Although I spent around eight years working as a tour operator specialized in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina, I left the travel industry to attend law school several years ago. Today, I find myself a licensed attorney still studying law in greater depth and yet re-entering the travel industry as a travel agent specialized in high-end travel experiences. So, why go back to the travel industry?
I’ve been traveling for as long as I can remember, and it is something close to my heart. Travel is not just a hobby for me, rather it is a way of life. I have been to well over 50 different countries, as well as considerable portions of the United States, and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. I have been from the Bahamas to Beirut, Illinois to Iraq, and the Carolinas to Korea, and every travel experience has been exciting, enlightening, and entertaining. I have stayed in Presidential Suites at exquisite luxury hotels, and I have bunked with twelve other travelers in basic youth hostels. I have chatted with counterterrorism agents at the back of the plane on an over-crowded flight to Cairo, and I have noshed on caviar in first class on a Lufthansa flight across the Atlantic. All of these adventures and more have taught me not only to love travel for the learning experiences it provides, but also what value for money means in the travel industry worldwide.
I truly enjoy studying and practicing law, and I intend to continue my pursuits in that career path as well, but I love travel, and I want to share my travel knowledge with others so that they might love travel as much as I do.
