MEET THE TEAM

Bonnie is a "lifer" at NWA, she has worked in various departments and cities and traveled extensively to ski and enjoy Hawaii one of her favorite destinations. Bonnie will be in charge of our travel calendar, since she already has the craziest and most detailed calendar we have ever seen. In a sense we are taking advantage of the skill. She brings experience "27 years" of non-rev travel and energy to our team, and she is looking forward to her trip to Germany! Watch out low seniority people, Bonnie will always be at the top of the list!!!


Cindy is our head trip leader because prior to her 4 years at NWA she worked for an agency planning excursions. Cindy will play a crucial part in organizing every step once our planes hit the ground; she brings exceptional organization to the team. Her favorite destination is Cape Town, and she describes it like a mixture of San Fran, Halifax and Vancouver. She is looking forward to utilizing her strategic trip planning experience to take us to the top in this competition.

Daniela is our craziest team member and always accompanied by her even crazier husband. They travel so much that they rent their house out on the weekends since they are never home. Daniela is a master at non-rev and Dimitar is the rental car expert, from sports car to 15 passenger van these two can get you to any destination. Daniela favorite destination is any place she hasn't been yet! She is looking forward to Australia and running around Italy!

Megan is our team Captain and will keep everything under control; she will make sure each and every point is accounted for. Megan is adventurous and always up for a new challenge. Like Daniela, Megan is often accompanied by her competitive boyfriend Brandon who may be the best photographer we know. One of their favorite destinations is Cancun, Mexico…unfortunately it’s not on the list; we’re hoping she’ll like St. Martin just as much, and we know she is looking forward to a trip to Europe!

Danielle (me) what can I say I am passionate about travel and I love winning. When asked to join this team of wild women on a challenge of a life time that involved prizes, I didn’t have to be asked twice. I only bring a little over a year of NWA experience to the team but I am unattached and anticipate the next several weeks will be quite an adventure. My favorite place to travel is Spain, and I am looking forward to Barcelona!

I hope you enjoy following along with our adventure!
