“Two of the greatest gifts we can give our children are roots and wings." –- Hodding Carter
Shari, the Owner of First Travel Service, was born in Lubbock, Texas. She was raised in the city near Dallas/Ft.Worth, but met the cattle rancher of her dreams and now lives in the quiet countryside hometown of Brownwood, where they are raising their family.
Shari chose this career because she loves traveling and absorbing diverse cultures. She recently enjoyed an invigorating trip to New Zealand, where she witnessed the most beautiful sunrise she has ever seen. Favorite destinations also include Africa, St. Croix, NYC and Japan.
When Shari is not at the office or traveling, you can find her watching her kids Clayton, and Sydney, playing high school sports. Shari enjoys ranching with her family, scuba diving, snow skiing, and “armchair” coaching the Texas Rangers or Texas Tech Lady Raider’s basketball team.
She would someday like to escort a trip to hike the ruins of Machu Pichu and is currently exploring possibilities in Iceland.

Jamie was born on an island in Southeast Alaska. She grew up in Alaska, and has lived all over the State. She visited Texas one day, and fell in love with the sunny days and bright starry nights. Shortly after the visit, she decided to trade in her snow shoes for some sandals! Jamie has been in the travel industry for 14 years. Her love for flying sparked her interest in her first job where she worked at the Anchorage airport. She loves to fly to the many secluded mountain regions, and ocean shores of Alaska. She currently specializes in Alaskan destination travel, and she escorts the Alaska “Doorstep Tours” trips every summer.
On her days off, you might find her watching hockey games or traveling to the ocean with her family for her next surf adventure. She hopes to someday surf Cloud Nine in the Philippines.

“I like seeing all kinds of places, experiencing the place I'm at, at the time. There are unique and interesting things and people everywhere. I'd like to see and do most of them. I can't think of a place that I would not go to if given the opportunity to see it.”-- Maria Saiz
