My name is Dottie Suttmeier CTC (Certified Travel Consultant). I have enjoyed working in the travel industry for 48 years and have visited over 72 countries.

I started my travel journey by attending an airline school in Kansas City, Mo in 1968. Then started work at my first agency in Kensington, CT in Jan 1969 and have never left the industry! I found education a big part of my growing in the industry by participating in seminars, educational travel trips and learning from my peers. I completed my CTC accreditation in 1983 and was totally involved in the CT Chapter of PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association) being president at one point. I have been with Sanditz Travel for 26 years where I continue to better my knowledge of my trade.

My passion has been what I call soft adventure travel where exotic and excitement come together. I have visited and love to sell countries like, Tanzania, ballooning over the Serengeti plains, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt and Morocco in Africa. Climbing the Great Wall of China, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and in India visiting the Taj Mahal. Found my spiritual place at the ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu, Peru, Brazil and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. The rain forest of Costa Rica, colorful markets of Guatemala and the colonial history of Mexico. I have also experienced a good part of Europe some of my favorite countries being Greece where I honeymooned, Italy including Sicily, Czech Republic, France, Iceland, Spain, Hungary Austria , Ireland and Poland my heritage.
