Preferred Travel & Company welcomes Stephens as travel advisor

Preferred Travel & Company, a family owned and operated full-service travel agency headquartered in Naples, announced the appointment of Allana Stephens as Travel Advisor. In this role, she will personally assist clients in designing their dream vacations.

“We are pleased to add Allana to our growing team of professionals,” said Olga Placeres, President of Preferred Travel & Company. “She thrives on discovering the untraveled roads of a destination, finding joy in the unexpected and connecting deeply with local cultures through their people, food, music and traditions. This insight and expertise make her a valuable addition to our team.”

Stephens’ journey in the travel industry began in 2009 but her passion for exploration was sparked much earlier, nurtured by childhood adventures with her parents. A native of South Africa, her roots run deep in the landscapes and cultures of the continent, which remains close to her heart.

Over the years, Stephens has ventured across the globe—from Europe to India and Ecuador and further. Yet Africa has always been her specialty. She spent many years crafting unforgettable safari experiences across the continent, sharing its magic with travelers from all walks of life.
