Lucy Rudgard
- Oceans and Islands Travel Specialist
- San Diego Office
I have spent the majority of my career in the Travel Industry specializing in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, South Pacific and Central America. There is nothing better than relaxing on a private tropical beach in the Seychelles, enjoying creole food & vibrant music of Jamaica or living amongst the unique wildlife and natural wonders of Costa Rica.
Since moving to California with my young family in 2010 I have had the opportunity to experience many of the incredible National Parks of the USA – My favorite has to be the Highline Hiking Trail of Glacier National Park in Montana ending with a refreshing swim in one of the many glacier lakes. Our family vacations have recently included camping in Joshua Tree National Park climbing the rugged rock formations, feeding the sheep at a working farm in Colorado and mountain biking near Moab surrounded by massive red rock formations and Native American rock art.
I love to inspire others with my travel experiences and cannot wait to introduce you to new adventures and unique vacations.
