Laurie Valdez
I have been privileged to be in a career I love for more than 25years and fulfilling clients travel dreams. My passion is creating the perfect trip for my client. I specialize in foreign independent travel, creating a personalized travel experience, adding the extra component that will make my client’s trip the unique and memorable journey they envision. I have experience working with private jet companies and yacht charters for clients. My personal relationships with hotel managers allow me access to that special room with a view in the perfect location. I am an accredited Certified Travel Consultant (CTC) with the Travel Institute. I have also studied and passed intensive Destination Specialty courses for France, Britain, Scotland, Spain, Portugal and Italy. I also completed destination courses for travel for Mexico , Peru , Turkey, and Ireland to name a few others. I have worked with the Spanish Tourist Board, as I was selected Leading Business Development member for promoting travel to Spain in 2007. I personally love a vacation that has sightseeing with cultural and culinary experiences included and those unique visits that make the trip intensely memorable.

Royal Caribbean

Recommended - The dealing with Laurie made it so easy and understood everything we need to do for our first cruise. It went so smoothly and loved we got everything we needed mailed to us. Can't say enough how helpful she was. We would recommend her to everyone and we will definitely use her again for our next trip.
