Travel Tips To Live By

Testimonials, top notch partner.

Advantage International have impeccable attention to travel details. They offer only the best to their clients and partnership with them in the past 3 years hasn’t disappointed during my role as President for South African Tourism in the Americas. Bangu Masisi

Excellent African-American Travel Programs

First of all, I am a very picky traveler. When I travel I expect luxury accommodations, and adventures as well. Advantage International, gives me all of that, and then some. I have traveled to Africa, Italy, Panama, Switzerland, Cuba, and Greece with A.I., and I have never been disappointed with my experience or accommodations. The best part about traveling with A.I. Is, once you book and pay, you can relax and enjoy, everything else is covered by Gene & JaVonne. The added bonus is, when you travel with A.I. You become part of this big traveling family, where everyone gets along and looks out for one another. A.I. always takes time to educate and inform you about your destination BEFORE you travel, and you have several opportunities to ask questions and concerns BEFORE you travel. I am looking forward to Dubai with A.I. In October! Temeka Strange

Great company

Extremely professional and detailed orientated company. Have worked with them for over 15 years without any issues or surprises. Cannot think of anyone better to create the travel events of your dreams! Jim Watkins, GM WHUR Radio

Amazing Customer Service

Awesome trips and amazing customer service. You can’t go wrong using Advantage International! Barry Macon, Director, marketing and Partnerships, TV-One

Platinum-Level Care

I didn’t expect group travel to be so much fun or for such a large group to bond so well. One of our tour mates lost her passport. Remarkably, another had a frat brother at the consulate in Cape Town who remedied her situation in no time flat. Ja’Vonne routed our buses by the consulate to pick her up as we began our day—and to everyone’s delight, we didn’t miss a beat. That’s platinum-level care!

Like part of a large travel family…

“I am so extremely happy that I bravely took this trip without any of my friends. I met so many wonderful people and you designed the trip so thoroughly that I felt like I was part of a large travel family. I look forward to expanding my travel events with Advantage International.”

A Wonderful Trip to South Africa!

“Many, many thanks for a wonderful trip to South Africa. We have traveled many places and none could come close to the way this trip was for all. We look forward to other trips.”

Extraordinary!

“The level of travel that you do is extraordinary.  I’ve traveled with you for 13 years. I’ve traveled with other people and it has never been better than traveling with Advantage International.”

Small touches were most memorable…

“Through the years I have used different companies for client trips to various destinations around the world, but Advantage International was unique in the sense that the small touches you provide to each trip were the most memorable.”

Thoughtful planning…

“Thank you for all the awesome experiences we have enjoyed due to your thoughtful planning and personal attention to every detail that continues to make each trip an experience that we truly enjoy.”

Molly Ringwald says ‘predators’ took ‘advantage of’ her as young actress in Hollywood

• View Author Archive

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Like many young starlets, Molly Ringwald was preyed upon as she was coming up in Hollywood.

The “Breakfast Club” star, now 56, shared on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast Monday that she was shy when she was younger, and so she didn’t go out clubbing much or insert herself into the celeb scene.

“Well, you’re lucky you didn’t get taken advantage of or got into some sort of horrible situation,” host Marc Maron said in response, which prompted Ringwald to rebut, “Oh, I was taken advantage of.”

“You can’t be a young actress in Hollywood and … not have predators around,” the “Sixteen Candles” star explained. “But I wasn’t raped by Harvey Weinstein , so, I’m grateful for that.”

Ringwald did not give further details about who allegedly took advantage of her and what exactly occurred, but she has spoken out about her experiences in the past.

The “Pretty in Pink” star wrote an essay for the New Yorker in 2016, which she told Maron, 60, was meant to show that Weinstein, 72, was “not the only one.”

In the article titled “All the Other Harvey Weinsteins,” Ringwald penned, “When I was thirteen, a fifty-year-old crew member told me that he would teach me to dance, and then proceeded to push against me with an erection.”

She continued, “When I was fourteen, a married film director stuck his tongue in my mouth on set.”

Want celebrity news as it breaks? Hooked on Housewives?

Ringwald wrote that at a time when she was still coming to terms with her own sexuality, “at every turn some older guy tried to help speed up the process.”

“And all this went on despite my having very protective parents who did their best to shield me,” she added. “I shudder to think of what would have happened had I not had them.”

The Brat Pack member told Maron that her daughter Mathilda Ereni Gianopoulos is now trying to break into the entertainment industry despite her trying to convince the 20-year-old not to, noting, “It’s hard.”

Ringwald explained that in spite of what she went through, she figured out a way to “protect” herself as a young woman.

“I was definitely in questionable situations,” she admitted, “but I do have an incredible survival instinct, and a pretty big super-ego and kind of managed to sort of figure out a way to protect myself.”

The actress recognized, however, “It can be harrowing.”

Tours and Travel Explorations – 5 Reasons Why Travelling Will Change Your Life

T here is no more incredible feeling than having your bags packed and knowing you’re ready to go on your next adventure. Few things in life will impact you as much as travelling will. When we board a plane in one country and land in another, something happens to us – it’s almost as if our eyes open again for the first time. The excitement and life experiences that occur when you travel are unlike anything else. It’s hard to capture in words the moment when you see the sunset behind the Colosseum in Rome or when you finally can understand what someone is saying in another language. These moments are transformative; they take us out of our element and remind us why we are here.

Here are five reasons why travelling will change your life:

1. You broaden your perspective. 2. You learn to live in the moment. 3. You value experience over things. 4. You learn to roll with things. 5. You are more open to different ways of life.
