SARA BUTRUFF - Family Vacay, Group Travel, Honeymoon Specialist
​I have owned my agency since 1999 and have been in the business for 20 years in 2013. It has been a whirlwind of fun.

I am passionate about Hawaii and have visited all the islands many times. I also love Viking and Uniworld River Cruises, all things Disney and spending time traveling with my family and friends.

I have been an active member of the Farmington Rotary since 2002 and have served as president twice. I am the VIP Chair for Ramble Jam, an annual fundraiser and have been involved with the Apple Valley and Dakota County Chambers of Commerce.

I love my job each and every day and look forward to what the next 20 years in business will bring.

LAURIE ZELLER - Disney Destinations, Mexico, & Canada
"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer" ~ This is a philosophy that I firmly believe in and have found to be true since I started in this industry in 1993. Asking a travel agent why you should have them book your vacation versus booking it yourself online is like asking a plumber why you should have them repair your leaky sink instead of buying a wrench and watching an online "how-to" video. The answer is this: Travel professionals have spent years training to do what we do!

CAROLYN BOHN - Australia and Mexico Specialist
“Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport” ~ The Travel Channel lists Australia in their TOP 10 Bucket List destinations. With the lure of snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, hiking in the Outback, and seeing a concerts at the Sydney Opera House it’s pretty easy to see why it’s on the Bucket List of so many adventurers! I am a certified Aussie Specialist and visited “The Land Down Under” in 2015. I’ve seen crocodiles jump out of the water and fight each other to grab some chicken. I’ve taken a helmet dive into the Great Barrier Reef to see the beauty that exists beneath the waves. And I’ve even held an adorable koala! If you are interested in making some of these dreams come true for you, please contact me!

MAUREEN JANKE - All-Inclusives, Cruises and European Culture
I have always had a love for travel. After having the opportunity to travel to Germany, I would love to share my experience and expertise planning your trip to Germany. From the wine country of Trier along the Mosel River, to the history of Berlin, and the culture of Bavaria - I will tailor your experience to the things you love to do. 

As a former 30 year military member and veteran myself, I strive for the best for my extended military family. I am understanding of the day-to-day sacrifices that are to be made. I am very dedicated to all branches of service active and retired and the veteran military and their families. 

I received my formal training at The Travel Academy, and I have had the pleasure of planning vacations since 2007. My favorite vacations include all-inclusive properties along the Riviera Maya and in Punta Cana. I have sailed on the Epic on her inaugural voyage.

LEAH MARTIN - Florida, Hawaii and European Cruising
The quote “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list!” could not describe me any better! While researching trips for my clients I get lost in sharing their vacation dreams. I get excited for them and find myself adding yet another amazing destination to my list of places to visit. Since I began in this industry, my devotion to travel has only grown. I love helping Minnesota residents escape the cold and find their ultimate warm weather paradise!

KATRINA KESTLER - Bilingual Spain and Europe Specialist
“Don’t wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.” This is my absolute approach to travel. It’s easy to imagine yourself in Madrid, but not always so easy figuring out the best way to get there. I know how overwhelming it can be to plan a vacation, especially a trip of a lifetime. As a local twin cities travel agent, I am here to help!

Having someone who understands the ins and outs of travel means a hassle-free, well-planned vacation without putting in all the time and research. Most importantly, it means getting you to that destination you’ve been dreaming of!
