About Debbie:

             "Any one can book a vacation,

           but I'm here to help you plan one"

             

Remember a travel agent will save you time and stress. A travel agent have access to deals that you won't find online.   And the best reason to use a travel agent is it is no cost to you.

 My name is Debbie Hayes. I am the proud owner of Putastic Travel, a full-service travel agency specializing in group and family travel. With a passion for helping others create unforgettable memories, I am  dedicated to designing seamless, personalized vacations tailored to each client’s unique interests and travel style.
Before entering the travel industry, I spent over 50 years in the medical field, working in front office administration, physician billing, and quality review for an emergency room physician group. My  decades of experience developed exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to customer service—qualities I now brings into every trip I plan.
💙 Family is at the heart of everything I do. Married to my husband Kevin for nearly 43 years, I am a proud mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who deeply understands the importance of meaningful family experiences and multigenerational travel.
🚢My own personal travel experiences have fueled my love for vacation planning. I have cruised with Disney, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, and Virgin Voyages, and has traveled internationally on multiple mission trips. My adventures include sailing from England and an upcoming cruise departing from Germany.
✨ What truly sets me apart is my passion for detailed travel planning and research. I enjoy creating carefully organized itineraries, including pre- and post-cruise stays, transportation planning, port research, and sightseeing schedules that maximize every moment of a trip. My ability to thoughtfully organize vacations helps clients travel with confidence and enjoy stress-free experiences from start to finish.
📚 Outside of travel, I enjoy reading historical fiction—especially World War II novels—watching college and professional sports, and cheering on my favorite team, TCU. I am is also deeply involved in her community through volunteer work with Reading Buddies and First Tee of Fort Worth, where I help mentor and encourage children both academically and through life skills development.
Whether planning a family cruise, group getaway, international adventure, or carefully customized itinerary, I am  passionate about helping my clients create lasting memories while making the planning process simple, smooth, and enjoyable.
