It's the 21st century and we all have access to Google - it is totally possible to arrange a trip for yourself, your family, or even a group of colleagues with just a few keystrokes. Prior to starting my dream job as a travel agent, I had the same mentality. But when I started to have kids and grow my family, I was finding it more and more difficult to find the time to plan a vacation. Whether it was a quick weekend trip to visit my sister, or a romantic vacation to Cancun, the thought of putting in the time and energy to research deals and book flights was daunting! Finally, a friend in the industry offered to plan my family vacation to Jamaica and the results spoke for themselves. Not only did I save thousands, but she saved me time and energy PLUS dealt with the airline who lost our luggage. After that experience, it was time to turn my dreams into a career and I started working as a luxury travel agent!
Keep on reading to explore the many benefits you experience working with a travel agent - the benefits are endless.
Savings, Savings, Savings!
Travel agents partner with various tour operators, resorts and other travel companies to bring you the best deals possible. We have access to offers and promotions that cant be found through Expedia or online. I have personally partnered with numerous companies to guarantee my clients the best rates. It's also a misconception that most travel agents require a huge fee upfront. This is typically not the case as most travel agents get paid out through the hotels and wholesalers that they do business with. I personally don't charge any fee upfront to create your itinerary. Contact me today and we can review your budget and discuss payment plans!
Time
You can't put a price tag on this one but the amount of time people save working with a travel agent is proven time and time again! The destination may be easy to figure out, but what about choosing the airline that aligns with your budget, or picking the perfect kid-friendly hotel, or having to spend hours talking to cruise lines after they cancel your trip? With a travel agent, they take care of all of this for you! Don't spend hours, days, or even weeks planning the perfect family vacation or dream honeymoon. Instead, let a travel agent do all of the research and heavy lifting. When you work with me, I'll put together a comprehensive itinerary focused around your travel goals and desires. Just tell me your budget, destination, and travel dates and I'll put together a curated agenda guaranteed to check every box off your list!
Peace of Mind
Obviously, the year 2020 was a year that many of us don't ever want to revisit. If you plan on getting back out there and are itching to travel again (I know I am!) hiring a travel agent to assist you in the ever-changing world of travel requirements is a MUST. Whether you're traveling to a different city via train or looking for something a bit more ambitious oversees, what's optional one day may be mandatory the next.

But with me as your travel agent, you can trust that I'll be well aware of every new protocol or change ahead of time and in-transit. Spend your time anticipating your trip and let me take care of all of the busy work.
