Susan's passion for travel began as a girl growing up in Pittsburgh, PA when her mom saw her gazing at exotic locations in a National Geographic magazine and said, "Maybe someday you'll go to all of these places." The seed was planted! After taking her first cruise to the Caribbean with a beloved aunt who wanted to make Susan's "Love Boat" dream come true, she was hooked on travel. Since then she has explored 47 of the 50 states in the grand old USA and 25 countries worldwide. Susan appreciates both cost conscious and free spending travel because she's planned and experienced the gamut both domestically and globally.
