Part of what makes Tenon so great is our one-on-one mentality and desire to get to know our clients. We thought it was about time to return the favor and let you get to know us! Courtney, our By-Your-Side Service℠ TEAM Leader, has been with us since February 2017. Below she answered some questions about herself and her journey in the travel business!
If you could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be?
“How do you choose when the world is so large? I fell in love with the Republic of Ireland and its people. The country is absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait to return.”
What is your biggest advice to someone traveling internationally for their very first time?
“My biggest piece of advice is to be prepared! Make sure you have a paper copy of all your documents: photo id, passport, insurance cards, etc. This way if anything were to happen, you are ready!”
What has been one fun fact about our destinations that you have learned while working for Tenon?
“While working for Tenon I have learned so much more about all the destinations! One of my favorite random facts is that Ireland has no snakes on the island.”
How does your education connect to your career? What about personal experiences?
“I received my Associate’s Degrees in Hospitality Management, studying both Travel & Tourism Management and Hotel & Casino Management. After graduating from college, I was honored to accept an internship with the Disney College Program in Orlando, Florida. While working in Disney World my appreciation for different cultures grew as I worked with people from all over the world. Knowing I have friends in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, England, South Korea, etc., sparks my interest in traveling even more!”
Where have you traveled outside the United States?
“As I am still fairly young, I have not gone as far as I would like. My travels have taken me, Canada, Bermuda, Bahamas, Ireland, Scotland, and England! Inside the U.S., although, I have traveled to over twenty-five states and plan to make it to all 50 in the next 5 years! I cannot wait to see what my next adventure will be.”
