Our Team
Harold Christensen – Owner
In my youth I traveled throughout the South Pacific due to my father’s desire to work in remote places as a teacher. Due to this, travel was “in my blood” from a very early age. After graduating High School, I worked solely to earn enough money to feed my desire to travel and see new places. During the next few years, I traveled to Europe twice. First purchasing a motorcycle in London and touring most of Western Europe, then two years later purchasing a car in London and visiting parts of Europe I missed earlier. At the age of 24 I settled down enough to go into the Travel Industry full time with the goal of owning my own agency by the time I was 30yrs old. On July 1st, 1984, 2 days after my 30th birthday I took ownership of the agency I still own with my wife. With almost 40 years in the Travel Industry, I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel extensively in North America, Europe, the Mediterranean, South Africa, South America, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, New Zealand and parts of Asia. What I’ve learned helping people is that everyone knows where they want to go, even if they aren’t aware of it. As a Travel Advisor, it’s my goal to bring those hidden – and obvious – desires to the surface so they can enjoy traveling the world and seeing different cultures.
