Barbara Fierstein, Travel Advisor previously with Rosenbluth Vacations

I am married with three adult children, two married with a total of four grandchildren and two grand puppies! I am fortunate that everyone is local to us in Philadelphia and the suburbs. I love my work and the many warm and appreciative clients who I have forged long relationships with over the years. I enjoy theater, reading (don't do it enough), cooking and playing canasta. I'm a loyal fan of all Philadelphia sports teams! And I love surfing the internet.

What do you love about travel?

I love exploring new destinations and immersing myself in local culture.

My background is in education and I always had a passion for travel. Back in 1993 my travel agent helped me get into the industry with Rosenbluth Vacations and I never looked back.

What has been your favorite trip?

I probably have two favorites. We go to Turks and Caicos every November, where we meet our friends for total R&R. There is nothing like the magnificent aquamarine sea to decompress and relax.

Israel had been a meaningful journey for many reasons - the history, the vibrant culture and extension to visit Petra were full of memorable experiences that I treasure.
