Though I had plans to pursue a special education career, my wanderlust was too strong to ignore. At age 19, I made the decision to follow my passion and help people to plan exotic and wonderful adventures. That was the beginning of my career as a travel agent.
After working in the business for about 10 years I became the president of a long established agency in Farmington Hills, MI. After 1 year of employment I bought Trans Global Travel and built it into a very successful Corporate and Leisure travel agency.
While my staff attended to the corporate accounts that I brought to the company I focused my attention on the corporate executives, their families and their friend’s luxury vacations.
After 17 years as CEO of Trans Global Travel I made to decision to focus exclusively on luxury travel consulting. I sold the business to Hamilton, Miller, Hudson and Fayne Travel Companies and I became the Vice President of the Leisure Division for them.
In 2008 I created “Destinations by Judy” - an independent affiliate of Cadence Travel in La Jolla, California and a proud member of the exclusive invitation-only Virtuoso network (a travel consortium that only 1% of America's travel companies belong to). Because of my affiliations I have preferred partnerships with the world's best tour, cruise, and hotel companies. What does this mean for my clients? VIP treatment, value-added amenities such as free upgrades, free breakfast, early check-in, late check-out, and much more.
Originally from Detroit and now homesteading in Bradenton, Florida, I help clients all around the country turn their travel dreams into realities. Visiting a new destination at least once a year, I love to experience different cultures, meet people from all walks of life, and taste local cuisines. I truly believe that my years of experience as a travel specialist combined with my own personal travel experience makes me a reliable resource for my clients. I can't wait to speak with you!
