Annette Niewind, Paynesville, opened a new business in town, Paynesville Travel. A graduate of McConnell Travel Inc., Minneapolis, she has worked in hotels and motels for the past nine years, most recently as manager of Country Inn.
Wanting to be her own boss, relatives suggested she open a travel agency in Paynesville. Paynesville Travel is located within Paynesville Video on James Street. Niewind said it provides her a place to put out travel brochures. "A person doesn't need to be planning a trip to pick up a brochure," Niewind said. "A person can always dream about trips."
Paynesville Travel is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and by calling for an appointment at other times, 320-243-4880 or 1-877-399-0562.
Niewind is affiliated with World Travel Management out of Ohio. She is able to plan trips for people around the world or at home in their own backyard of Minnesota, be it a camping and fishing trip up north or a weekend trip elsewhere.
Niewind is a Paynesville Area High School graduate. She is a member of the Paynesville Jaycees and likes to read, travel, spend time with her friends, and watch water sports.
