A Note on the Value of Professional Travel Services

As a travel consultant, I dedicate my time, expertise, and resources to help clients plan their perfect vacations. From researching destinations, finding the best options, answering questions, and creating detailed itineraries, every part of the process is carefully tailored to meet your needs.

It’s disappointing when someone uses the information I’ve worked hard to provide, only to book elsewhere. This not only undervalues my time but also takes advantage of the personalized service I offer.

I want to gently remind everyone that my service fee exists to recognize the effort, experience, and care I bring to the planning process. It ensures that you not only have the best vacation options but also receive my unwavering support before, during, and after your trip—something booking platforms like Costco Travel can’t offer.

If you’re working with me, I kindly ask for your commitment to book through my services, as that’s how I make a living. Thank you for understanding and supporting small businesses like mine.

Let’s continue working together to create unforgettable experiences! 🌍✈️

‼️Cost for Tulum Ruins Triples in 2025‼️

The iconic Tulum ruins has become significantly more expensive this year, with costs soaring by 345% per person.

This sharp increase stems from the introduction of a new entrance fee for Jaguar Park, a neighboring ecological attraction, and the doubling of the environmental preservation fee by CONANP (National Commission of Natural Protected Areas).*

Meanwhile, other popular archaeological sites have also seen price hikes: entry to Coba has increased by 20%, while the Muyil channels now cost 30% more.

Although not yet announced, Chichen Itza is expected to follow suit with its annual price adjustment, further impacting travelers’ budgets in the region.

Krampus March in Norway! Call me crazy, but this would be one heck of an experience! 🤩

Each year on December 5th, people prepare themselves for Krampusnacht (Krampus night). On this occasion, men and boys dress up as the Krampus, wearing scary masks and fury, goat-like suits. They roam the streets in a Krampus parade with sticks and whips, as spectators offer schnapps and goad them on their procession.
