Several years ago, my husband and I visited Laguna Beach, California. This is one of my favorite destinations! I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty.
I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit.
It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll allow me to develop a special trip for you or join me on a pre-formed trip. I look forward to meeting you!
