WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF WORKING WITH A TRAVEL ADVISOR? 

Travel advisors still play a crucial role in the travel industry, and their expertise and services continue to be highly valuable to clients. While technology has made it easier for travelers to book certain aspects of their trips online, travel advisors bring first-hand knowledge, a high touch experience, unmatched connections around the world, and in-destination support. 

WHY DO YOU CHARGE A PLANNING FEES? 

By charging a planning fee, I can honor my time upfront and dedicate the necessary attention to detail to curate a personalized itinerary tailored to your preferences. My goal is to save you time, provide you with peace of mind, and ensure a seamless trip from start to finish. My planning fees are calculated based on the complexity of the trip and they are intended to ensure your trip is tailored perfectly to your vision. 

DO YOU GET BETTER RATES THAN IF I BOOKED MYSELF? 

My goal is to ensure that you have the best experience possible. There are many times that I do have access to negotiated rates, but the real value is in how I can save you time, stress and frustration either prior to traveling or while actually in the destination.

I LOVE PLANNING! CAN WE STILL WORK TOGETHER? A lot of the fun is researching and creating anticipation for the destination before traveling. As a travel agent, my goal is to enhance your travel experience and provide you with expert advice, personalized recommendations, and insider knowledge that you may not find on your own. I consider this a collaborative experience. However, I do offer consultation calls (Option B) at a rate of $125/hr to pick my brain! 

DO YOU DO ALL-INCLUSIVES OR CRUISES? At this time, I work with a select few cruise lines and All-Inclusive resorts. These resorts and cruises have been vetted and meet the highest standard of excellence in the industry. I do not offer the all-inclusive package deals (air + hotel) that are commonly seen on Facebook, Instagram, etc. Often those "deals" are high promise, low delivery and leave clients highly disappointed. I am not in the business of disappointing you! 

DO YOU WORK WITH VRBO AND/OR AIRBNB I do not work with properties that are individually managed. I am unable to stand behind the quality of individually owned properties. If you are looking for options with shared space (like a living room), I will work with my partners to find vetted villas, apartments, and/or hotels that meet your needs.

DO YOU DO DISNEY TRIPS? At this time, I only specialize in hotel bookings for Disney resorts and the surrounding areas. If you're looking for a full-service Disney Authorized Travel Planner, I'd be happy to refer you to some excellent Disney travel professionals who can assist you with all aspects of your vacation planning.
