Cynthia Bickerstaff
Scottsdale, Arizona Travel Agent
Luxury Travel Advisor
With over 23 years of travel industry experience in high luxury travel, I offer a wide range of expertise. My passion is travel and I put together trips that my clients ask for but I also suggest elements that will enhance their experience. I enjoy all aspects of the booking process; from the initial conversation to gather details and expectations of the trip, to doing the research of experiences and destination information, to engaging industry partners to turn a trip idea into a curated journey. Wanderlust is 'real' and every inquiry is exciting and enjoyable to work on. I book all aspects of luxury travel- air travel, cruises, tours, villas, private jets, and bespoke vacations. Let me help you live your bucket list and discover the world in style. I reside in Monument, CO.
