What is it like to be a travel professional in the time of Covid-19? We know all too well the negatives, but is there anything positive we can take away from the experience? I ask five travel consultants to open up to me, to be honest and candid in their Covid Confessionals. These are my all-star guests for the premier episode:
Sharon Campbell-Little, is the president / owner of award winning Wedding and Honeymoon Travel group specializing in full-service worldwide romance travel. Originally born in Edinburgh Scotland with a travel career spanning over 25 years, twelve of those years were spent working overseas for Thomas Cook one of the largest tour operators in the world. Sharon has now settled in Southern California and describes herself as a passionate and hopeless romantic who simply loves love. Since emigrating to the US 11 years ago, Sharon has built her romance travel company within the niche of destination weddings and honeymoons. Sharon has been the recipient of many top seller awards with hotels and preferred tour operator partners and is a #1 Selling agency for the island of Jamaica.

Brian Raymond is the president of Sophisticated Crusing. Like many in the travel business, Brian didn’t start in it. His career started out as a staff attorney for the Michigan Speaker of the House. From there he moved into technology, as President of the Michigan Information Technology Network, Sr. VP at Chaparral Communication and VP at Sony Electronics. After twenty years in corporate America, he decided to work for himself as a real estate broker, and then he and his husband followed a dream to build a bar on the Mediterranean in Spain. The plan was to stay there forever, but the financial crisis of 2008 hit Spain especially hard. They sold the bar and moved to the US, where Brian started his travel career in 2010. https://www.facebook.com/james.brian.raymond
