As a child I would say my fondest memories are traveling to the New Jersey shore and enjoying family beach time. Recently I traveled to our Honduras project and loved every minute of it, including the heat!

What is your favorite travel memory?
If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?
This is a really tough question because ABV offers so many great options. Aside from Honduras, I was at the orphanage in Belize, and that was wonderful. I love children and any of the orphanage programs would be a great experience.
I also love animals and am really keen to go to Costa Rica and join our Sea Turtle Conservation program.
What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?
There are so many things that make ABV unique. The Spanish immersion lessons and host family accommodations are just a few.
One of my favorite things is the flexibility offered to our volunteers.
I was especially proud of the ABV team when were able to pitch in to provide school sponsorship to 15 children in our school project in Mukono Uganda.
What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?
In order to be a successful company I believe you need to be professional, well-organized, offer excellent value for low cost, and have happy, genuine, caring employees.
