Debi White, owner of My Travel Consultant likes to say that life is too short to take a bad trip. Specializing in leisure travel, she prefers to work with clients with higher-end expectations for cruising, safaris and world travel. You can rest assured the trip she’ll plan for you will be a memorable experience. 

​

Whether your dream vacation is a riverboat cruise, small ship cruise, weekend getaway, family vacation, African safari, European vacation, or other exciting travel experience, Debi can plan your trip from start to finish. Or, if you need help with only a portion of your trip such as finding a hotel, making reservations for a sight seeing experience, or just need assistance with air travel, Debi can arrange those specifics for you.

​

Debi is not your typical travel agent. She goes beyond simply taking direction from clients on what to book. Rather, Debi spends time talking with her clients and getting to know them so she can find what will work best for their vacation needs and wants. Because she’s been in the travel industry for over 17 years, she has acquired a great deal of knowledge and resources for products and destinations that can be difficult to find online. Plus, Debi is expert at saving clients both time and money. 

​

Debi has been a member of Mt. Diablo Business Women for over ten years, including serving on the board of directors for many years, including as co-president. She says she enjoys the relationships she’s developed with the group’s professional women. She has gained business from the group and referred others to women in the group, but she emphasizes that MDBW is more than just business—there’s also camaraderie among the members. 

​

When Debi is not planning trips for her clients, she enjoys reading, spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and of course traveling extensively throughout the world.
