My passion for travel was solidified after spending six weeks backpacking through Europe in my early twenties.  Being immersed in the history and culture inherently changed my view of the world and my place in it.  I spent 12 years in corporate marketing, while continuing to pursue my passion for travel planning. During those years, I planned large scale golf trips for groups all over the country, including Kiawah Island, Whistling Straits, and Palm Springs.  I loved researching and learning about new places and courses, and continued to travel domestically and internationally as often as I could. 

 

I took a leap of faith and made my hobby and passion my profession going to work as a Travel Advisor.  I studied the travel planning process, learned from industry leaders, and made contacts throughout the world. Pate Travel Group was born out of my dedication to learning this industry and my passion to make travel opportunities easier for others to enjoy—making the plans they once only imagined a reality.
