Tips for Traveling Solo Part 4 of 4!

1. Register with your embassy. If there’s a problem in the country, this will make it easier for your government to contact you and get you to safety.

2. Go to a bank or ATM in the country you’re visiting. The conversion centers in the airport or around the city tend to be huge rip-offs. You won’t get charged as many fees at the ATM or the bank, and the conversion will be exact.

3. Bring a charger adapter. Countries have different size plugs and voltage. So if you want to use your iPod, make sure you can charge it. A power strip can be a way to cheat and charge multiple devices off of one adapter.

4. Download an offline information app for your destination.

5. Check the country’s entrance/exit fees. Some countries require travelers to pay in order to enter or leave the country. These fees are not included in the price of your airline ticket, and can range from $25 to $200.

I hope everyone enjoyed this series! Happy Travels!!

Tips for Traveling Solo Part 3 of 4!

1. Leave a copy of your passport with a trusted family member/friend/travel agent in case something happens to your passport and copies.

2. Make sure your credit card will work in the country you are visiting. European banks have switched almost completely to the more secure chip-and-PIN technology, and fewer businesses abroad are accepting the outdated magnetic-strip cards.

3. Buy tour and activity tickets when you book your trip or soon after so they don’t sell out!

4. Check the voltage of your electronics. Having an adapter doesn’t always mean your electronics are going to work.

5. To check a bar or not to check a bag. Different airlines have different fees and guidelines when it comes to all baggage. Always check or ask your travel agent about these guidelines and regulations to make sure your flight experience is an flawless as it can be!

Happy travels and look forward to the last part! 🏝

Tips for Traveling Solo Part 2 of 4!

1. Bring photocopies of your passport! If your passport gets stolen or lost you want to be sure that you can still get back into the country, or be able to prove your citizenship.

2. Always have local cash. Even if you bring a credit card, its always a good idea to have cash on hand.

3. Research events going on in your destinations.

4. Activate your phones global capabilities. There is usually a charge for this but it is generally less than roaming charges.

5. Pack an extra set of clothes in your carry-on. Shopping in airports can be really expensive, so save yourself the hassle!

Happy travels until next time! ✈️

Tips for Traveling Solo Part 1 of 4!

1. Purchase travel insurance! I always push for everyone I know, weather they use my services or not, to purchase travel insurance. It will be your primary medical insurance while traveling as well as insure that if something happens and you cannot go on your trip, you wont lose out on everything you invested.

2. Look up monetary conversion before you travel.

3. Call your bank or credit card provider to let them know your destination, also look into applying for a credit card that does not charge foreign transaction fees.

4. Get guidebooks. If you are traveling somewhere for the first time, sometimes all you need is a guidebook to give you tons of ideas so you don’t miss out on anything!

5. Bring snacks! No matter what you are doing, its never a bad idea to bring snacks and always have water!

Happy travels and stay tuned for part two! 🌍

5 Myths about using a travel agent and the truth behind each one! 🌍✈️

Myth: Consumers have access to the same travel booking information as travel agents.
Truth: Yes, consumers have access to booking the same hotels, airlines and any other travel product as travel agents do. Consumers should know, that it does not matter how many websites they search, they will never have access to all the inventory available at a given hotel, airline, cruise or any other travel product. Not even if they search all the major travel booking websites online including the hotels' websites. When you book by yourself, you can only book the best of what you can find. When you book with a travel agent, you are booking the best of what’s available.

Myth: No One Uses A Travel Agent Anymore
Truth: Even though the travel needs for some may be very straightforward and basic, there are many circumstances under which the itinerary requirements go beyond the cheapest available hotel room and flight. Here are some stats that may be shocking to many. 51% of Airline tickets are still booked by travel agents. 81% of organized tours and packages, 87% of all cruises, 47% of hotel bookings, 45% of car rentals are still booked by travel agents. So on average, believe it or not, most people still prefer to use a travel agent to book their travel plans.

Myth: All Travel Agents And Agencies Do The Same Thing
Truth: The Travel industry is one of the biggest industries in the world, with dozens of product types, hundreds of product categories and thousands of possible travel destinations. Good agents and agencies know that they cannot be the best at everything, so they instead prefer to specialize. Most travel agents are product and product category or destination specialists. (I am a destination specialist for Canada, Hawaii, Northern Europe and Alaska.)

Myth: Travel Agents charge high fees for using their services
Truth: There are many luxury travel specialists that have engagement fees for their services yes. These agents provide very specific specialized services that bring more than monetary value to their clients. However, there are many travel agents that do not charge extra fees for their services and instead work for the commissions they will earn from the deal, paid to them by the product supplier or vendor. (I am not charging service fees for all 2021 travel, normally I would only charge service fees for custom travel with a lot of components.)

Myth: Using a travel agent us a waste of time
Truth: Searching and comparing sites on dozens of websites, reading an endless list of fake and biased reviews, spending 7 days on a vacation filled with regrets due to insufficient or inaccurate information. All those things are what I would call a complete waste of time. Having a trained expert offer their knowledge, relationships, and insight into making your vacation experience as personal and hassle free as possible is absolutely not a waste of time.
