Agent Specializing in Colombia

With over 31 years of experience in the travel industry, I continue to find new and innovative ways of preparing the best vacations for my clients! I have three passport books filled with stamps, and I want to check out each destination before sending my clients there. I understand the importance of traveling, and I always do my best to prepare an excellent trip!

I grew up loving aviation and wished to be a pilot, but I eventually caught the travel bug and have not stopped since. With over 6 million miles flown, I’ve been able to satisfy my love for aviation and travel throughout the years! With years of experience in multiple continents, I am an expert in:

  •     Hawaii
  •     Colombia
  •     Mexico
  •     Thailand
  •     The Americas (Central/South)
  •     Europe
  •     The Caribbean
  •     Tahiti
  •     And more!

My clients all have different expectations for their trips, and my goal is to provide the best options for their needs. This includes luxury cruises in Europe, all-inclusive stays in Mexico & Caribbean, and multi-destination journeys throughout the Americas.

One of the most unique trips I’ve booked was for a woman wishing to take dance lessons in Argentina. She had a very tight schedule, but I was able to plan everything to accommodate her wishes. It was tough, but she came back loving every moment of her trip!

Booking a trip requires a keen sense of planning, and my attention to detail allows me to prepare itineraries that fit each person’s needs. I know how to get the most out of your trip, and I will remove the stress and uncertainty that comes with booking on your own.

I have booked for families, groups, honeymoons, and destination weddings. I am always excited to research and explore new places, and together, we will create a vacation beyond your wildest dreams. Talk with me today to begin booking your next trip!

I had the most amazing time in Hawaii thanks to Arik. All I had to do was tell him where I wanted to go, when I wanted to go, and my budget. He took care of everything else!!! Definitely took the stress of travel off of my hands. Best trip I've ever been on. I highly recommend this place. I can't express how thankful I am for arik!
