Florence Lin
Florence is a newly minted travel advisor with AAA, but she has previously accumulated five years in the travel industry in other roles. She has also worked seven years in Japan, and it remains her "home away from home" that she visits on a yearly basis.
Her greatest passion is to inspire a love of travel and learning in others, based on her own colorful worldview and experiences.
