Muguette's
background as an airline agent, tour guide
and travel agency professional has been
the key to her media success, resulting in
an ATA Travel Industry Founders Award in
Cape Town, South Africa two years ago. As
a "career globetrotter," Muguette's
articles for Air Highways and Africa
Travel Magazine have an authentic,
multicultural flavor, thanks to
painstaking research and the confidence of
having lived the experience (walked the
walk).
