Luxury Travel Advisor

Connie Moody is a seasoned senior luxury travel advisor with an impressive career spanning since 1985. With over three decades of experience in the industry, Connie has developed a deep passion for creating extraordinary travel experiences for her clients, specializing in luxury and personalized journeys.  She also has designed several multi-generational tours and cruises which leave families with forever memories to cherish for a lifetime.

One of Connie's most cherished trips was a safari adventure to Kenya and Tanzania. With two game drives a day, she had the incredible opportunity to witness the majestic wildlife, seeing all of the Big Five animals in their natural habitats. Staying at the renowned Four Seasons Serengeti and various camps, Connie enjoyed the utmost comfort and unparalleled access to the breathtaking landscapes of Africa. The trip was made even more memorable by the local guides and the chance to visit a school where Tauck was involved in supporting the students through various projects.

In 2013 and 2014, Connie put together a remarkable Route 66 tour from Chicago to Santa Monica. This two-part journey showcased the iconic landmarks and hidden gems along the historic route. From visiting Abraham Lincoln sites in Springfield, Illinois, to exploring the grandeur of the Grand Canyon and staying at refurbished historic hotels, Connie curated an immersive and unforgettable experience for her group of travelers.

A recent highlight from Connie's travels was a trip to Rendezvous on the Seine with Tauck. During this journey, she spent a day in Normandy, visiting the historic beaches and the American cemetery. Reading the names on the tombstones and grasping the enormity of the loss of life makes for a moving, emotional day.  It’s been a privilege for me to visit several sites and museums focused on World War II including Normandy, but also Corregidor, battle sites in Southeast Asia, Japan and Europe, London’s Imperial War Museum, and Singapore. 

Connie's best travel advice is to allow ample time for connections when flying. She emphasizes that a legal connection may not always be feasible, and unexpected delays or confusion at airports can cause unnecessary stress. By giving yourself extra time, you can navigate through airports comfortably, usually claim your luggage at your final destination as planned, and ensure a smooth travel experience.

While Connie has been fortunate to have traveled to 120 countries, her dream trip is to return to Southeast Asia including a visit to Laos, to explore the rich cultural heritage and natural wonders of this captivating, yet little-known country.

With Connie Moody as your senior luxury travel advisor, her extensive knowledge and passion for exploration plus her attention to detail will ensure that every aspect of your journey will flow seamlessly, and her enthusiasm will inspire you to fulfill your travel dreams too.
