    The travel advisors behind Suite Impressions Travel

    Annie Schlegel and Sharon Pogar travel advisors at Suite Impressions Travel

    Our Story

    Suite Impressions Travel was born from a simple belief: travel should be personal. Not a transaction at a booking engine, but a meaningful conversation between a knowledgeable advisor and an excited traveler.

    Founded by Annie Schlegel after 15+ years in the travel industry, Suite Impressions Travel (formerly Just Keep Traveling, LLC) has grown into a boutique travel agency that specializes in river cruises, ocean cruises, European travel, and premium resort vacations.

    Today, Annie and Sharon work together to deliver the kind of personalized, hands-on service that larger agencies simply can't match. When you work with us, you're not a booking number. You're a valued traveler with unique dreams, and we're here to bring those dreams to life.

    Please note: Suite Impressions Travel is an independent travel agency owned by Annie Schlegel. We are not affiliated with the Travel Impressions wholesaler brand.

    ASTA Verified Travel Advisor

    Travel has been Annie's passion for as long as she can remember. Her first international adventure to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico sparked a lifelong love for exploring the world.

    With 15+ years of experience, beginning at Liberty Travel where she grew into a Team Leader role, Annie brings invaluable knowledge and expertise to every trip she plans.

    Annie is a proud ASTA Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) and holds certifications from top travel suppliers including Hyatt Inclusive Resorts, Sandals, Globus and Avalon Waterways, and Royal Caribbean.

    Her supplier certifications include Sandals Certified Specialist, Hyatt Inclusive Collection Certified Specialist (covering Dreams and Secrets Resorts), AmaWaterways Certified Travel Advisor, Viking River Cruises Certified Travel Advisor, Avalon Waterways Certified Travel Advisor, Royal Caribbean Certified Travel Advisor, and Globus Certified Travel Advisor.

    She serves as an Ambassador for Envoyage and is part of the Flight Centre Family, continuing to stay deeply engaged with the travel community.

    Annie has been recognized as a featured speaker at the Envoyage Spotlight Event in December 2025, where she presented on the value of ASTA Verified Travel Advisor certification and what professional accreditation means for clients. In September 2025, she was selected to present at the Envoyage Lion's Lair at the worldwide Envoyage conference held in South Africa, pitching her business vision on an international stage. These recognitions reflect Annie's commitment not just to her clients, but to elevating the travel advisory profession as a whole.

    Sharon Pogar

    Travel Advisor

    Sharon started in the travel industry in 2015 as a travel advisor for Liberty Travel. Soon after starting, her desire to help others led her to become an Assistant Team Leader, training and leading a team of advisors.

    When the pandemic hit, Sharon embraced the opportunity to work remotely, sharing her years of experience with clients from all over the country.

    Now at Suite Impressions Travel, Sharon has the opportunity to focus on the areas of travel she's most passionate about, while providing the same customized, personal service her clients have come to expect.

    Her number one travel tip? "Get out and explore! Wherever you're traveling, find one thing to do or see that you'll remember forever."
