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!

Patty is very well organized. Plenty of info before the trip. Unexpected snacks and water on the bus was a nice perk. The list of lunch options allowed us some preplanning prior to getting to town. Great job Patty!👏

The trip was well organized, as usual. We had time for a nice lunch and the play was great - just not fantastic. That is not Patty's fault. I just didn't get "moved" by it. Thanks, Patty!!
