I have a passion for travel and have spent the last 30 years doing what I like best, planning adventures and vacations for my clients. Seeing new places and learning about other cultures is what really drives my enthusiasm for the industry. I have seen much of Europe over the years and have made annual visits to Italy for the last 10. As wonderful as those trips were, the ones that really stand out from the rest are a Safari in Kenya and a cruise/land tour combination in Egypt. Both took me to ancient lands, but the contrast between the two was remarkable.

My travel experiences have included many visits to the Caribbean, including San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Kitts and many more popular destinations. Some of these were ports of call while I enjoyed cruises with Carnival, Princess and Royal Caribbean. One of my most memorable adventures was a month long stay in Germany. It is an amazing country, much different from our own. Over the years I have earned my Certified Travel Associate certification, as well as specialty certifications from Travel Bound and several cruise lines. I am also a big fan of Disney and love to use my College of Disney Knowledge certification to help other travelers enjoy this magical vacation as much as I do.

Lee Sparks Travel Bio

I have been making travel dreams come true for people for over 25 years now. I love to travel and am fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit Hawaii, Jamaica, Italy, Thailand and Singapore. These are some of my favorite destinations, so much so that I have made 20 trips between them! But, as much as I love the exotic, my absolute favorite trip was an African safari. The need to know more about the world has led me to earn my Certified Travel Counselor certification along with specialist certifications with several cruise lines, Sandals resorts, Travel Bound and the electric city of Vegas. Sharing my knowledge and experiences is a hobby, not just a job for me.

I have been in the travel industry for over 11 years now and have loved every minute of it. I have completed studies of all six continents offered by the International Council of Travel Agents, am a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge, a Destination Specialist for several hotels and cruise lines, Rail Europe and the Islands of Hawaii. I enjoy every aspect of travel from hotels to cruises and planes to trains and gained lots of first hand experience with them in my travels across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and throughout the Caribbean.
