From 2000, I began working in the traveling industry every winter season for Danish traveling agencies as a golf pro, representative and destination manager. In 2002, my travels took me to the Dominican Republic, where I settled down and bought Palmera Travel together with my wife, Rawnie Hansen. As the years went by, our company grew and expanded into Group Palmera. Today, we specialize in offering luxury vacation rental properties and customizing vacation packages for travelers from around the world.
