Travel can be very personable

anthony — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:57:46 +0000

We help hundreds of people every day by providing great pricing and excellent service. Often times I will talk to those who are traveling and try to learn more about WHY they’re going on a trip and WHERE they are going. I love to hear about those going to help others in another country. However, by far my favorite situation is for those who are going to adopt a child from another country.

AFC Travel cares very deeply about those children being adopted and the parents who have made the decision to adopt. Why? I am adopted myself. Thirty-five years ago, I came from Seoul, South Korea. Also nearly 12-1/2 years ago, the president of AFC Travel, Erik Skoog, adopted twin girls from Seoul as well. So as you can see, adoption runs deep with the AFC Travel family.

We know first-hand that the expense of airfare can be overwhelming at times, but we also want you to know that we offer excellent discounted fares for international adoptions. I just talked to a man yesterday who had to go to Russia THREE times to secure their adoption, and he was so thankful that he learned about us. Please email me to learn more: anthony@afctravel.com.
