Meet Sue!

Susan Becks – Travel Advisor & Founder

 

Your personal planner and the founder of Footsteps World Travel is Sue Becks. A lifelong adventurer, she has never let the grass grow beneath her feet. After attending college, Sue and her husband Paul hit the road. They had the great fortune to live in multiple cities on both the West and East coasts prior to returning home to her beloved Ohio.

While successfully raising three kids, Sue instilled in them the passion for travel and loved showing her family the wonders of the world. And she and Paul expanded her family by hosting seven Rotary Youth Exchange students from all parts of the world. The Becks have then visited these lifelong friends in their home countries, presenting their family the unique opportunity to experience the local life and culture from a native perspective.

From Paris, to Dubai to cruising the Caribbean … Sue believes every getaway is a learning experience. Thanks to her intrepid nature and her enthusiasm to embrace new cultures, she has been blessed to be able to travel the world for more than 30 years.

This passion for worldly adventures led Sue to create Footsteps World Travel so that, in turn, she can help you to learn more about the many wonders and fascinating cultures of the world that we all live in.
