From a very young age, I was fascinated by geography & maps.  At the age of 9, my 4th grade teacher challenged everyone for extra credit to learn every country and capital in the world.  This set the stage.  In 1989, I purchased International Travel Service, an agency I operated for 12 years (1989-2001).  My first trip to Europe was in 1990 with my Father to his birthplace, Village Brajcino, Macedonia the Former Yugoslavia, now Northern Macedonia.  It remains an emotional travel memory with my father that I will forever hold deep in my heart. My upbringing and family entrepreneurial spirit has inspired me to follow my dreams, travel the world and help others fulfill their dreams.
