In this episode Madeline interviews Certified Travel Expert Cassie Tetro about how she started her successful travel planning business Montage Travel, how she built up her expertise, how she gets clients, and how she plans her trips.

 Cassie Tetro is travel advisor and self-confessed travel addict in a long-term love affair with Europe. She is based in Atlanta, was born in New York, and holds dual American and Italian citizenship (thanks to her great grandfather who was born in Italy!). As a travel consultant, it’s her job (and passion!) to build personalized itineraries for anyone looking to make the most out of their European vacations, based on their own interests, needs, and travel style.
