"I Am a Travel Consultant, This Is What I Do"
Hey friends, I often get asked, “What exactly does a travel consultant do? I didn’t even know travel agents were still around!” So, I wanted to take a moment to explain what I’ve been passionately doing for over 30 years.
As a luxury travel advisor—and the guy lovingly known as "Mr. Honeymoon" (yes, really!)—my job goes far beyond booking flights and hotels. Years ago, I was one of the few guys in a predominantly female industry, planning romantic honeymoons, and the nickname just stuck.
So what do I do, exactly? Let me break it down:
I live, eat, and breathe travel—myself and my agents are constantly traveling for two main reasons:
Keep Tabs on Destinations: We personally visit and experience the destinations and hotels in our portfolio to ensure they meet the highest standards. I want to make sure the places I send my clients are nothing short of incredible.
Find the Next "It Spot": We’re always on the lookout for the next big destination—places that are just starting to trend but haven’t gone mainstream yet. By staying ahead of the curve, I can offer my clients exclusive access to the newest and most exciting locations before everyone else discovers them.
For example, my next stop is the Galapagos, and early next year, I’ll be exploring Nepal and Bhutan.
Here’s what you can expect when working with me:
Personalized Planning: I design custom itineraries based on your unique preferences, whether for honeymoons, family vacations, or milestone celebrations. Each experience is tailor-made just for you.
Exclusive Perks: Thanks to my relationships with top hotels, resorts, and tour operators, I offer clients perks like room upgrades, special amenities, and exclusive access to experiences they wouldn’t find on their own.
Stress-Free Travel: I handle all the details, from flights to accommodations and special activities, so you can focus on enjoying your trip without worrying about logistics.
Expert Knowledge: Having personally traveled to over 65 countries, I provide insider tips and recommendations that you won’t find on a website.
Human Touch & Problem Solving: If anything goes wrong, from delayed flights to unexpected emergencies, I’m here to handle it so your journey stays smooth and stress-free.
Concierge-Level Service: I don’t just plan trips; I handle every detail—whether it's securing dinner reservations, tee times, or spa treatments—to make sure your travel experience is exceptional.
Travel is more than a job for me—it’s my life. I’m here to bring the human touch to travel planning and ensure each trip is unforgettable. If you’re thinking about your next adventure, hit me up. I’d love to help make it incredible!
