Brenda Thomas

Brenda caught the travel bug at a young age. Raised in Pennsylvania, she has fond memories of family vacations to the Jersey Shore, camping trips to Canada, and road trips up and down the U.S. East Coast.

Brenda’s love of travel has taken her to more than 30 countries on five continents and to 42 of the United States. She equally enjoys big cities, mountains, and beaches and is an avid supporter of our National Park System. Some of her favorite cities are Prague, Cusco, Ljubljana, and New Orleans.

Brenda adores live theatre and strives to make a yearly pilgrimage to The Big Apple. Her favorite plays are Picnic and The Elephant Man and favorite musicals are Hedwig and the Angry Inch, American Idiot, Kinky Boots, and Cabaret.

Brenda resides in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. She enjoys attending concerts, plays, and musicals, visiting museums, local wine tasting, and discovering the off-the-beaten path things to do around Southern California. When not traveling Brenda enjoys spending time with her husband, two adult children, and four cats.
