Hi, my name is Paul Schmeckenbecher and I live in Benton, Arkansas. I have been married for 11 years to my wife Kristin. I have been a firefighter for our capital city for 22 years and worked on an ambulance for 20 years. I always look forward to a less stressful vacation. Whether it is an all inclusive resort in Punta Cana, a Caribbean cruise, or a few days at Disney World, anything just to take my mind off the daily grind of life. So I decided to turn that love for travel into a career.

I have been a travel planner for Goldgell Getaways since January 2020. I started a career in the travel industry after my wife and I fell in love with all aspects of our personal vacations. We enjoyed learning from researching each destination and resort to help us narrow down our options. We enjoyed the challenge of planning a Disney World or Universal Studios trip. We found that every all inclusive destination offers something different. We learned that there’s so much more to planning a Disney or Universal Studios trip besides just a hotel room and park tickets. We also learned that flying is probably the most challenging of all to plan. Airport and airline fees and flight schedules might not make your closest airport your best option. Since becoming a travel planner we have also experienced the cruise line industry. From being in the Disney bubble at sea to Royal Caribbean’s amplified cruise ships to a dozen more cruise offerings, there is a cruise experience for anyone and everyone.

Being with Goldgell Getaways, I am part of a huge network of agents with vast knowledge for travel all over the world. That along with my personal experiences and training that I continue to expand, gives me the ability to provide my clients with great service and support.

I look forward to helping you plan your most memorable vacation.
