Meet Despina Makris

at Envoyage in Oyster Bay, New York

About Me

With a background in business and sales, I found my true calling in the travel industry, blending a lifelong passion for exploration with a wealth of professional experience. Since 2013, I have been helping others experience the world, starting my journey at Liberty Travel before becoming an independent travel agent in 2021. My love for travel began at age 9 when I visited family in Greece, and it has since become a lifelong pursuit.

Traveling is more than just a career—it's a way of life for me. Whether learning about new cultures, savoring unique cuisines, or embracing unforgettable experiences, I thrive on discovering what makes each destination special. Outside of work and travel, I enjoy unwinding at the beach, participating in book clubs, nature walks, and attending trivia and game nights. I am also a connoisseur of cool coffee, tea and brunch spots, always on the lookout for hidden gems.
