About
We Work for You
In the world of discount online booking sites and instant search results, it can be easy to book travel on your own. And millions of people do. But for those that want service and attention to detail, a travel specialist is the best way to go. Most travel specialists work differently, here is what Windblown Travel has to offer you.
Service: From the first contact and beyond your travel dates. When you book with Windblown Travel you aren’t just a number, you are our client! We want you to have great service from the first phone call, through your travels and we’re still here for you after you return home. The greatest compliment we can receive is the referral of your family and friends.
Time Saving: Searching Google for the best deal is as time consuming as searching for the needle in the sand. The average person spends over 20 hours searching Google for vacation destinations. Who has that much time to waste? Windblown Travel is here to help. Do you want white sandy beaches or, do you want a quiet, luxury vacation with romance and serenity? Choosing the right destination and resort/cruise can make or break your vacation. Let us narrow down the options that meet your must-haves and help make that dream vacation a reality.
Your best interest: Selling you a vacation that we enjoy is not what you’re looking for. Be careful of your friend’s recommendations, their experience, expectation and evaluation may not be the same as yours. One of the questions we ask most often is this: When you close your eyes, what do you see? The answers will let us know where you like to vacation. For some, it’s the hustle and bustle of downtown Paris. For others it’s the cool breeze and slow travel while relaxing on an open balcony of a river cruise with a nice glass of wine. Neither answer is wrong, but if you are looking for a Paris vacation and end up with a trip to Iceland you’re not going to be happy.

I’ve always loved traveling and exploring new cultures, and I got interested in the travel industry after years of booking for my family and friends. They loved my trips and suggested I become a travel agent. I looked into the options and quickly realized that it was the perfect opportunity.
