Sarah Nowak with Marks Travel And Tourism
Our Story
Hi, I’m Sarah, a Travel Advisor with Marks Travel and Tourism and Dream Vacations. I help travelers create unforgettable experiences on land and at sea. Whether it’s a relaxing escape, a milestone celebration, or a full‑scale group adventure, I make every step feel effortless. I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, and I’ve always loved exploring new places and capturing meaningful moments through photography. Becoming a travel advisor allowed me to blend my passions for travel, creativity, and helping people make memories that matter. I can book anything under the sun, but I specialize in group travel of all kinds. Friends’ trips, family vacations, corporate retreats, hobby groups, and music‑themed sailings are some of my favorite experiences to design. I love watching how travel brings people together, whether they arrive as lifelong friends or meet for the first time on an incredible journey. Outside of planning trips, I’m a coffee lover, a sushi enthusiast, and a proud cat mom to Monty, Theo, and Maya. My mission is to help people live fully, travel boldly, and experience the world in ways they’ll never forget.
Whether you're traveling with friends, family,
