Hello ! My name is Zelma Neal and I have been traveling for many, many years. I have been very fortunate to visit some incredibly gorgeous places both domestically and internationally. I just love talking about travel and because of this passion, I often find myself planning trips for friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, etc. It is just what I do !! and because of this, I decided to become a travel agent and actually get paid for something I have been helping people with for a very long time !! I traveled within the US for many years and have visited 40 of our US states. What I find excited about travel is researching the area before, and finding unique must see, not to miss sites in each place I visit. I love learning the history behind a location as I think it makes visiting that much more interesting if you have little tidbits of information to share as your travel. It really just brings travel alive for me. I started traveling internationally for the first time when I turned 50! My first international trip was to Ireland, Paris and Iceland. I spent 10 days touring Ireland with friends but was just not ready to leave, so I stayed longer solo and visited Paris and Reykjavik in Iceland. I typically look for deals and let that determine where I go. Did you know that many airlines have stopover programs, which allows you to turn your layover into a multi day stopover for no additional cost ? this is how I ended up in Iceland through Icelandair's stopover program. To date, I have visited Ireland, Northern Ireland, all over Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Canada, Greece, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, Azores Islands, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico, Aruba, Curacao, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Bahamas, and Dominican Republic! I currently have 3 trips planned in 2024, so there is lots of information up in this head of mine :-) Looking forward to talking to you and helping you discover the love of travel as much as I do !
