History
Established in 2007.
With nearly 30 years of professional experience arranging travel, I have spent my career helping people see the world with confidence. In 2007, I turned that lifelong passion into my own agency, Wandering Puffin LLC, after having worked for an agency for nearly 10 years, starting in 1997. My company is now proudly entering its 20th year of business. My expertise isn't just from a textbook as I have personally traveled to nearly 100 countries, returning to many of them multiple times. To compliment that firsthand experience, I have completed numerous destination specialist training programs, regularly attended international travel forums, conventions and tradeshows. These decades of personal exploration and ongoing education have allowed me to build deep professional relationships, securing direct access to trusted local resources worldwide. It’s these global connections that allow me to bring the best possible value, insider expertise, and peace of mind to your next travel adventure.
