Why book with a travel advisor like me?
If complimentary services like free breakfast and spa treatments aren’t enough, there’s also the fact that I save my clients tons of time by doing all of their trip research so they don’t have to sift through Google and being the point person for all of the travel logistics so it’s one less thing on their to-do list.
I love what I do!

Have you been to my destination/hotel?
In any given year, I usually visit dozens of hotels, and just as many locations around the world.
And…I’ve been to all continents!, so I’ve been to a lot of countries and have boots-on-the-ground knowledge of so many places.
Yet, if I haven’t been to the exact destination you want to visit, I have insider intel from incredible colleagues and partners worldwide.
Your experience is paramount and I’ll take it from ordinary to extraordinary!

Timişoara, Romania, is a city in the far western corner of Romania, nearer to Budapest (3½ hours) and Belgrade (3 hours) than Romania’s capital, Bucharest. It’s barely a blip on the tourist radar, yet it rivals Vienna or Prague in terms of the beauty of its urban architecture. As a matter of fact, its nickname is “Little Vienna.”
The main thing to do in Timişoara is stroll around the center of town and admire the architecture. The buildings from the 18th to the 20th century range in style from Baroque to Art Nouveau. Some are monumental and grand; some quite simple. Their condition varies from crumbling ruins to beautifully restored and painted in cheerful pastels.
There are three main large plazas, each with gorgeous buildings surrounding them. Start at long, narrow Victory Plaza (Piața Victoriei), overlooked by the Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral (20th-century neo-Moldavian architecture). Walk through the center of the city to Liberty Plaza (Piața Libertății) and then to the prettiest and best restored: Unity Plaza (Piața Unirii).
You won’t regret a stop here if you’re into architecture, and you won’t have to fight the tourist crowds of Vienna or Prague.
☀️Best Time To Visit Timișoara: Mid-May to September is the perfect time to come and enjoy the pleasant weather Romania has to offer.
✈️ How to get here: Fly into Timișoara Traian Vuia International Airport (TSR) situated 7 miles from the city center.
🧳Perfect day trip to the Decebal Statue, another amazing hidden gem in Romania featuring a colossal carving of the face of the last king of Dacia. You can book a tour to get there and it’s definitely a unique place to experience!
🏨Where to stay in Timișoara: Stay central so you can walk to all the attractions in a few minutes and easily explore all landmarks, such as the Old Town Hotel, with its views of the city.

I’m concerned something happens between now and then and I can’t go. How can I protect my vacation?
So you know you could lose your travel investment if you need to cancel – good for you!
It’s true. You may have a very pretty penny at risk if something comes up. Having a travel advisor helps you navigate these changes removing a lot of the aggravation involved.
I can also take it one step further – and this is what I recommend for every client’s peace of mind - by explaining what trip insurance options are open to you.
For instance, Luxury Travel Authority offers full protection that lets you cancel for any reason—not just a list of approved causes.

Do I have to pay you upfront for my vacation?
No! Our suppliers set deposit requirements. Deposit rates vary based on the resort or package you select, and the time you travel.
A deposit is made on your behalf directly with the resort or tour operator. This way, you are assured that your deposit is applied directly to your vacation at the time of booking.
Most vacation packages require that you pay the balance 45 days prior to your arrival date. And just as with the deposit, this final payment is made directly to the supplier.

What Does A Travel Advisor Do?
In a world of Google and online booking platforms, you might be wondering “What do travel advisors do anyway”, this is by no means a full list, but let me give you some insight.
I don’t just book travel.
I curate travel based on the destination you want to visit, the things you want to see, and your overall travel preferences.
Planning your travel is very personal and I add a personal touch. Instead of booking that vacation package online that you “think” might be good for you, we talk it through to make sure I’m curating a vacation that’s perfect for you.
I bring my experience to the table.
Online forums and Google reviews can be notoriously skewed, but when we work together on your vacation you’re getting vetted information.

Can you work within my budget?
As part of my exclusive + easy pre-trip information-gathering process, we’ll speak openly about your budget, needs, and desires.
Because of this, you’ll never need to worry about spending more than you want to, paying hidden fees, or if you’re getting the best value for your money – You are!
And, if the trip of your dreams seems out of reach, ask about options. You might be surprised by what is possible like suppliers not requiring full payment in the short term.
Instead, you may be able to purchase through monthly installments.
As an advisor, I can often offer you these alternatives that you can’t get directly through airlines, hotels, and online travel companies.

In the #Oaxaca clouds lies a pre-Columbian city to rival #ChichénItzá
Though it bears a strong resemblance to Chichén Itzá, Mexico’s hilltop complex of Monte Albán pre-dates its Yucatán cousin by 750 years and receives just a fifth of the visitors.
Set high above Oaxaca City, it was built by the Zapotecs around 500 BCE but eventually faded into slow obscurity until Leopoldo Batres began excavations in 1902, discovering a trove of important gold and striking pyramids.
Alongside Chichén Itzá and the pre-Aztec Teotihuacan ruins outside #Mexico City, Monte Albán is one of the most important pre-Columbian archaeological treasures of Mesoamerica.
The site’s strategic hilltop location puts it level with the clouds above Oaxaca’s Central Valleys, and as visitors stroll the grounds they can ponder the astronomical observations made from the site centuries ago.
The Zapotec god of rain, Cocijo, was the main deity worshipped here, perhaps because the 400m (1312ft) elevation gives the perfect vantage on any storm clouds moving in.
Come on a weekday and it can feel like a place where time has collapsed, far from the busy city below.
When to go: Oct–Nov; October marks the start of the dry season, with ideal temperatures and clear skies. Time your trip right (in the lead-up to November 1-2), and you can view the local Day of the Dead altars in Oaxaca City during your stay.
