I've got two new travel clients this month! I love that I'm attracting exactly the type of clients I love working with (those wanting dream vacations, mostly in Europe).

One client is having me plan a trip to France next spring break for her, her daughter, and her granddaughter, and I'm meeting with a couple on Monday who wants help deciding where in Europe they want to go so we can plan the trip of a lifetime for them.

Here's what I love helping my clients with...

🏨 Booking amazing places to stay

🚞✈️ Booking transportation and transfers both in and between countries. I'll be booking a private driver/tour guide for the 4 days my France client is in Provence.

🧑🏼‍🎨Booking tours. I have relationships with the best, most knowledgeable tour companies

✅📋 Provide a detailed itinerary so every step of your trip is clear and easy.

I'm a detail freak, and I love taking care of every detail of your trip so you can relax and truly enjoy it without having to worry about anything.

I don't charge a fee for my travel planning services because I get paid commission by the vendors with whom I work, and I have access to hundreds of companies, so we'll find the very best option for your travel style, no matter what your budget.

Are you planning trip for this fall or next year? Let's chat! Comment below or send me a message. I can't wait to learn all about YOUR travel dreams, and help make them come true.

I've been working on our October/November trip to Switzerland/Germany/Austria for the past few weeks. I have every detail figured out except our flights from Seattle to Boston (because Capital One says to wait for the price to come down).

Here's our itinerary...

I LOVE bringing this level of detail to my clients' itineraries as well. If you have a trip coming up and want some help planning it, comment below or message me, and let me create your dream vacation!

🧳 One of the best parts about being a travel advisor is booking your own trips!

Mark & I are heading to Switzerland 🏔️ and Germany this fall. 🍺
✈️ I started looking at business class tickets a few weeks ago, hoping to book with points, but I quickly became overwhelmed.

✅ After much research and a learning curve, I was finally able to transfer points from my Capitol One Veture X card to Air France last night, and we got business class/lay-flat seats to Zurich and premium economy from Munich home.

🤑 I priced the tickets today, and they would have cost almost $15,000! I got them for 218,000 points (which equals $2,180.00), which I earned by buying everything and paying my bills with my card for the past two years.

🤸🏻‍♀️ So I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now, not gonna lie. Best of all, this is now a service I feel like I can help my clients navigate through.

🎉 Now the fun part...to plan the actual 14 days in Europe! SQUEEE!

💫 Need help planning YOUR next great adventure? Let me know! I'd love to work with you to make it stress and worry-free and the trip of a lifetime!

I'm working on a dream trip to Italy for some friends and getting ready to book our Ireland/Scotland trip, too!

One of my clients just got home from a fun family spring break trip to Jamaica, and one is leaving for their "Ireland by Rail" trip in a few weeks.

Are you ready to let me plan your dream vacation? It's definitely my passion, and I'd love to work with you.

Where do you want to go?

I've been working on this trip to 🇮🇸 Iceland for a client all week and delivered her final itinerary tonight.

They're renting a car and spending a week driving through the Golden Circle and southern Iceland. I booked every aspect of the trip, including...

✈️ Flights (international and domestic)
🚗 The rental car
🏨 6 hotels (they're staying in a different one each night)
🚐 Their transfer to the airport to go home
✅ Travel Insurance

💰 And they're getting all this for under $4000! Even with gas, food, and a few tours, they should come in between $5000 and $5500 for the full week.

I can't pronounce (or even spell) about 90% of the places I booked for them (thank GOD for copy/paste 🤣), but it sure looks like an amazing trip.

I need to add Iceland to our travel list. With Mark being a geophysicist, it's a must-see for him. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a natural hot spring, volcano, geyser, or waterfall!

Where have you been dreaming of traveling? I can work with you on a budget and create a complete itinerary, no matter where you want to go! And I don't charge for my services. Comment below or send me a message and let's chat!

I’ve been planning a few trips for new clients for my Epic Experiences Travel business this week; one to Iceland 🇮🇸 and one to Cannes, France. 🇫🇷

🤔 I’ve discovered a tiny problem with being a work-from-home travel agent…

I want to take Mark to all the places I’m booking for my clients! ✈️

Next up…A client who’s spending 2 weeks in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 and one who’s doing a big trip to Europe 💶 at the end of the summer with her 2 grown daughters and her husband.

Where would you like to travel this year in this big, wide world? 🗺️

17/01/2024
