So you’ve decided to hire a travel agent…but how do you find the best one for your trip you have dreamed so much about?

Look for a travel agent that asks a lot of questions

When a travel agent is barraging you with questions about your trip, it really means that they are looking out for you and your interests. They are trying to discern exactly what you imagine your trip to be and to make it happen just that way.

The right travel agent for you will get you the most value

When you go on a trip, you want to get the most you can out of the same price. A travel agent can find all that extra value for you while increasing the costs as little as possible. I worked with a client recently and they already had one quote for their trip. We were able to cut their total costs in half, and even include more in the trip.

The right travel agent for you will have some expertise in the area you are looking for

Some travel agents will have a specific area of expertise that they specialize in, and when they plan a trip within that area, you will get the best possible experience you can. A good example is if anyone has ever booked a Disney trip with Sarah Beth, then you know that she is more than an expert with all things Disney.

To wrap it up, there are a lot of options out there and it can be hard to discern which one to choose. But the right travel agent for you is out there, I promise. This list is a very effective way to narrow it down a lot!

Ah yes, the hotel. Arguably one of the most vital connecting pieces of a traveling experience. They are very important, unless you enjoy sleeping in your car in sketchy alleyways.

But hotels cost money too, so how do we budget for them? Well, there are primarily three things to consider here:

Which hotel do you stay at?

Finding a hotel can be a bit tricky. It’s always best to find one online, in advance. You could just google it, or you could use a site more tailored to this type of thing, like expedia or Funjet.

Which room do you stay in? 

Most hotels will have many different room options. A double suite may come with more space and extra beds, and a villa may have the same and a sweet verandah for you to enjoy much better views and some fresh air. Think about what you want your temporary home to provide for you.

Do you want any extra goodies?

This is similar to the first one, just on a smaller, less important scale. Do you want to spend extra money on amenities, like room service, or spend that money on the actual reason you came on this trip. Also think about fitness centers, activities, valet parking, anything that is vital to your ultimate experience.

     Bonus advice) Always consider if you have kids with you as well. 

If so, you (they) may want to stay at a place that serves a nice breakfast, (a lot of places serve free breakfast) and a swimming pool, so take these things into consideration as well to help to really get the most out of your trip for everyone.

Figuring out hotels isn’t too complicated, but it’s just one more thing to add to the list, which quickly stacks up on you, and that’s a lot to handle.

If you don’t want to deal with planning a trip, then let us do it for you! You can message us anytime to discuss details, or you can click the link in the bio for a free quote!

What is Simple Journeys?

Simple Journeys is an idea that came out of conversations with friends and family about travel. I’ve always loved traveling, and even more I love planning the travel. It never occurred to me that other people may not enjoy that part as much until talking to some friends about how they just don’t have time to travel, or don’t like planning trips, or don’t feel capable of planning a trip. I thought, “What if I could get paid to help people in these areas – doing what I absolutely love??” And thus Simple Journeys was born. In short, I plan trips. The longer definition is that I offer an option for anyone that feels incapable of planning a trip, that feels like they can’t afford it (I can help you figure out how!), or that doesn’t have time to plan travel. I offer an opportunity to have the experiences they crave without the hassle.

Why choose Simple Journeys?

Simple Journeys is a unique option for travelers that want a personalized experience with a caring service. My goal is for clients to feel at home with me, to experience a relational and personal atmosphere with someone they can trust. I continually strive to exceed client expectations in all areas, particularly in customer service through caring, personal interactions, and attention to details from the day of booking and continuing even after the trip is over.

If you identify with any of the statements I mentioned earlier (you don’t enjoy planning, you don’t feel capable of planning a trip, you don’t have time to plan trips, you don’t think you can afford it) then send me a message and let me know! If you don’t identify with any of those statements and prefer planning your own trips, that’s fine too! Feel free to check out my website and blog, and subscribe to my mailing list for updates, trip ideas, planning tips, and lots of other resources along the way. Hope to hear from you soon!
