Pros

Danielle Kim Is amazing as well as her assistant Allora! They have continuously assisted me in locating travel contracts in this poor economic environment, even when the first time I used a different company she was kind and willing to jump in and help me with my next contract. She’s highly responsive, honest and encouraging. You can’t go wrong with letting her help you with your next contract!
