Travel Advisor: Toni Woods

Favorite destination?

Italy

Why is that your favorite destination?

Italy has contributed so much beauty to the world in so many areas - art, architecture, fashion, food, wine, music, etc. It's also a country full of beautiful, lively people. I've visited many times and am very familiar with nearly all of its regions. 

What destination is on your bucket list?

French Polynesia

Why is that destination on your bucket list?

It's one of the areas of the globe that I have not had the opportunity to explore yet. Would love to visit Tahiti, Bora Bora and a few of the other islands.

What destinations have you visited?

I've visited almost 50 of the US states and 6 continents (including Antarctica). I've traveled to most of the European nations, as well as to the UK, including Northern Ireland. I've toured many Asian countries, including China. I went on safari in Tanzania and Kenya in Africa. I've also been to the Middle East - the United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Fujairah), Oman, Jordan, Qatar, Israel, and Palestine.

Why should someone book their vacation with you?

I've been traveling since I was 5 years old. I'm constantly educating myself on new destinations, as well as the places to visit when traveling to them. I enjoy traveling the world, meeting new people and trying new foods, especially those which are considered specialties of the area/country I am visiting!

What travel industry certifications have you earned?

Ireland Destination Specialist Certification

Hawaii Destination Specialist Certification
