Experience

1. Owner

   Countries And Crossroads

   Oct 2006 — Present · Littleton, CO

   Originally from the Chicago area, I traveled the country with gymnastics and would go skiing during the winter in Colorado and to Florida in the spring for the sun. I chose to attend college in Colorado and studied Business Management and Psychology. I decided to stay in Denver. Taking my mom\'s advice to \"travel the world a little bit before you settle down\" I started my career as a travel agent at the age of 19 and started my first agency at the age of 25. I grew my business to include offices in Denver, New York, London and San Diego before selling my company 18 years later in 1997 to a large corporation, Travel By Dana. Started Countries and Crossroads in 2006 to present. My focus is on corporate training and incentive travel, specialty groups on land or sea and large events. I am told that I am a lot of fun to be around. My personality is spontaneous and l just love spending time with people. Passionate about volunteering at Hospice and the elderly residences. People have so much to tell us, at Hospice, they want to tell you about the people they love, the places that they have been and their regrets. That is where my heart is now, helping people to create some memories with their families so we can reduce the regrets! If your company is looking to add families to your group incentive travels while increasing ​engagement and productivity contact me at Suzi@CountriesandCrossroads or call me at 30••••••88 and let\'s connect. Also, if you have a community that is like minded or if you are teaching or training we are happy to show you how to create a profitable and yearly event. Ask us how you can have these events and add the families! We are excited to share with you! If you are looking for fund-raising ideas for your non-profit, I have some great ideas.
