Experience: 46 Years in the Travel Industry • 8 Years with Bursch Travel
Travel Specialties: Ireland • African Safaris • Customized International Travel
Meet Maggie
With 46 years in the travel industry, Maggie brings an exceptional depth of experience to helping clients plan vacations around the world.
Ireland and African safaris are two areas she knows especially well. Maggie has traveled to Ireland five times and explored 26 counties across Ireland and Northern Ireland, giving her extensive firsthand knowledge to draw on when helping clients experience the destination for themselves.
Africa is another of Maggie’s great travel passions. She has experienced three safaris, traveling in Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa, and some of her favorite travel memories have come from her time on safari.
After more than four decades in the industry, Maggie understands both the excitement of planning a major trip and the importance of getting the details right. She uses that experience to help travelers navigate their options and plan vacations with confidence.
Best For: Ireland vacations, African safaris, customized international travel, and travelers looking for extensive professional travel experience.
Get to Know Maggie
What Does Maggie Never Travel Without? Her iPad. It once proved invaluable when a major windstorm disrupted flights in Atlanta and she was able to remotely arrange new flights for herself and her sister.
What’s On Maggie’s Bucket List? Machu Picchu, a safari to Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta, Iceland, and anywhere she can see the Northern Lights.
A Favorite Foodie Find? Le Soufflé in Paris. Maggie has eaten there three times during two visits to Paris and says the chocolate soufflé is a must.
Top Travel Tip: When traveling as a couple, divide some of each person’s clothing between both suitcases. If one bag is delayed, you’ll still have a change of clothes. Maggie also recommends keeping a photo of your passport information page in case your passport is ever lost or stolen.
