What I would tell my younger self, travel edition ✈️

I would tell her:

• Embrace the journey, not just the destination! Slow down, savor the small moments and appreciate the journey itself. Some of the BEST 🌟 memories are made in unexpected places, so take a moment a breathe.

• Invest in experiences over things. The real value of travel lies in the experiences. These are the moments that stay with you.

• Pack the swimsuit, girl, life is too short not to wear what you want!

What travel advice would you give your younger self?

I’m just popping in to say “hi” to all the new faces I’m seeing around here!

My name is Belinda Wallner! I’m a luxury travel advisor from Jacksonville, AL who loves to travel the world, spend quality time with my grand-babies, and spoil my fluffy children 🐾 (AKA the cutest pugs ever!!)

Although my job has its highs and lows, I would never trade it for the world!!

Now enough about me, tell me one fun fact about YOU in the comments!

Should you trust hotel reviews you see online?

Here’s our take as travel advisors:
Yes, you can take reviews into consideration, but its risky to base your whole decision off the perspectives of strangers. 😮‍💨

We’ve been to hotels that had bad reviews, but they ended up being perfect for us and our travel styles.

On the flip side, we’ve been to hotels with great ratings that just didn’t quite live up to our expectations.

Taking the time to understand what you truly want and value from your travel experience is a great place to start so you don’t get confused or swayed when you read reviews.

Here’s how we can help: ​​When we make recommendations on where you should stay and what you should do, we're taking the time to truly understand your travel preferences, needs, and hotels and resorts that you’ve enjoyed in the past.

That way we can give you clarity in the thousands of choices for resorts and hotels out there. 🔎

No having to guess or rely on mixed online reviews. Let’s chat!

Is this you every night after work trying to plan your next vacation? 👇

• You have a giant list of resorts you can’t keep straight.
•10 browser tabs open with articles, reviews, and recommendations.
• You‘re wondering if you should take that excursion or not, and which local tours are the best option since they’re all starting to blend in and sound the same. 🥴

Friend, let us remind you that planning a trip doesn’t need to turn into a full-time job for you.

Here’s what you’re going to do instead:

👉 Hand your travel wishlist over
👉 Tell us more about the trip you’d like to take
👉 Give us some insights into past trips and what you loved or didn’t love

And let us bring it all together into a proposal with tailored resort or cruise recommendations, a list of tours we've done ourselves (or have vetted), and a list of other tips and information about the destination you've got your eye on.

Send us a message, so you can get back to enjoying your evenings!

Money saved or money lost?? 🤔
It may seem cheaper to book a trip yourself but…

👉 You might snag a bargain flight, only to pay high baggage fees or get bumped if its overbooked.

👉 That cheaper hotel? It’s dated and lacks amenities.

👉 DIY travel planning often means missed discounts, exclusive deals, and insider tips that could save you more.

What we do is take my clients’ budgets and find the best value for their money.

It may mean recommending a hotel that’s a little bit more expensive but checks all of your boxes.

It could also mean recommending different travel dates so your costs are significantly cheaper.

It may even mean snagging you freebies, offers, and other value-adds you won’t get when you book yourself online.

Let‘s make smart choices together and stretch your vacation budget further without sacrificing quality or comfort. To get started with planning, send us a message or give us a call anytime!

We have a bit of a controversial take on luxury travel.

We are pretty big believers that luxury travel isn’t always 5-star resorts and first-class tickets (although both of those are nice!)

🌟 Luxury can be as simple as having someone else plan and book all the details for your trip so there’s no stress on your shoulders.

🌟 Luxury can be an itinerary tailored perfectly to you, without you having to lift one finger.

🌟 Luxury can be as simple as seamless logistics, where all the details are planned and organized for you without any stress or wasted time.

Just know that whether your idea of luxury is the 5-star resorts or it’s all of the things we listed above, we're just a message or email away and ready to assist!

Worried about what could go wrong with your upcoming vacation??
Pesky summer travel hiccups + what to do about them 👇🏻

➡️ Seat Swap Surprises
So, you’ve checked in online and picked your seats, but then you get to the airport and... surprise! They’ve changed.

What to Do • Head straight to the gate desk (not the ticketing counter). Gate agents are your best friends here—they can help fix the seating situation or find someone willing to switch seats.

➡️ Lost or Delayed Luggage

What to do: Find the airline’s baggage desk near the baggage claim area and file a claim before you leave the airport. If you can’t locate the desk, call the airline ASAP to report your missing luggage.

**Hang on to those receipts for any essentials you need to buy—just keep it reasonable (no designer splurges, unfortunately). Then, when you’re back, file a claim with your travel insurance. (we ALWAYS recommend protecting your travel!)**

➡️ Delayed and cancelled flights

What to do: Check the Department of Transportation (DOT) Dashboard. If the delay is within the airline’s control, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Airline Customer Service Dashboard will show you what each airline should do to make it up to you.

➡️ Not Loving Your Hotel Room
Your room not up to par? Here’s how to get it sorted

What to do: Ask for the manager. Call from your room or go to the front desk and ask to speak to a manager. Be specific about the issues and honest about what resolution you’re seeking.

➡️ Rental Car Issues

What to do: If your rental car isn’t what you expected, contact the rental company’s customer service. They might be able to upgrade or switch your vehicle. Always check the car for damage before driving off the lot and report any issues immediately.

We hope you don‘t encounter any of these hiccups this summer, but if you do, use this as your *QUICKSTART* guide to problem-solving. Enjoy these blissful summer days!

The internet is for looking, your travel advisor is for booking! 🏖️
Here are a few reasons why you should always give your travel advisor a call when it's time to book your next vacation! 👇

• Handpicked Accommodations: No more having to scour the internet with browser tabs toggled between multiple hotels. It's near impossible to keep track of endless review sites that don’t actually give you any clarity!! 😒

• Expert Recommendations: Whether we match you to that lesser-known but amazing local guide or help you decide which tours and experiences best suit your style, we share insights from our personal travel experiences and our network of travel experts around the world. 🌎

• Reclaiming time: We save our clients dozens of hours and weeks (or sometimes even months!) of scouring the internet trying to figure out what to book and how to pull a great trip together.

If you haven’t experienced the absolute relief and ease of having an expert take care of your travel plans, friend, we promise you, it is SUCH a good feeling.

We are here when you’re ready to travel with ease!

This is what travel nightmares are made of 😬

You or your partner forgot to confirm the rental car.

The hotel is overbooked, and you get bumped.

Your resort room is up to par.

If you’re in the middle of a hot mess on your summer travels right now, know that I get it.

You don’t go 20+ years traveling the world and working in the travel industry without seeing a thing or two.

Take a deep breath. This too shall pass.

And if you want to avoid any of these travel nightmares in the future, call us, we can help!

Travel planning is key…but a sprinkle of spontaneity?

That’s where the magic is waiting for you.

Here’s how to mix in both to get the most out of your next adventure

👉Set the foundation
Nail down your must-see and must-do things.
Think of it as your travel safety net—no missed flights, overbooked hotels and tours, or long lineups. Setting the foundation removes all the stress and FOMO of travel.

👉Flex Room
I always recommend clients leave gaps in their schedule for the unexpected.
(We always think we can pack more into an itinerary than we probably should I’m guilty!)
Use those gaps for exploring and doing things that spontaneously pop up along the way — things like local festivals, hidden-away towns you’re driving through, etc.

👉Stress-Free Exploring
With your essentials covered, you can enjoy unplanned moments without worrying about missing out.
You’re going in knowing that you roam freely because your wishlist items are taken care of.

We'd love to help you knock off those wishlist items, reach out to start planning your trip today!

“Just go online and book the family vacation. It’s so easy…”

Until you’re up at 1 AM thinking…

"Should I book the tour or just rent a car?"

"Is 3 days enough time?”

Fair warning when you’re planning trips to the Caribbean…

🚨 Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that every resort is equal!! 🚨

There are so many options that it’s easy to get a few hours - or even weeks- into the process of planning a trip that everything starts to blur. 😵‍💫

Which resort had the adults-only section again?

And which resort has the better beachfront?

It’s so hard to keep track of it all, then take the leap and make the decision. 💭

But what if instead, you had options based on the trip you’re looking to take, the way you like to travel, etc.?

❌ No more bookmarking, taking notes, or hunting for online tips.

✅ Just the best resort and hotel options served up based on your needs by an expert who takes the time to get to know you.

That experts are us friend, and all it takes is a message or call to get started. Who’s in?! 🙋‍♀️

Whether you’re road-tripping through the US this summer or exploring the Côte d‘Azur in France, here are some of our top tips for making the most of Google Maps when you travel 🔎

➡️ Save Offline Maps:
Before you go, download maps for your destination by tapping the location, choosing "Download," and voilà! You can now navigate without the internet.

➡️ Explore with Street View: Here‘s a cool trick!
Drop the adorable yellow peg man on the map and virtually stroll through the streets. It‘s like being there already. Do this around your hotel to get familiar with nearby places.

➡️ Discover Nearby Places: This is one of our favorites!
Use the "Explore" feature to find attractions, restaurants, bars, parks, you name it, all in your vicinity. It‘s like having a local guide right in your pocket!

Happy exploring, fellow adventurer. 🌏

This goes out to all the people who love travel but you’re not committed to the part where you need to spend weeks scouring the internet, reading reviews, and bookmarking endless websites.

A BIG part of our job as your travel advisors is to take care of ALL the details, so you don’t have to. ❤️

From finding the right flights and resorts/hotels to making the best recommendations in a sea of tour options, and of course, booking that for you too.

Look, friend, you have enough on your plate already, and the last thing you need is to spend hours on a booking site, reading reviews and comparing which resort has more pools, a kids’ club or adults-only section, and daily activities. 🧳

Let us make the planning for your next trip a total breeze.

Honest question 👇

You’re not a cookie-cutter person, so why would you settle for a cookie-cutter vacation?

The thing about booking online using a travel website (Sites like Expedia and Booking.com) is that you only see what they want you to see.

What if you’re missing out on the perfect resort or hotel because it’s not paying to be promoted on one of these websites?

When you work with us, we skip right to the part where we get to know you, so the recommendations we make for hotels, resorts, tours, experiences, and even destinations (If you haven’t figured that out yet), are specific to you.

When our clients shift from booking their vacations online to working with us allowing us to customize their experiences, it changes everything!

☀️ They enjoy their travels more.
🏖️ They feel special and taken care of.
🥂 Every trip feels special.

And isn’t that how travel should be?

You know that moment when you think of the perfect thing to say but it’s too late because the moment has passed? It’s the worst.

I recently had a friend that brought up the fact that they didn’t understand why people use travel advisors because they had recently planned their own trip online.

I was so happy that I got the opportunity to speak up and point out the 20 hours this person could have saved herself by letting a travel advisor do the research and book the trip—this person is super busy with her career and kids!

What I didn’t point out is that by booking their hotel on that 3rd party travel website, they left tons of perks on the table, including late check-out and a possible room upgrade.

And if they need to make changes to their flights, they’ll likely be passed from one customer service person to another.

The more you know the better your travels can be! Do you have any questions about travel planning? We’re always here to chat!

In honor of summer being right around the corner ☀️ we thought we’d share three of our favorite beach destinations for summer getaways.

Anna Maria Island has some of the whitest, cleanest beaches, and the water is transparent - you are even able to see all of the sea life while you are in the ocean!! 🐠

St. Barth’s - a little slice of Europe in the Caribbean! Beautiful beaches. 🏝️

Negril, Jamaica - The most beautiful sunsets. 🌅

Isla Mujeres, Mexico; the island is just under 4 1/2 miles in length. The island is a very relaxed environment and the residents are so friendly. There is such a mixture of things to do from exploring the art to relaxing on the beaches and being able to eat fresh seafood, prepared with traditional recipes. 🌮

Which one of these sounds most like your style?

The way we travel is changing.

I mean, we’ll always love the beaches and hot sun, but more and more, I’m seeing unique requests like:

✨ Astro-tourism: Watching the stars in a clear night sky or chasing the northern lights.

🧘 Transformative Retreats — Trips designed around self-reflection,

✈️ Skip-gen travel — Grandparents traveling with their grandkids.

I love that travel is becoming more unique and personalized. People are setting the intention for their travels then looking for experiences and destinations that will fit what they truly want.

If you’re interested in unique trips and personalized travel planning, you’re in the right place. Send me a message so we can chat about your travel goals and how we can bring them to fruition.
