. She was attentive and available whenever I had questions and I definitely recommend her to help plan your trip.
H.Bernard - California ~ USA
Rebecca helped me prepare the details of my trip which I was planning somewhat at the last minute while running my business and being a mom, and it was so nice to have someone research and handle details for me when I didn’t have the time. She also was there on call during my trip and helped me reschedule travel when we missed a connection overseas. After getting home, I was having a very difficult time reaching the travel insurance company to make a claim and she made sure that she opened the claim for me and waited on hold hours with the company to make sure I could recoup some funds. <br/>Rebbe a is kind and attentive and I’d definitely recommend her!
