Meet the Business Owner

Teresa R.

Business Owner

My career in the travel business, started in 1979, when I was

19 years old. I worked for a South Pacific wholesaler selling

tours to Tahiti, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Rarotonga, Tonga,

and Samoa. I then decided to become a Travel Agent, working with Friendly International Travel in Glendale, to experience more of the world and be able to share that world with potential customers. I started selling tours, cruises, hotels, rail tickets to all parts of the world. Six years later, in 1986, I purchased Friendly International Travel.

I am a certified travel agent with IATAN and have received awards and certification from several cruise lines including Crystal Cruises, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Royal Carribean.

I have received numerous awards (e.g. Character and Ethics Award from the Mayor of Glendale, CA; Character and Ethics Award from the State of California and from U.S. Senator Adams Schiff). I am also a member of the Soroptimist of Glendale service organization.
