Testimonials
"We are getting back into the swing of the life we left behind for our wonderful visit to France. Thank you so much for your superb organization and management of the trip from the very beginning to end, Michaels talented contributions, and Norma’s cheerful encouraging presence and expert input whenever needed.

Background
I studied television production in college and then worked at an advertising agency in San Diego. My husband and I sold everything we owned in 1982 and traveled around the world for 2 years. I taught English in Japan for a year and fell in love with the country. After traveling, I worked at SOBEK (the whitewater rafting company before it merged with Mountain Travel) and at Backroads (the active vacation company in Berkeley) for ten years. I have taken 11 Backroads trips. After working at Dimensions in Travel for eight years, I bought the agency in 2007 with Jill Romano as my partner. |
