I'm a proud mom of four wonderful boys—three are pursuing their university and graduate studies, and my youngest is still in high school. I've been happily married for 30 years, and family has always been the heart of my life. While my academic background is in science—specifically pharmacology, with an Associate of Science degree and further studies in Biology at George Mason University—my passion has always been in exploring the world and helping others do the same. That love for travel led me to earn a Travel Agent Diploma from the ATI School of International Travel and Tourism. I later worked as a Travel Consultant at Wholesale Travel Center in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia, where I had the opportunity to turn that passion into a profession. Although I stepped away from the role due to family responsibilities, the experience left a lasting impression on me. I found real joy in helping clients create custom travel experiences that were not just trips, but memories they would carry for a lifetime. Being a travel advisor means more than booking flights and hotels—it’s about listening, understanding, and curating journeys that reflect each traveler’s unique dreams. Helping people plan those unforgettable getaways, hearing about their adventures, and knowing I played a part in their happiness is incredibly rewarding. Travel isn't just about destinations—it's about connection, discovery, and joy. That’s what inspires me to continue in this industry. Thank you, Safia Nezam
