Curriculum
Vitae: |
Brigitta Ammann is a long-time member of the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce. With the Travel Business as her Life’s “Calling”, Brigitta worked for a Norwegian Travel Wholesaler in San Francisco for 8 years, took a job in Switzerland as a Representative to the Retail Travel Trade with Singapore Airlines, before joining Jason Travel, Inc. in San Francisco, eventually leading to her becoming the sole owner of the company. After downsizing in 2001 she now operates Jason Travel from a home office: “My LOVE has always been the travel industry. My special favor being Adventure Travel, going where few tread or where one ‘hardly goes’. Having visited over 100 countries gives me the opportunity of advising clients from a personal perspective”.
Over the past years, she has taken small groups on self-designed tours and cruises, including the total route of the Trans-Siberian Express – even swimming in icy Lake Baikal. New adventures are posted on her website. |
