Surinda Smith

Professional travel advisor.

I have a passion for traveling! As I'm coming home from a destination, I often find myself thinking, "Where can I go next?" I truly enjoy visiting new destinations with my friends and family. I've been fortunate to have traveled to various parts of the United States as well as the Caribbean (Antigua, St. Kitts, Anguilla, and St. Eustatius to name a few).

I have been a Professional Travel Agent since 2020. The most rewarding part of working in the travel industry is helping my clients fullfill their travel dreams. I look forward to working with YOU!

I caught the travel bug early in life, in 1970 traveled with a friend to japan and a month later turned 19 in hong kong. so, my first love was asia and over 7 years i went 6 times around the world, mostly going back to japan, bali, thailand, burma, india and nepal. i spent 4 months traveling alone in india and nepal going from ashram to monastery, ending up in kopan monastery outside of kathmandu to spend three months learning buddhism and meditation..

I really enjoy selling travel and making vacations memorable for clients. I feel very blessed to be in the travel business for so many years and for the opportunity to travel. I have been over 100 times to Central and South America. Most recently visiting Norway, Holland, France, Spain, Croatia, Greece, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Dominica, Cambodia, Thailand, Nepal, Argentina, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. I have developed contacts in all these places that make clients' experiences more of an authentic cultural encounter. I am now working with select clients and welcome you to the tribe.
