I miss traveling by train, where my earliest memories unfold between Philadelphia and Southeast West Virginia. One of my most cherished moments was when my family slept in a Pullman car, with my sister and I changing into pajamas before the train departed. Travel has always been my gateway to enriching cultural experiences. Riding in a horse-drawn carriage in Philadelphia, attending the first Tom Joyner Family Reunion at Disney, and sailing on the Tom Joyner Cruise. These adventures infused my life with joy and discovery. I consider myself a breast cancer scientist. I approach travel as a problem solver, using insights to help fellow travelers realize their dreams and enrich their journeys.

Assisting others with their travel adventures brings a unique joy to my heart. I hold dear my family's mantra, "work hard and play harder." Family vacations embody this philosophy, creating lasting memories that bring smiles and strengthen family bonds. For my 50th birthday, I organized a celebration, taking charge of travel arrangements for my relatives in the Northeast. Now living in Nashville, TN, I was proud to offer a historical tour during the celebration, receiving commendations for my narrations. This experience inspired me to embark on starting my own travel company. As an engaged community member, I recognize the need for caregivers to find a sanctuary for rejuvenation. My vision is to create this sanctuary through group travel, fostering a holistic lifestyle together from raw food preparation seminars to delightful family and friend cruises, complete with private parties and exclusive perks. While I appreciate value-filled, inexpensive trips, I believe service, comfort, and unique experiences elevate the journey. I embrace my role as a travel educator, inspired by the potential for growth in every one's travel experiences. We are all eternal students of life, always exploring and learning together.

My Reviews

My Amazing Caribbean Experience
I recently booked a fantastic Aruba getaway through Cheryl at AVMG Travel, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Planning a trip, especially to a popular destination like Aruba, can be overwhelming with so many options, but Cheryl made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Cheryl listened carefully to my preferences, from wanting relaxing beach days to exploring the island's unique attractions, and curated a trip that perfectly balanced both. She suggested some wonderful boutique hotels that were off the beaten path and offered a truly authentic Aruban experience. I especially appreciated her recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. Cheryl's attention to detail was exceptional. She provided me with all the necessary travel documents well in advance and offered helpful tips on everything from packing essentials to local customs. She even checked in with me during my trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. Her res

Greetings Saidah, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. AVMG Travel tries hard to please and put in that extra touch. Your trip was easy to plan because I have so many relatives that have summer homes in Aruba and have done an all-inclusive vacation for a group of New Yorkers who were recommended by one of my relatives. Please allow me to continue to be your VIP travel specialist and thank you for allowing me to win your business. Cheryl
