About Saralynn Turner
People look at me like I am from outer space when I tell them that I have a PADI Recreational Dive Facilty (Easy Divers #24275) and a Leisure Travel Agency (The Travel Planner, Inc.) travel business in Memphis. They seem to think I must have a little water on the brain to pick such a landlocked area for a business that revolves around water, although a fabulous International Airport does seem to help the travel options!
As the least likely student to even complete my Memphis State Scuba class, the idea of becoming self employed as a scuba instructor was the furthest thing from my mind as I completed my degree in International Business. I had it all planned out (or so I thought), I would work for a big multinational corporation, have a fine selection of dress for success suits, and travel the world over making my mark. And I became a Travel Planner by default when I realized that we have to go SOMEWHERE else for our adventures.
Curiously enough, the universe has a fine sense of humor! I have what I call a multi-dollar company, own a fine selection of swimsuits, and wetsuits, many sets of fine luggage and I get to travel the world over with a fine group of travelers in tow. This is not exactly what I planned, but it is ten times better than what I would have ever visualized for myself. My advice for true happiness is to do what you love, and love what you do!
