Travel Agents still exist?? Yes, I get this question often! Travel agents still exist and play a valuable role in the travel industry. While technology has made it easier for people to book travel online, travel agents offer personalized service, expert advice, access to exclusive deals, and assistance with complex itineraries. One of the biggest assets I provide my clients are updated feedback and true reviews of the places they are looking to go. There’s no way to know if online pictures represent the most updated version and condition of the resorts and/or cruise ships. I also provide peace of mind and support during travel, which is an incredibly valuable resource for many travelers especially when concerns arise during their travel experience.

What inspired you to become a travel agent? I’ve always had a passion for travel thanks to the trips I went on with my parents when I was a child as well as later into adulthood with my husband and children. Experiencing local cultures has always been intriguing to me and I love exploring new destinations. It was through this passion that becoming a travel agent felt like a natural fit for me. Being able to share my experiences in planning travel for my clients to explore the world is truly fulfilling. I have been a travel agent for eight years now, and two years ago opened my own travel agency. I currently have five travel agents from all around the US at my agency, and we are continually growing. All of my agents have their own destinations they specialize in, and also have various experience levels. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with agents that join my agency so that they can grow and succeed.

Tell us about your family. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Kevin. We moved to Oxford about a year ago and love it here! Kevin is a proud Navy Veteran and now works for an energy from waste company. Kevin is also my partner within the agency. He helps to keep the business running so I can concentrate on providing the best service to my clients and the other agents at Gotta Skedaddle Travel. We have two daughters: Hannah is a senior at Avon Grove Charter School and has a passion for the arts, she will be playing the lead in the spring musical Little Shop of Horrors. She is excited to graduate and is looking forward to studying Criminal Justice and Forensic Investigation at Stockton University in the fall. Shayna is our younger daughter and is in 8th grade at Avon Grove Charter School. She loves sports, especially volleyball and plays for school as well as club with Blast. Her and her Mom share a mutual obsession with the Eagles and love watching games together. When we aren’t traveling, we love to go hiking especially with our dogs Ajax and Eliza. We also love having family game nights as well as movie and tv show nights.

How do you ensure that you provide personalized experiences for each client? I take the time to understand each client’s preferences, interests, and pricepoint, and tailor their travel plans accordingly. I also provide recommendations based on my own experiences and knowledge. I travel regularly on trips that are solely focused on visiting a large amount of resorts so I can experience them firsthand. I keep detailed notes so I know the best that each resort and/ or cruise offers so I know if it should be an option for my clients and when to offer it. I also explore the destinations so that I can recommend everything that shouldn’t be missed while they are enjoying their getaway. Having a personal connection to each of my clients is paramount to how I conduct my business. I ensure my clients’ needs always come first.

How do you stay updated on the latest travel trends and industry changes? In addition to continually traveling as mentioned above, I regularly attend industry conferences, participate in training programs, and stay connected with travel suppliers to stay updated on the latest trends and changes. I also work closely with a large network of travel agents. Together as a community we keep ourselves up to date with what is going on in all of the destinations.

What’s your number one travel tip? This is a great question and, since I do not feel that any one tip could trump the rest, I feature travel tips every Tuesday on my social media pages! A unique tip that I generally recommend is to pack some dryer sheets in your suitcase to keep everything smelling fresh and clean while the luggage is transported. But my favorite travel tip is to obtain travel insurance. Just like car and home insurance, it is invaluable when the time comes that you have a problem and need help. In the recent uncertain times in the world, travel insurance was a life saver for many of my clients.

As a Travel Agent, what are your bucket list destinations? After planning several clients’ honeymoons to both Fiji & Maldives, these are both on my must experience list. During one of my husband’s deployments, they were able to stop at the island of Crete in Greece. After hearing all about it, and how it was one of his favorite stops in all of his deployments, visiting there and some other Greek Islands is also on our list. My family wants to take a cruise to Alaska in the next few years as well.

Majestic churches, impressive historic fortresses, and palatial buildings: Moscow is a fascinating city whose emblematic architecture reflects the turbulent history that has defined Russia throughout the centuries.

Why travel to Moscow

Contrasts: 12th century monasteries and some of the tallest skyscrapers in Europe can be found side-by-side in this complex and captivating city. The diversity of this mega-city is astounding. Only a few steps away from the solemn red facade of the Kremlin and the sounds of righteous church bells, a buzzing night scene and alternative-fashion boutiques can be found.

Culture: In Moscow only the best goes. Be it a theatre, restaurant or gallery, the standards are certain to be world-class. The Bolshoi ballet company is reputed to be even better than the Mariinsky’s and “MMOMA” (Moscow’s museum of modern art) exhibits works of art as profound as any that could be found in the famed MOMA.

Convenience: Unlike the rest of Russia, it’s easy enough to get by with just English in Moscow and, driving excepted, it is surprisingly safe: the murder rate is lower than in some of America’s major cities.

Why visit Moscow

It would take more than two days to walk around the perimeter of the biggest city in Europe, Moscow. Many of its inhabitants barely know what’s beyond the few blocks around their flat and there are so many attractions that it’s almost impossible to know where to start. If there is such a thing as an antidote to boredom, Moscow City is it. The mind-boggling range and diversity of things to do, places to eat, parks, historical monuments and more means that a vacation in Moscow has a wealth of activities to offer for every type of traveler, from young families to retirees.

Reasons to Vacation in Moscow in 2022

The Bolshoi theatre is familiar to almost everyone as Russia’s grandest theatre, but what people don’t know is that there are many more bolshoi (big) sites in Moscow that are worth travelling all the way to Moscow to see. For more than 100 years, the world’s biggest bell has been hidden behind the Kremlin’s walls and inside Moscow’s main park (which is bigger than some countries!) there is the world’s largest outdoor ice-rink. Travelers that visit Moscow can stay at the Izmailovo, Europe’s biggest hotel, then eat at the largest and most historic McDonald’s in Europe and after that have fun at the largest European indoor theme park!

Ancient Past & Stunning Architecture:

As those who travel to Moscow will see, just because Moscow is a city of record-breaking, glitzy high-rises doesn’t mean that there is no history. On the famous Arbat street, time-worn, wooden storehouses and century-old churches are squashed up against grey, soviet blocks which are then towered over by 21st century office-blocks. Unlike its much younger sibling, St Petersburg, Moscow’s roots stretch way back to the 12th century. Within the walls of the Kremlin, the city’s oldest building the Cathedral of Assumption can be admired in all its 500+ years of age.

Culture & Convenience

For a foreigner who has never visited Russia, Moscow is the perfect stepping stone into this great land of mystery. From the country’s best classical ballet troupes to snow-white troikas trotting through the parks, all the highlights of Russian culture can be had in Moscow without any of the complications that would be expected in other, less developed regions of Russia.

Cheap as Caviar

In Moscow, everything is bargain when with the current foreign exchange rates being what they are. Even caviar doesn’t seem so dear when the exchange rate is at 60rub to the dollar, so go on indulge yourself! Take your 2022 vacation in Moscow and have the best of both worlds, with European luxury at very affordable prices.

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

We had a great time both in Moscow and St Petersburg. Your travel agency was excellent in coordinating the whole trip. Everything worked like clockwork. The guides assigned to us were very nice and friendly. They had a great knowledge of their subjects. The cars and the drivers were great. The hotels were good and the itinerary was good. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. It was nice dealing with you and your company. Thank you very much for a great Russian experience. Have a great future ahead
