Gretchen DiNardo

My love of travel began as a child when traveling through different US states and Canada with my grandparents in their RV. As a teenager, I spent a year living in France through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program (RYE), where I became fluent in French and a culinary enthusiast. It was an incredible experience that made me want to continue to explore new places and share that experience with others. I went to school to obtain my AAS degree in massage therapy and then worked as an LMT in a spa at a Marriott property. I continued my studies to earn my BA in international business, where I spent a semester as an intern in the picturesque Loire Valley of France. Since then, I have become a Rotarian to help run the RYE program in my district and facilitate exchanges for high school students worldwide. As I learned about the different countries, my desire to discover new places and foods grew. I have visited several countries over four continents and chaperoned tours throughout Europe, the USA, and South America! My passion for travel and food led me to pursue a career in leisure travel. I enjoy the excitement of booking unforgettable experiences for others. Let me share my travel wisdom with you by booking with Sage Travel.
