About Me

Mazatlan, Mexico
Mazatlan, Mexico

I have over 45 years experience in the travel industry. I began in the hotel business, and moved on to travel agency work a couple of years later.  I have worked from small offices to large, multi-state travel agencies, and finally joined A1 Travel in 1989. I offer services in both Corporate and Leisure travel services. 

I have handled all aspects of travel: Corporate, leisure, river cruise, international, safari, etc. and I love the variety of work involved in servicing today's multi-faceted traveler. My personal travel experiences have included Germany, Grand Cayman, St Thomas, St Johns, Jamaica, Mexico, Hawaii, Iceland, Puerto Rico, Belize, Honduras, rail trips, cruising and much of the United States.

I enjoy building an on-going relationship that allows me the knowledge to know exactly what my client's personal likes and dislikes would be. This relationship knowledge is my tool in perfecting the exact vacation that my clients will love and remember. This customized level of service is what keeps my clients returning year after year and referring me to their family and friends.

Memorable European family vacation to celebrate a
Reviewed By Chris - Minnetonka MN | Traveled to Germany ~ Europe
Prior to selecting a travel agency to work with on our European vacation, we personally met with Monique to be sure she had the expertise we were looking for. We are a family of 5 (husband/wife/2 adult children and mother) traveling to Germany to celebrate a relative's 80th birthday. Throughout the planning process, Monique was very attentive and responsive to our numerous emails and telephone calls. During the planning stage, we made several changes to the itinerary and she provided updated pricing quotes promptly. A suggestion we have for A1 Travel partners in Europe is to provide specific detail about where to board a ferry (Rhine cruise with Koln Dusseldorfer boards at Pier 4 in Bingen), nearest parking lot for tours, etc. Details that can save the traveler time and energy. Having reserved tickets for various tours/concerts before leaving the US allowed us to move past the long ticket lines and provided more time for sightseeing and shopping! A memorable European vacation!

"It was my pleasure to work with both of you in the process of creating a memorable family trip. I am glad that all you were able to utilize the benefits of pre-booking for activities in bypassing the long lines. I will forward your suggestion to Koln Dusseldorfer about including more details as to parking locations in relation to the piers. Thank you for your review! Monique "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By none - Grand Junction, Colorado | Traveled to Central Asia
Monique has been fantastic to work with over the past seven years. I was traveling out of the country two to three times per year on hunting trips, mostly to Africa and Central Asia. She has a good understanding of the needs of hunters carrying weapons and ammunition. After I started having her do my travel plans, the guns arrived with me 100% of the time. Prior to that, the hunt was usually over by the time they arrived. Monique starts looking for the best fare months ahead and has saved me lots of money over the years. On one trip alone, she saved about $2000. on a business class fare with Turkish Air by having me depart the USA from Los Angeles instead of Chicago. Arrival in Central Asia was the same either way. I can highly recommend her for arranging your next trip anywhere.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A different agent assisted with the planning and booking of our vacation, but Monique stepped in when the other agent went out on leave. She was very helpful and responsive, and offered great suggestions.
