Thank you for visiting my Travel Profile! My name is Alyssa J. Stevens, MA VTA. Long Island born and raised, I have been a Special Occasion Travel Advisor for approximately nine years though I have been traveling for more than 39, both domestically and internationally.
Athletic competitions during my adolescence allowed me to travel throughout the United States and study abroad as a young adult opened a world of international destinations during my college experience. Prior to joining the Travel Industry in 2015, I found myself working for the unique Study Abroad and Global Studies degree program that impacted my life years previously recruiting, advising, enrolling and even escorting students abroad for a decade.
Our international campuses traversed the globe and included stops in Australia, China, India, Japan, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and more! My study abroad experience through this exact program allowed me to share my experiences and encourage others to have their own transformational adventure! I continue to do so to date as an Independent Travel Advisor with a focus on special occasion travel for individuals and groups, of all ages, by air, land and sea!
This includes but is not limited to:
Weddings at Sea & Destination Weddings
Milestone Birthdays & Family Reunions
Vow Renewals & Anniversaries
Honeymoons & Babymoons
Bachelor & Bachelorette Getaways
Girls' Trips, Special Event & College Tour Travel
Bereavement Travel & more!
In all, I have visited two US Territories, three Continents, 39 Countries and 36 States plus our Nation's Capital! To say travel is my passion is an understatement. Some of the destinations I treasure include Costa Rica, England, Jamaica, Poland and Trinidad & Tobago!
My credentials include an undergraduate degree in Communications - Public Relations (BFA), a graduate degree in English - Teaching of Writing (MA), Travel Advisor Studies through the Travel Leaders of Tomorrow Program (TLOT) and a Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) designation from the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA). My most recent accolades include a Gateway to Excellence Award 2023-2024 for my outstanding work with my supplier partnerships and a ASTA Travel Advisor of the Year Award 2021-2022.
