When Orit Topf took a part-time job as a travel consultant at her university in Israel, she never dreamed of what was to come. She enjoyed it so much that she earned her degree in travel, and became a travel agent in 1982. In 1990, she moved to California, joining World Express Travel in 1995. Orit brought her passion for Israel with her, and vowed to “bring Israel to as many people” as she could.

“I like to help people every step of the way to ensure that they have the best possible time on their trip, regardless of the country they visit,” says Orit. “I absolutely love to see Israel through the eyes of others. Each passenger sees Israel in a different way, and as such, each trip is unique and extremely rewarding.” Orit often accompanies groups to Israel to ensure that everything goes as planned. Though Orit acknowledges that there are many online booking agencies available, she’s confident that a computer is no substitute for the personal touch. “If something goes wrong with your trip, and our services are utilized, there’s always someone to talk to – someone to fix it,” she says.

Orit is the President and CEO of World Express Travel. She is married and has two children. She currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
