Peggy A. Fischer – President/Owner

I can’t believe that Shooting Star Travels is turning 30 years old this year!!! I have seen so many changes in the way travel works over the years and have enjoyed so many wonderful memories and made tons of friends along the way.

I have had the support of wonderful people to get where I am today and I am thankful for every friend, past employee, current employee, all family members and of course our clients! We couldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the support of our travel community and for those who have continued to use the agency and recommend us to their family and friends. I thank all of you for allowing me to be a small part in all of your memories and dreams and special celebrations.

Looking forward to whatever new adventure awaits!

Yuki & Rafi – Office Dogs

Yuki is a playful 3-year-old Black Lab with a curious spirit. She loves to keep an eye on the goings-on around the office and a sunny spot to relax in. Yuki’s friendly and loves meeting new people, though she may greet you with a bark at first – just give her a treat, and she’s your best friend!

Rafi, our 3-year-old Yellow Lab, is the office’s laid-back, lovable companion. He spends most of his days lounging in the office, always ready to offer a wagging tail and a big smile to anyone who stops by. Rafi is a true people-dog, always happy to offer affection and bring a little joy to the office atmosphere.

Both Yuki and Rafi are an important part of our team, adding plenty of love and warmth to our work environment!

Debbie Schildkraut – Personal Travel Consultant – Independent Contractor

With over 35 years of experience in the travel industry, my journey began in the skies as a former flight attendant. That early passion for exploration naturally transitioned into a career as a travel advisor, where I’ve dedicated decades to turning travel dreams into reality.
Throughout the years, I have built an extensive portfolio rooted in personal, hands-on experience. This deep-seated knowledge, combined with a commitment to my loyal clients, allows me to curate journeys that are as seamless as they are inspiring. I am incredibly proud that much of my business is built on referrals; it is a testament to the fact that I treat every vacation as a unique journey, ensuring it is just as important to me as it is to you.
I truly believe that “We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” Whether you are looking for a complex international itinerary or a relaxing getaway, I do my best to ensure your next adventure is unforgettable!

Christina Gara – Personal Travel Consultant – Independent Contractor

I’m a Travel Consultant who has spent the past year turning travel ideas into well-planned, unforgettable trips. I have a genuine love for travel, food, and experiencing new cultures, and I enjoy learning destinations inside and out so I can better serve my clients.

I work closely with each client to design curated vacations, getaways, and adventures, with a strong focus on communication, organization, and care. My goal is to make every client feel confident, excited, and completely taken care of throughout the planning process.

When I’m not helping clients, I’m usually planning my own travels—whether that’s exploring National Parks or discovering new cities with my husband and our daughter. [email protected]  414-530-9929
