Eric D. Barnes

Director of Business Operations

In 2015, I embarked on my journey into the realm of Travel, delving into the particular organization of client files and records for a modest home-based agency. As I meticulously arranged these details, a profound ardor for Travel ignited within me, compelling a fervent desire to explore and relish the manifold treasures our world holds.

My adventures have led me to Turks & Caicos, Hawai'i (specifically Maui, O'ahu, & Kaua'i), Cuba, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Greece, Israel, Iceland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Croatia, Montenegro, Hungary, Austria, Germany, and various destinations across the United States, imprinting diverse experiences upon my soul. I specialize in curating experiences in Cruises and Shore Excursions, Accessible Travel, and Small Groups, bolstered by memberships in esteemed associations like ASTA, CLIA, and the Signature Travel Network.

Each trip has become a wellspring of inspiration, instilling in me the zeal to recreate the essence of Travel for our cherished clients. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to enrich your forthcoming vacation with the same spirit that has illuminated my own adventures.
