I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!

I had the best time on our Christmas trip to the Biltmore House, King Tut. Our accommodations were perfect. I recommend this trip to everyone. Patty is the absolute best in planning everything for us. I can't wait to go on another trip that Patty has planned.

This was a great trip. The itinerary was terrific, as were the an accommodations. Patti and Doris were excellent in handling all aspects of the trip.

Great time! My Wilmington friends were so impressed with the super itinerary and how Patty handles everything with a smile! We are excited about 2026!!

Great trip I would go again if this trip comes up again-I had a great time with the people on the bus and the garden was a mazing

The trip to Biltmore was fun, amazing and quite jovial!! Patty had the trip very very organized and, while the venue was packed, we were always nicely booked and everything ran smoothly. The hotel was a nice choice; clean, friendly, comfortable. The only weak point (for us) was the viewing of the King Tut exhibit. Amazing display... just not enough time to enjoy all the history. Perhaps we could have been better prepped on 'the movie" prior to the real exhibit. Too many people to wade thru. But great display! Thank you .
