Gena's Travel Bio What is your travel vision? I sell travel because I love to travel myself and there is nothing I enjoy more than sharing my experiences with clients.  I think some of our most cherished memories come from trips we’ve taken with both family and friends.  I love to help people make some of their dreams come true. What's in your carry on? A good book, left over airplane snacks and an expensive water bottle since I can’t carry my own water bottle through security! What is your most memorable or most inspiring travel experience? Horseback riding along the beach in Costa Rica at sunset – unbelievable!! What has been your best culinary experience/ memorable meal while traveling? TOO many to choose just one but San Francisco has to be one of my favorite places to eat.  Everything from Tadich Grill  to  Nob Hill Tratoria and Italian food in North Beach. What is the one destination/experience you still want to go/have? African Safari
