Valerie O’Connell

With three decades in the travel industry, Valerie O'Connell epitomizes the spirit of adventurous exploration. As one of the proud owners of Travel Adventures Unlimited for over 20 years, she has traversed all seven continents, offering firsthand insights and unparalleled expertise to her clients. Valerie's notable journeys include the breathtaking landscapes of South Africa, the icy mysteries of Antarctica, and the vibrant cultures of Japan and China.

Her heart, however, finds its rhythm aboard luxury cruises, especially on ships like Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Seabourn, and Princess. Yet, her ultimate "happy place" is the idyllic French Polynesia, cruising on the Paul Gauguin and basking in the tranquility of overwater villas in Bora Bora. Though retired as a travel advisor, Valerie remains actively involved with the agency, continuing to inspire and guide Travel Adventures Unlimited with her passion and expertise.
