About Me

Budapest, HU
Budapest, HU

I moved to the United States 25 years ago with my mind set on continuing in the real estate profession. However the first job I landed was an administrative assistant for a travel supplier in Newington CT. Having to take problematic phone calls, organizing trade shows and hanging out in the reservation department, that along with my amazement with aeroplanes I decided to take a Travel Agent course followed by a GDS in sabre course. By the way I am from the Caribbean and have travelled to over 20 of the islands.

I worked as a Travel Agent full time for 8 years, with a Travel Agency in Bloomfield, CT. I also worked part time simultaneously at hotels including, Sheraton, Hilton, Marriott full service and Choice. All along I continued to work as a Home Based Travel Agent. When I meet up with old associates and they ask me "are you still selling travel?" I would smile and say "once a Travel Agent Always a travel Agent". Hence I have been, selling Travel for 25 years to date and loving it. It is such a pleasurable profession despite the ups and downs experienced at times. I really do enjoy helping people fulfill their desired travel experiences. I like going above and beyond to satisfy my clients so they keep coming back to me. I hope I did not bore you so let me keep it short and sweet and end here. Hope to hear from you really soon. I promise you will be  delightfully amazed at the quote and the exceptional customer service and satisfaction you will experience when you contact me.  

Love always

Steve,S

My Trip to Jamaica

Having worked previously at many brands of hotels, I always felt that I have the ability to rate resorts and hotels. For instance in the Caribbean my top choice are Sandals, Iberostar and Hilton. In Latin America it's Posadas brands. My stay at the Sandals Dun's River Falls in Jamaica was an experience out of this world. The room was a club level with all amenities and gifts, and a few activities were included to get the real Jamaican vibes. It was a visit to remember and I can't wait to return.  

Los Cabos

My visit to Los Cabos was quite an experience. I stayed at the Grand Fiesta Americana. From flying over the desert to watching how the locals live to the long drive to the resort. Once again I was treated to club lever room.

Great Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By Justin - Burlington CT | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
My experience started with my travel agent Steve and this was a success. He got exactly what we wanted and for a good price and he made sure that our arrival was comfortable, and our adventures were booked successfully. The bungalow over the water was amazing and the Sandals St. Lucia was an awesome experience for my wife and me. I’m planning on booking only with Steve moving forward and using Sandals very soon.

Summer in Vienna

Ever seen a movie with a person running to catch a flight? From driving through heavy traffic, parking or jumping our of a taxi cab then rushing through the airport to the airline counted, trying to explain the agent the urgency and the lateness you are facing does not mean much at a time like this! The agent tries to explain she must gather the...
