What inspired you to become a travel agent?
I’ve always had a love for traveling and exploring new places. I have traveled extensively through Europe and have also been to New Zealand and Australia. I have sailed on many cruises, traveled to the Caribbean and Mexico, honeymooned in Bora Bora and traveled within the United States as well. I found myself helping family and friends plan vacations, and decided to start my own travel agency. And so began Ambren Travel in 2012!
Where did you come up with the name "Ambren Travel”?
My children’s names are Amelia & Brendan, thus, "Am-Bren" Travel.
What are your favorite trips to plan?
I really enjoy putting together land and cruise packages and custom itineraries. I love working with clients that aren’t sure exactly what they want to do or don’t know how to put all the elements together seamlessly. I listen to what clients want out of a vacation; how they like to travel, what type of atmosphere they prefer, and what they like to do. I take this information and present initial choices, and then we tweak from there to create the perfect itinerary.
What are your favorite places to travel?
My husband and I started traveling with our children when they were babies. We have taken them to Turks & Caicos, Hawaii, New York City, trips to Disney World & Disneyland, Alaska, domestic getaways, they have been on over a dozen cruises, and so far they have been to five countries in Europe! Out of all of my travels, New Zealand probably captured my heart the most, but I love Europe and go as often as I can, and I have also fallen in love with Alaska!

Travel Specialist
Las Vegas & West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, Cruises, and Solo Travel
Located in Las Vegas, Nevada
What inspired you to become a travel agent?
My passion for travel began when I was 4 years old and took my first plane ride! I was lucky to experience traveling as a child and my wanderlust only grew from there. I am from Chicago, Illinois and currently call Las Vegas, Nevada my home. As a teacher since 1998, I took advantage of my breaks from school by experiencing destinations such as cruising the east and west coast, visiting Europe, Alaska, Mexico, and Hawaii. I became an informal travel planner for my friends and family which has led me to the natural path of becoming a travel specialist. Researching new destinations, learning about various cultures, and helping others find enjoyment in their precious vacation time is truly a pleasure for me.
What are your favorite trips to plan?
My two favorite trips to plan are ones to relax and ones to explore! There’s beauty to be had in each type of vacation! I love Hawaii and enjoy matching the differences of each island to the needs of the vacationer. Being the daughter of a retired high school history teacher, I also love researching trips that focus on European history, especially in Italy, France, and the UK.
What are your favorite places to travel?
As a desert dweller, I love to get away and see water! Las Vegas is affectionately nicknamed “Hawaii’s 9th Island.” So Hawaii is a natural fit for me! Continuing my need to see water once in a while, I have been on about 35 cruises and most have been Caribbean itineraries. However, when it’s time to get out of the hot Vegas summers, Alaska, Northern European cities, and the British Isles are some of my current favorites.
Stacey Morgart
Travel Specialist
Cruises, All Inclusive Resorts, Alaska, and Europe
Located in St. Augustine, FL
What inspired you to become a travel agent?
I’ve always had a passion for traveling and learning about different cultures. In the past, I’ve enjoyed researching trip destinations and organizing family vacations. Being a stay-at-home mom to 2 daughters I had often thought of becoming a travel specialist. I was eager to embark on a new career endeavor as the girls have gotten older. Becoming a travel specialist was the perfect fit with my love of travel and helping others fulfill their vacation desires.
What are your favorite trips to plan?
Personally, my favorite trips to plan are those that I get to help in the process of creating once in a lifetime memories! I also enjoy planning cruises, multi-generational trips, groups, and tours to Europe. I love hearing how enthusiastic clients are before their journey and all about how their trip was when they return.
What are your favorite places to travel?
My husband, daughters and I love making memories while traveling and spending time together. We truly enjoy traveling with friends and family too. We have been to several amazing destinations such as Hawaii, Mexico, New York City, Disney World, Washington D.C., Alaska, Vermont, Canada, and cruising throughout the Caribbean. Alaska is by far our favorite trip, yet! We are counting down the days until our upcoming summer vacation to Italy and the Western Mediterranean.

What inspired you to become a travel agent?
One of my favorite books growing up was the Rand McNally Atlas. My parents frequently piled us into the car to drive across the country to visit relatives or to vacation. I loved following our journey and finding out what was near our route. My passion for travel only grew as I got older.
I married an active duty Airman and had two children. Disney World became one of our favorite trips. I quickly became the resident expert and found myself helping other military families plan their trips as well. I took such joy in the planning process!
What are your favorite trips to plan?
Besides family vacations, I specialize in Destination Weddings. I love that I can take the load off, so the Bride and Groom can enjoy their special event without dealing with the details! I also specialize in multi-generational trips, honeymoons, and group travel. I look forward to helping you make your vacation dreams come true.
What are your favorite places to travel?
My husband eventually retired from the military and we now reside near Atlanta, Ga. My kids are teens and we still enjoy our frequent trips to Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando resort. (My daughter is Harry Potter obsessed!). Ocean Cruising and All-Inclusive resorts are 2 of our other frequent vacations.
