Who says you can't mix business with pleasure?
Not only is this Travel Partner an interesting person, she had an interesting concept for starting her own agency that has proven successful. This Philippine-born Canadian works as a Nursing Attendant in the Edmonton General Continuing Care Center in Alberta. It was through this demanding position that Teresita Lehmann realized that no one deserves a vacation more than her colleagues - hard working hospital employees. So, she did something about it, she started her own travel agency right there inside the hospital.
Teresita then went to gather all the knowledge she could about the travel industry and cruising specifically. She graduated from the University of WOW two years ago and has since successfully sold many Royal Caribbean cruises to her co-workers.
"I have no competition in Alberta," Teresita exclaimed proudly. "I'm the only travel agent in my hospital and the other nurses and diagnosticians love it. In fact, I've just booked two more groups this summer on Royal Caribbean."
Teresita is even known throughout Edmonton General as the "Why Not Lady" because she is always promoting her cruises with the line: "You need a break - Why Not vacation in the Nation of Why Not!"
Here's to you Teresita 'Why Not Lady' Lehmann, and all your innovative ideas - from the cruise line that prides itself on innovation, Royal Caribbean International®. Great going and great nickname!
