One of the most common misconceptions about travel advisors is that we’re just transactional agents – you tell us where you want to go, they book your flights, and off you go. And while we are logistics pros, there’s so much more when you work with a professional travel advisor. From that first spark of an idea until long after a trip is finished, our travel advisors are by your side. We are collaborators, curators, and confidantes, doing everything from building custom itineraries to calling our hotelier friends in Paris, Nairobi, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, or Miami to get you the suite with the very best view of the Eiffel Tower. We discuss your travel style, must-haves, wish list, and every other important detail that we will need to know!
My passion is Africa, all of Africa. It’s a place for families, reunions, friends traveling together, the physically challenged, religious, everyone. We all go to Africa to see the “Big Five”; we return because of the people. In today’s travel, we want experiences. No longer do we want to be a bystander.
We want to learn about the country we are visiting, the people we are meeting, and why the animals interact the way they are. We want to protect the countries we are seeing, not destroy them. Africa does it better than any place on Earth. The standards are higher; the rules are more stringent. I have learned that one safari program does not fit all, and it is important that I determine which one is right for you. I have escorted small groups since 1980, using this same premise so that my clients come home with knowledge, not just pictures. Whether traveling to Southern Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, or any other African country, I have taken the time to learn about each one individually. I could never get that information from the Internet. It takes commitment, time, and effort to make sure that your trip fulfills your dreams. That’s what I pride myself on. Call me to start the discussion about your safari.

Where’s Amiel?
That’s a question people have been asking for as long as I can remember. I have a credo of always going the extra mile and never backing down from an adventure. Life is made richer by the remarkable experiences we have along the way.
As a surfer and skier, this philosophy has taken me from rugged to resort. Whether it’s in the mountains, islands, jungles, or deserts, my goal has always been the same: get out there, get lost, always stay safe, and always come back with incredible stories. My best is about escaping riot police in Jakarta and standing on tanks in the Kremlin while getting caught in those countries’ revolutions.
As a father of three boys and with the responsibility of keeping Kosher, I am keenly aware of the challenges of putting together a fantastic family adventure.
Where’s Amiel?
I am here, available to share my expertise to help you to get out there and build your own. Together we can craft your next great adventure tale.
In my 36 years in the travel industry, I have traveled to all seven continents (Antarctica 4 times) and 253 countries on the Travelers’ Century Club list. I specialize in Asia, having traveled there extensively, and Africa, having been on safari more than 20 times. I lived in Egypt for several years and knew and loved the country well.
Cruising is one of the most beautiful aspects of travel, and I have been on 151 cruises and hosted 55 cruises for Virtuoso Voyager Club, including 5 World Cruises. I am eager to share my vast experience and welcome the opportunity to make travel special for my clients.
I’ve been booking travel for over ten years; while I can work on experiences worldwide, I have traveled extensively in Italy, Africa, the Caribbean, Mexico, France, the U.K., Greece, and the U.S. I tend to specialize in adventure-based itineraries and cruising. I think of travel as education itself; to experience the beauty, the culture, the taste and smell, and the magnificence of the world, you need to do it.
In some ways, it’s the best money you can invest. In these challenging times, it’s best to solicit a knowledgeable person who will help navigate the changing landscape that is happening daily. I planned an Ireland tour for a family of four, including different activities for each teenager (sports/music) and a dog/sheep exhibit because they’re all pet lovers. It was an overwhelming success. This is what I can do for you. I love giving back, and it’s so easy to incorporate volunteerism into an itinerary where you interact with the locals and help with different endeavors, i.e., help with bringing water to a village. “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill
With over 30 years of experience in travel and management services, I have visited the world’s top cities, luxury hotels, and exotic destinations many times. I have extensive cruise experience, including sailing on Silversea, Seabourn, and Regent. My passion is planning a true 5-star experience suited to your individual needs. I am detail-oriented, experienced, and a service-oriented advisor.
Whether planning a cruise, safari, or a city escape, I have the skills, knowledge, and resources to make your journey truly memorable.
I assist Marcia Hochberg in booking air travel for her corporate clients, hotels and resorts for leisure clients, and all other needs of Marcia’s clients.
I have traveled the world by land and sea. My clients rely on me to plan worry-free vacations. I work with all budgets and travel dreams.
What a lucky lady I am! I have been traveling since I was 20 years old and have been almost anywhere in the world that I have ever wanted to visit, definitely every continent. I love all of the “A” places the best! Asia, Africa, the Arctic, and all of the Americas. I love helping clients plan their dream trips and making their wishes a reality.
Born in Tel Aviv and raised in Hollywood, FL, I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor’s in Hospitality Management. I’ve had a passion for travel since I was a little girl when my parents started taking me on cruises around the Caribbean. Growing up in South Florida, I have been around the beach all my life, and the ocean’s vastness never ceases to amaze me.
. As I have gotten older, my curiosity has grown to explore other places in the world, especially Asia and Central and South America. One of my favorite accomplishments was hiking up a dormant volcano in Costa Rica with an incredible lagoon on top that I swam in. In my free time, you can find me scouring the Internet for exciting things to do in whatever place I may be curious about at the time. My friends always ask me, “Where are you off to next?” and I hope that I always have an answer to that question. My ultimate goal is to travel around the world and gain extensive knowledge so that I can come back and help you create great experiences with memories that will last you a lifetime. “I urge you to please notice when you are happy and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.'” – Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Traveling, whether as a family or as a couple, is my passion. I am thrilled to share that passion with others. I use my experience and the resources available to craft the best-tailored vacation for my clients. My husband and I make up a great team to handle any request. Let us help you with your next excellent dream adventure.
With a B.A. in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, Marcia embarked on her second career in the travel industry twenty-six years ago. She was fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel extensively in Europe, the Far East, and Asia because of her husband’s business involvement.
Due to this exposure, she has personal experiences to draw from when planning to travel to many foreign destinations. Marcia handles corporate and leisure accounts and has as much knowledge of independent travel as she does cruises and tours.
I was traveling for three months through Europe on $10/day after college was the beginning of my love affair with adventures in travel. Every day was full of wonder! Since then, my travels have always included a quest for the extraordinary. I view travel as an investment in our well-being. Nobody comes back from a journey untouched by the experience!
That is why I love helping others plan travel adventures – when you see the world through a new lens, step outside your comfort zone, experience new things, and meet new people, it challenges you to embrace the differences that make the world so colorful. Travel will enrich and invigorate you and is a beautiful gift you can give yourself and your loved ones! My passion is custom milestone/celebration travel for individuals and families. Whether it’s a big birthday, a honeymoon, an anniversary, a recent promotion, or a memorable family vacation, I can put together an itinerary to keep everyone happy. How about a bike/hike adventure in the U.S. or Ireland; a wine and food tour in Italy, Spain, France, or South America; a beach vacation in Hawaii, Mexico, or the Caribbean; or a multi-gen cruise to Alaska, Greece, or the Mediterranean? I offer extraordinary client service and pride myself on getting to know the hidden gems and special touches that can make a vacation personal, seamless, and unique. In this age of information overload, it is both intelligent and valuable to have a travel advisor who knows how to navigate through all the noise and find the perfect property, cruise, or tour that will help find you extraordinary!
One of my favorite travel quotes is, “Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.” When folks ask me what they should bring back from their travels, I tell them, “a good story!” Attention to detail is my strength, coming from a background in marketing and consumer connections.
My micro approach to travel planning feeds my need to dive into every element of your trip to make the right connections between you and your dream journey. Whether you have just a few vacation days or unlimited time for that longed-for trip, you want to live it, breathe it, and tell everyone your perfect story.
Dream. Explore. Discover. As a child growing up in New Jersey, I valued each and every family vacation we took and fell in love with traveling. I instilled that value into my own family, and exploring the world with our children became a top priority and has been the perfect blend of education and fun. Now, after 40+ years of traveling, it only seemed natural to pursue a career as a travel advisor.
As it is important to me to constantly keep updated on destinations and properties to provide my clients with the best information, I attend many seminars and study tours on a regular basis. I am passionate about helping clients plan their dream vacations, exploring the world, and making fabulous memories. Whether it is a quick weekend getaway, family vacation, or special occasion trip, I would love to assist you in planning your dream experience.
Moving to South Florida in 1993 from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I transferred to Miami from a subsidiary of TWA to working at Miami International Airport. With eleven years of service to TWA and only a brief separation after September 11th, in January 2002, I began my association with American Airlines. Having a combined service in the airline industry of approximately 22 years from 1990 until I retired in 2012 from American Airlines, I enjoyed all aspects of helping people in their travel.
With the potential as standby to fly anywhere in the world or domestically for free or at a reduced rate on A.A. and other Airlines, I have mostly focused my own travel domestically all over the United States, while my husband has taken advantage of international travel. Working 14 years at Post Haste Travel as Front Desk and now as an Office Manager, I understand more fully all the dedication and planning that the Travel Advisors put into creating rewarding and successful travel experiences. After a trip in December 2019 to one of our country’s many beautiful majestic National Parks, Yosemite, this quote made perfect sense: “Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.” If you’ve been thinking about a family trip or a couple’s adventure to one of many U.S. National Parks, stop hesitating and call Post Haste Travel to speak to one of our Specialists and begin your experience of Wow!
One of life’s greatest joys is traveling the world with those you love. I believe every trip brings the opportunity to create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. My favorite places include my destination wedding in Lake Como, Italy, and London, England. I look forward to helping you create cherished experiences through travel.
I grew up in the gorgeous city of St. Petersburg in Russia. When my younger sister and I were little, my parents brought us to some places, left us with some locals, and went hiking. Maybe, then my envy for travel was born. Being unable to budget my trips, I have completed the Water Travel Instructor’s training and started leading groups. My son wasn’t even one year old when I started tugging him along. After coming to the U.S., I was offered an opportunity to learn how to be a travel agent, and I seized the chance.
From that time on, for the last 26 years, I was arraigning some leisure, incentive, and most corporate travel. And I traveled the world myself but much less than I’d like to. My latest fascinating trips were to Australia (twice!) and to inspiring Peru. I can’t wait to be on the way to my next fantastic destination! There are so many places to explore still on my bucket list!
