Is that even a thing still?
If you’re like me, I had no idea travel advisors (or travel agents) were even a thing anymore. Imagine my surprise when I found out they do exist, and that it was a huge benefit to use one!
The most basic answer is that I help you plan your vacation. In actuality, there’s a lot more to it than that. We start by talking about what you want for your vacation. Where you want to go, when, what you don’t want, and what is most important to you and your family for your trip. Travel is personal, so you get personal attention and service to find the best ideas for your family!
My job is to listen to you, really listen, and use my knowledge and expertise to help find the vacation that’s going to be the perfect fit for you and your family. Because let’s be honest, vacations are not one size fits all. What works for one family may not work for another family, even if on paper it seems like it should.
With all of the details I gather from hearing you share, I narrow down and customize your options and present them to you in a quote so you can see what each option could look like, and what it would cost. Once you decide your perfect vacation, I book it for you and organize all the details of your itinerary.
Even before you travel, I keep an eye on your itinerary, and if I see promotions or special pricing could be applied, I am on top of those to make sure you get the absolute best value for your vacation. You don’t have to use up your precious time or head space to keep track of it, I’ve got you covered!
You get to sit back, relax, know that you have an advocate on your side taking care of all the small details of your trip!
I walk you through the planning, I’m there to support you to make sure your travel goes smoothly, and I’m there checking in with you after your vacation, too.
One of the questions that I was most curious about when I found out travel advisors were still a thing. Travel advisors get paid via commission from the hotels and resorts that you travel to. They bake the cost of travel advisors into their rates, whether or not you use one! My planning services are complementary when you book through me. You get my personal touch and expertise every step of the way!
Let’s be real, sometimes travel can be stressful. Especially when you are traveling as a family. You’re already juggling a million things in everyday life, from school schedules, to keeping up at home, balancing work, trying to keep your laundry from overflowing- just basic life. You know that you want to take time to travel as a family and be together. You want to make memories together and truly connect. But the thought of researching, narrowing down and planning that vacation can sometimes be incredibly overwhelming. I know there are times where I had no idea where to even start.
That’s where I come in. My goal is to take that stress and overwhelm off of your shoulders. All the questions you’re wondering about, the options to narrow down, the endless possibilities- I use my experience and help you hone in on what you truly need, to help you find the option that’s right for your family in your unique season of life.
If you want to be able to take a deep breath, close the extra tabs on your browser (and in your mind), and know that you are taken care of, I would love to help you plan your vacation. I want you to be able to enjoy your vacation because I have already taken care of the details for you. You just pack your bags, get to your destination, and connect with your family.
That’s the special magic of having a travel advisor in your corner!
