An Interview With Sylvie Trahan
How many years have you been selling travel?
I graduated from Cambrian College in May of 1991 from the Travel Counselor course. I worked for 3 years at Goligers Travel, where I was able to travel on a cruise from New York to Bermuda. After 3 years I changed agencies to work at AirSea Travel. AirSea Travel had a different mix of clients and this gave me the opportunity to work in corporate travel, such as the Federal Government travel arrangements. I was with AirSea for 2 years. In December 1995, the owner of Marlin Travel in my home town of North Bay offered me a position and I have been there ever since.
My position at Marlin Travel went from part time vacation agent to full time corporate/vacation sales agent. Over the years I have had the pleasure of travelling to Las Vegas, Cuba, Barbados, St Lucia, Jamaica, Nassau and Puerto Plata.
