Meet Maria Northcott, the heart and soul of Steward and Porter Travel. Her journey into the travel industry was as serendipitous as the travels she plans. It took a spark at the tender age of 18, while working as a reservations agent at a ski resort in Park City, and a bolt of lightning realization decades later in 2020 to finally embark on her dream to become the travel agent she is today.

Steward and Porter Travel isn't just a name; it's a throwback to an era where travel was synonymous with elegance and impeccable service. It's where the heavy lifting is done for you, and you're transported – quite like royalty – through an effortless, worry-free journey.

With 26 countries stamped on her passport, Maria confesses that Greece holds a special place in her heart – a testament to the wondrous marriage of scenic beauty, cultural richness, and the unparalleled warmth of its people.

When the suitcases are tucked away, Maria finds joy in the simplicity of life in Maine. With three kitties, a love for literature, a passion for fitness, and the tranquility of home comforts, she embodies the spirit of a world wanderer who treasures her roots.

Her sage advice for travelers: embrace flexibility. The mantra "it is what it is" can turn potential travel tribulations into treasured tales.

For those itching to craft their own escapades or simply want to start a conversation with this kindred spirit of travel, an email to [email protected] is the beginning of your next great journey.

Maria's expertise is not just in the logistics of travel, but in weaving experiences that resonate with the soul.

Now, with the world as our oyster and Maria as our guide, the question isn't 'if' we should go, but rather 'when'.

"Maria was so easy to work with and somehow managed to give us exactly what we were looking for on our honeymoon while staying completely within the budget we discussed. She kept us on the ball in terms of our travel and what was needed for the countries we were visiting, and she even helped us check in the night before our flight home when we ran into issues doing it on our end. She is enthusiastic and tireless and we are so grateful to her for all her hard work to give us the most wonderful vacation." -Kathleen
