About Me
I'm Mercy Matthews, founder of Gifted Hands Travel Agency. I specialise in creating seamless, meaningful travel experiences tailored to your needs. Whether you're planning a luxury getaway, a family vacation, or a mission trip, I handle every detail with care, professionalism, and excellence.
My Story
Travel has always been more than a business to me — it is a calling. Growing up with a deep appreciation for different cultures and a faith that drives me to serve others, I founded Gifted Hands Travel Agency to bring that same spirit of purpose to every trip I plan. Whether you are dreaming of a honeymoon in the Maldives, a family reunion in the Caribbean, or a mission trip to Africa, I am here to make it happen seamlessly.
As a graduate of Grand Canyon University and a Certified Travel Advisor, I bring both academic expertise and years of hands-on experience to every itinerary. I have personally explored many of the destinations I recommend, which means my advice is rooted in real knowledge — not just brochures. I know which resorts truly deliver on their promise, which airlines offer the best service, and which local guides will make your experience unforgettable.
My clients include families planning their first international vacation, corporations managing complex multi-destination business travel, church groups organising faith-based mission trips, and couples celebrating milestone occasions. Whatever your travel need, my approach is always the same: listen carefully, plan meticulously, and deliver with excellence.
“We Pray, We Relax, We Deliver Excellence.”
That is the Gifted Hands promise — and it is one I stand behind with every booking, every itinerary, and every trip. I am not just your travel agent. I am your travel partner, and I am committed to making every journey meaningful.
