Liz Matulich

Travel Advisor

My love for travel began at a young age with our family vacations. I have been selling travel for over 41 years, and fortunate to have traveled to six continents and over 80 countries worldwide.

I especially enjoy exploring exotic locations, like the Taiwan Lantern festival, dancing with the Samburu and the Masai tribes in Kenya, Komodo dragon trekking in Indonesia, riding sand dunes in Dubai.

There are so many exciting, unique and thrilling locations around the world for you to enjoy and experience.

My motto, La Dolce Vita!

Life is too short have no regrets,
Travel and see the world, it’s out there just waiting for you!
