Barbara Manley has always enjoyed planning travel for her family and friends. When a travel agent friend asked her to see if the industry was a good fit, she jumped in wholeheartedly and, after a few years, became one of her top-producing Associates. That’s when Barbara partnered with her husband, Steve, to open a Dream Vacations franchise—Manley Vacations.
“I have been assisting clients with their vacation plans for six years,” says Barbara. “Travel is complicated these days. As a Travel Specialist, I provide our clients with customer support and assistance beginning with the planning process all the way through to their return home. We have experience in different travel destinations, and work with trusted and vetted travel suppliers to put together the right vacation packages for our clients.”
Barbara and Steve are active travelers themselves, having been to many wonderful locations across the globe. They loved visiting places like Alaska and South Africa, both for their animals and the unique destinations. They recently took a river cruise on the Rhine River during the Holiday Markets, where they enjoyed exploring the history at each stop.
