About Us

We create custom travel packages for individuals and groups. We help travelers experience a destination not just see it. We create itineraries where you meet the locals, learn about the culture and get close to nature and wildlife. We spend the time to get to know you and understand what you are looking for so we can create the trip for you not what you see in a travel brochure. Some of our specialties include Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Asia, Adventure Travel and Running and cycling Tours. Contact us at sue@amazingtravel.com

How We Got Started

I am the owner of Absolutely Amazing Travel and have been in business since 1994. Prior to starting my business, I was a software engineer working for Boeing. I had lost my job and was having trouble finding another position in engineering. I started doing outside sales for travel agency temporarily until the job market improved. I loved working for myself and loved researching and learning about other countries. After a few months, I decided to open up my own travel agency not really knowing anything about running a business or sales and marketing. I made a lot of mistakes but managed to survive. I love what I do. I specialize in experiential travel where you meet the locals, learn about the culture and get close to nature. I also started a sub-company, Amazing Running Tours where I sell trips for runners, cyclists and hikers. I have been a long-distance runner for many years as well as a cyclist and it is great to be able to combine my passion with my business.

I would love to hire someone. Here are my reasons The cost and as a small business with limited budget, I cannot afford to invest and get no results. It would be devastating.

Here are my reasons The cost and as a small business with limited budget, I cannot afford to invest and get no results. It would be devastating. Companies I have talked to do not seem to be a good fit for my business. They don't really understand my target market and cant relate to my clients the way I can and/or they seem to focus on just one aspect of marketing rather than looking at the big picture.
