Hadas Chechik - Romance and Luxury SpecialistA fitness fanatic, a wanderer at heart and an educator at the core...
My name is Hadas Chechik and I have a Master’s degree in developmental Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University in NYC. I first traveled to Europe for my Bat Mitzvah trip when I was 13 and immediately the passion for travel was lit within me. I spent my youth living in London enjoying weekends in Paris and Amsterdam and later exploring other European cities and sites. During my early adult years I moved to NYC and studied for a dual degree in Psychology and Art. These days I am a dedicated travel consultant specializing in luxury and bespoke travel. I pride myself on providing boutique services with superb attention to detail because after all…one size never fits all. I am also a certified special needs travel consultant bringing years of experience working with special needs families and merging it into the travel planning process. I thrive on getting to know my clients and think of each chance encounter as a unique opportunity. I am personally interested in multiculturalism and immersive experiences and strive to weave unique interests and perspective into each itinerary crafting travel experiences that you and your family will forever look back on with joy.

Bill Sickles - Travel Advisor
With a wealth of personal global travel experience, Bill’s goal is to help clients find what they are looking for in a vacation. His focus includes both relaxing (fun and sun, for example the Caribbean and Mexico, all inclusive resorts and Cruises) AND active (hiking, biking etc. for example, Trek Travel, Backroads and Uncruise) vacations!
Bill “officially” joined the travel industry in 2020 but caught the travel bug at an early age. A trip to Spain & Portugal as a high school junior, was followed by a soccer tour to England the next year and he was hooked! A long career in digital marketing/technology and broadcasting, and many family vacations, offered an opportunity to travel extensively. Bill has already visited 35 countries and 40 US states. Bill has always been the go-to guy for travel ideas among friends and family, and now enjoys helping others “Escape, Explore & Enjoy” Certifications: Backroads “Inside Track” Uncruise “Adventurist” Trek Travel Couples Resorts Ambassador Marriott Hotel Excellence AM Resorts Master Agent |

Ani Holcomb - Travel Specialist
I was born in Cuba, then lived in Costa Rica and eventually grew up in Miami, Florida. As an immigrant child, my parents gave up everything to give me and my sister the opportunity of freedom. As a child, I did not have many toys. Instead, my most prized possession was a used set of Britannica Encyclopedias, which I read cover to cover from A-Z, before I was even a teenager. I specially loved everything that dealt with people, places and cultures!
When it was time for college, it was an easy choice for what I wanted to study; I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a double major, finishing with a BA in Geography and a BA in International Relations, a minor in Religious Studies and a Certificate in Latin America and Caribbean Studies. Next, my passion for the world gave me the desire to mold the minds of anyone who would listen so I chose to become a High School Geography teacher, winning Teacher of the Year honors my first year of teaching! I later split my time as a teacher and also became a guidance counselor at the same large Middle/High School in South Florida. During this time, I earned a Master’s Degree in School Counseling and Psychology. As soon as I was able, I got a passport and began to travel the world, especially Europe, which is my ultimate passion. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve gone from traveling months living out of a backpack, to weeks in five-star hotels. I have extensive knowledge, traveling from long haul journeys to weekend getaways. I pride myself with the familiarity of the ins-and-outs of travel that I have gathered given my personal travels all over the US and Canada, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Western and Eastern Europe, and Australia. Moreover, I have gained from in depth research a good amount of knowledge of just about every nation around the world. I currently live in a small equestrian community in South Florida where I enjoy talking about travel, dreaming about travel, planning travel for others and traveling as much as possible! I enjoy spending my spare time creating itineraries on just about everywhere on this planet, reading, listening to music, participating in church activities, and spending time outside in my garden. My ultimate favorite though is spending time with my kids and husband as well as with friends and family. Ooh and with my 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and 4 cats! As years pass, I pray that I can explore as much as I possibly can, and more excitingly, be able to use this knowledge to help as many people make memories they will hold on to their entire lives. Over the past 20 plus years, my explorations of the world have changed from mostly couples travel with my husband, to family travel with our now 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter. But I love to work on all sorts of vacations and specialize in many forms and methods of travel, including European travel, Family travel, Luxury travel, All-Inclusive Resorts and Cruises. But I also love to plan anything! Be it a honeymoon, a multi generational-trip, a girls getaway, etc. Really just about anything that allows me to plan a special travel experience to those seeking, a personally crafted, concierge type of adventure! Lastly, but most importantly, as your travel specialist, you can feel confident you will receive knowledgeable, personalized, travel services that exceed industry standards. |
