Charlene Richmond - Magical Trips by Charlene

I’ve had a passion for travel for as long as I can remember! It wasn’t until I joined Travel Professionals International as an Independent Travel Advisor and the Magical Trips Team that I truly turned that passion into my career. 

For me that passion is Destination Weddings. I had my own destination wedding at Sandals Antigua and subsequently renewed my vows there. During that time I came to realize how special a destination wedding can truly be! It's a time that you celebrate with your closest friends and family, reconnect with those you may not have seen in a while, and the best part is, when you choose the right resort, you can really just relax and enjoy your big day, because the professionals will take care of everything! . I have completed courses to become a Destination Wedding and Honeymoon Specialist and a Sandals Weddingmoon Specialist (SWS).

I have traveled extensively, and being a mother, I also have a passion for family vacations - some of my most cherished memories are from vacations at Beaches Turks and Caicos, Beaches Negril, Disney World and on Disney Cruises - all of which I highly recommend! I have been on three of the Disney cruise ships and will sail with them again.

I make annual trips to Uganda to orphanage; this started out as a one time trip, but the children certainly touched my heart and soul - a life changing experience! 

I have achieved my designation as a Certified Travel Counselor (CTC) and annually update my certifications with my supplier partners, including the Disney Travel Company, Sandals and Beaches Resorts, Royal Caribbean International, Princess Cruise Line, AMA Waterways and others. 

I make a point of doing site inspections of many of the Destination Wedding locations I recommend to my bridal couples; as I want to ensure I offer the best service possible. 

We have a beautiful world to discover; allow me to plan your magical getaway with the personalized service that you deserve!
