Patricia Wood

A six-week high school trip to Europe sparked my life-long passion for travel. Fascinated by foreign countries and cultures, I studied French and Italian at universities in Canada and France, then pursued a 30-year career in international public relations. Over the decades, I have visited more than 65 countries for business or pleasure, earning the nickname, “Passport Pat.”

Since 2017, I have put my trip-planning expertise and excitement about exploring the world to work for diverse clients – singles, couples and multi-generation families – who are eager to fulfill their own wanderlust. My clients have driven the Scottish highlands; descended into King Tut’s tomb; sipped wine in Tuscany, Puglia and Paris; cruised the Alaskan, Spanish and Irish coasts; lazed on beaches in Hawaii and the Caribbean; and tracked Komodo dragons in Indonesia.

My clients benefit from the in-depth research and attention to detail that I have long dedicated to designing my own overseas adventures. If you are an independent traveler, I will chart a day-to-day itinerary for sight-seeing or simply relaxing, then select hotels that suit your style. If you prefer cruising or escorted tours, I will recommend the options that best match your vision of a perfect vacation.

Tell me what you have in mind for your leisure travel, and I will provide you with customized, personal service that results in amazing experiences and maximizes the value of your travel dollar. My specialty is your vacation, wherever you want it to be.

Backed by Montecito Village Travel’s stellar supplier relationships and Virtuoso’s portfolio of special amenities, I will transform your vision of a dream vacation into a reality and help your create memories that last a lifetime.
