Summary
Resourcefulness, passion, excellent organizational, research, and collaborative skills are offered.
Having traveled to many destinations has provided much information on such destinations, various properties, European hotels, and the many areas for improvement, especially in adult only properties. An understanding of different levels of service, destinations, and hotels has been acquired which ensures a proper in depth research into their various offerings.
Through many years of teaching, there has been much development in research skills, interpersonal skills and collaboration skills.
The research aspect of potential destinations for myself and others is always a challenging and enjoyable experience.
Now retired, there is a desire for a part-time career in the travel industry and an opportunity to offer excellent travel experiences to customers.
