Ceera Machotka

Madison, WI

Bucket List Travel Specialist

I truly believe the phrase, "travel is the only thing we buy that makes us richer." To be able to travel the world and experience new things, there is no greater privilege. Let me eliminate any stress that can often times be associated with planning a trip. When you come see me, I will be your main contact from start to finish. I can assist with narrowing down a destination based on your likes and interests or I can help guide you to the best property or vacation package possible. I believe my organization, attention to detail and personal travel experience will all contribute to an unforgettable trip. Whether or not it be a family vacation, a friends getaway, a destination wedding or honeymoon, a luxurious trip away from home, a new and enlightening cultural experience or more. Let me help you check off that destination or experience on your bucket list.

My Travel Experience

A definite check off my bucket list! The Taj Mahal
A definite check off my bucket list! The Taj Mahal

I lived in Costa Rica for one semester in college. I stayed with a host family, took classes, and traveled with my classmates. Throughout the semester, I visited Nicaragua, and was able to also visit Panama twice. 

I have also travelled extensively throughout Europe, both on land and via a river cruise.

A few years ago, I did a 7 month trip around the world by myself. I visited Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and India. I planned everything on my own. 

Africa is also a favorite!

To date, I have visited 52 countries and counting. I try and make it a goal to visit at least 1 new country each year, if not more. Traveling, it leaves you speechless, and then turns you into a storyteller.

Alaskan Adventure
While we have not worked with a travel agent in the past, Ceera was very prompt in responding to any inquiry we made. Ceera was great to work with and we will contact her for any future tours.

Ceera was amazing! We were originally supposed to go on our vacation with another couple and unfortunately something came up for them. She worked so hard to make everything work out smoothly! I have nothing but gratitude for her!
