About Richard:
Passionate Traveler & Travel Advisor
Richard Pontbriand’s love for travel began at the age of 10 when he started exploring the world with his parents. His passion for adventure continued when he joined the U.S. Navy as a Machinist’s Mate, allowing him to travel extensively journeying halfway around the world and being stationed in Europe, where hopping on a train to explore new destinations became second nature.
After his military service, Richard built a fulfilling life, marrying and raising two daughters who are now married with families of their own. He is a proud grandfather of four and a great-grandfather of four.
Following a successful 23-year career at Walt Disney World, Richard realized his true calling—helping others experience the joy of travel. Now, as a dedicated travel agent, he uses his vast experience to assist people in planning their dream vacations, ensuring every journey is as magical and memorable as possible.
