Years at Bursch Travel: 23
Travel specialties: Destination weddings, Disney and Mexico/Caribbean.
What do you do for fun when not traveling: I love watching my two kids play their sports, spending time at our cabin, and camping.
Travel bucket list: Ireland, Norway, Iceland
Favorite location: Lately it's become Alaska due to its natural beauty.
Strangest travel request: I had a Wiccan Witch come in and ask for a tour to London. She wanted to see Stonehenge and asked for a tour on a broomstick. I had to tell her that I couldn't sell her that tour because what if the broomstick doesn't fly? She said, "Why wouldn't it fly?"
Years at Bursch Travel: 5 years
What did you do before Bursch Travel? I worked as an accounting assistant for many years. Although I'm new to the travel industry, I'm not new to travel. I love visiting Mexico, soaking in the beautiful weather, relaxing on the white sand beaches, and exchanging travel stories with the new people I've met along the way.
Travel bucket list: Alaska, Hawaii and a river cruise!
Something you don't know about me: I'm a member of The Women of Today. I also enjoy card making, scrapbooking, plants and, above all, spending time with my grandkids.
What are your travel related specialties: Customized European itineraries, river cruises, Hawaii, Costa Rica, all-inclusive, adventure travel, and luxury travel.
What do you do for fun when you're not traveling? I love spending time with my pug, Lou, and volunteer at the Angel of Hope Animal Rescue. I also run (1 marathon, and 7 half marathons so far!) snowboard, kayak, read, and cook.
What destinations are on your travel bucket list? Peru/Machu Picchu is my absolutely #1. Isreal, Nepal, and Africa are also high on that list.
What's your favorite destination and why? It changes all the time for many different reasons. I love theme parks like Disney and Universal because it's like stepping into an imaginary world that you can't get anywhere else. I also love NYC during the holidays.
Share something fun about yourself that most people wouldn't know? I lived on a sail boat in Greece one summer during undergrad while studying abroad.
