About
Curious about the world, other cultures and history. I travel several months a year exploring new places with my husband, children and grandchildren. I have been to 124 countries. We reside in CO and AK.
Travel style
I pick a few new countries to explore and an itinerary to follow. I like to spend time getting to know each country — there's so much to experience and learn about! I love serendipity along the way. We end our travels of staying in boutique hotels and small inns/B&Bs with a few weeks relaxing on an island, or two. We have been to most island groups in the world and now are planning our eighth trip to the Maldives luxury travel at its finest! We have stayed in 16 Maldivian Resorts thus far. We also enjoy adventuring with our grandchildren and children. The world is a classroom and we also traveled for months at a time with our four children growing up. A few of my fondest recent memories are our self drive around Namibia, driving around Kyushu in rural Japan (including Yakushima), staying in the romantic Onsens, hiking in the Sapa area of Northern Vietnam, exploring the Lofoten Islands, island hopping in the South Pacific, snorkeling in Indonesia and the Maldives, taking the Indian Pacific train across Australia and exploring Nepal, Peru, Sri Lanka, Morocco, Norway and France. I love to share the joy of travel with others!

Susan's reviews
Booking with Susan made planning this trip such a breeze! She was very on top of everything and coordinated with the hotel directly. She was also very quick to respond to any questions we had. We basically just had to show up and enjoy! I highly recommend working with Susan for your next vacation getaway!

Susan Anderson was extremely helpful in the planning of our vacation to Puerto Rico. She was very professional, creative and knowledgeable. Susan was also very responsive to all of our questions and her experience made all the difference. We wanted to make a few last minute changes to our trip and she was very accommodating. Her services helped us to get a room upgrade and some meals included in our stay, which we would not have been able to get if we had booked this trip ourselves! We had a fantastic vacation and would highly recommend her services!

Susan got me the best hotel--without me even knowing there was one within my budget! She was very attentive to my travel preferences and anticipated my needs. Very service oriented, this is reflective of her life resume: she told me she was a stay at home mom of 4 kids for 25 years and to this day still manages her husband's business, too! Plus, all of her years of discovering countries have made travel planning second nature to her. She is the new best kept secret in the travel agent world!
