With a rich tapestry of experiences and a profound understanding of the wanderlust that resides within each of us, Garla invites you to join her in creating personalized adventures that transcend the ordinary.
A Legacy of Wanderlust:
For over a decade, Garla served as the proud owner and operator of Tropical Travel of Tilton, a venture that became synonymous with unforgettable vacations and seamless travel experiences. The allure of distant horizons and the thrill of discovering new cultures propelled Garla to explore the world, building a reservoir of knowledge that forms the foundation of her travel expertise.
From Academia to Adventure:
Before venturing into the world of travel, Garla pursued a career in education for twelve enriching years. A graduate of Indiana University, she honed her skills in cultivating curiosity and fostering growth. The transition from education to the travel industry was a bold leap that showcased Garla’s adaptability and her commitment to exploring uncharted territories.
Navigating Challenges:
The travel industry faced unprecedented challenges during the Covid era, and Garla was not immune to the impact. In 2023, after much contemplation, she made the difficult decision to close the doors of Tropical Travel of Tilton. But after the dust had settled, Garla saw an opportunity to redefine her role in the travel landscape.
A New Horizon;
After a year-long hiatus, a deep-seated passion for travel continued to beckon Garla. Rather than returning to the traditional role of travel agent, she chose to pivot and embrace a new identity- that of a travel planner. This shift reflects Garla’s commitment to empowering clients, putting the reins in their hands while offering a guiding hand to shape their dreams.
