About Travel Trends and Phyllis Murdock

It all started when…

at 5 years old I partnered with a neighbor friend, lowering clothes out of a window with a piece of string, to be packed into a Barbie doll case by my friend. Why you ask? Well what else? We were planning to hitchhike to Yosemite to see the bears!

As you can see, my curiosity and passion to see the world began early! And while I did not make it to Yosemite until many years later, that love of travel or wanderlust has never left me.

After a very successful career in public service in the field of Health and Human Services, the opportunity to return to the delights of exploring the world and helping others to do the same, inspired the birth of Travel Trends, in 2014; a business dedicated to advising clients on making the most of their travel desires.

I travel extensively every year to be sure I have the experience in destinations and with suppliers to give you the most up to date advice.

Travel is such a personal thing.

It really is all about you as an individual, and what your dreams and desires are for every trip you take. My goal with Travel Trends is to focus: on what you want, to pay attention to what you don't want, and to make your trip happen as smoothly as possible. But my ultimate goal is to also make your experience better than you imagined it could be.

“My husband and I have worked with Phyllis Murdock twice on two very different trips. The first was a 10 day tour of England, Paris and Rome - all I can say is fabulous! The tour services were excellent and all the hotels were top notch.”

“The second was a one week stay at a resort in Cabo San Lucas - easily the most relaxing vacation we've ever had. We look forward to our next trip and will most certainly be calling Phyllis!”
