Something that is very important to me as your travel advisor is protecting your investment. I cannot stress the importance of travel insurance enough - weather, airlines, political changes, so many reasons to protect your hard earned money. I always include this in my quotes to my clients - but even if you booked travel on your own, I highly encourage you to get the insurance! While I am not an insurance broker, I do have a company that I know, love and trust. I've gotten too many panicked phone calls from friends and family in travel predicaments that travel insurance could have saved them from!! If this is you and you're needing insurance and you're not sure where to start, this is a good place!

🥂Happy New Year!🎊Cheers to new beginnings and all the possibilities 2025 holds. Let's work on those 2025 adventures!
