Costa Rica, has just been recognized as Travel and Leisure's destination for 2024.

Having traveled there myself and already booked clients for next year, I know Costa Rica is a compelling choice for those looking to explore and enjoy a unique travel experience.

Costa Rica boasts a rich biodiversity, including colorful toucans, sloths, and unique plant species. The country is characterized by a mix of volcanoes, mountains, and pristine coastlines on both the Pacific and Caribbean sides and the friendly “Ticos” contribute to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.

If you are seeking natural beauty, adventure, and sustainable tourism experiences ask me about planning a trip to Costs Rica. But you better hurry…the secret is out! 🦥

Flight delays stink!

While I don’t have a crystal ball to predict the future or a magic wand to fix things beyond our control, I do offer as much support as possible for my clients during travel hiccups.

I always try to set my clients up for success by equipping them, prior to departure, with contact numbers and procedures to use should they encounter issues.

If travel does get interrupted and alternate arrangements need to be made, my supplier partners and I work to make things go as smoothly as possible.

And my clients are grateful…

“I still can't thank you enough for everything you did for us yesterday! It really helped us both knowing we had someone fighting for us on the phone too. We are very grateful.” J.C.

“Our luggage arrived last night! Let the fun begin…I'm drinking coffee on our balcony, looking at boats on the water now. City tour coming up. Thank you so much for all your help!” D.K.

“Having a blast!”

Music to my ears 😊 I love hearing that my clients are having an awesome time on their trip.

I am now booking travel for 2024 and beyond. Where to for you?

As small tours fill up quickly for summer 2024, I am utilizing my affiliate partners to get my clients in on really beautifully curated trips.

This week, the mission was Scandinavia.

On almost sold out space, my clients are now securely booked on a gorgeous tour through three stunning countries, fully escorted by a professional travel concierge.

Their hotels will be magnificent being either restored historic properties or traditional hotels, with incredible locations or views. Many of the included meals are what I would describe as ‘culinary journeys’ and their day tours will immerse them into the culture of each region.

Shoulder season. Arguably the best time to travel. Less crowds, pleasant temperatures, better prices. But don’t let all that fool you into thinking you can wait until the last minute to book.

This week, clients of mine are heading to Paris. Paris in the fall! So dreamy 🇫🇷🍂

We started booking this trip in March and were able to get them everything they wanted in their itinerary.

No matter what the season, no matter what the destination, start planning your travels well in advance…six months or more is ideal!

Incorporating a special interest of yours into an itinerary is a great way to really personalize your vacation.

This fall, a client of mine, who is a huge Downton Abbey fan, will be visiting Highclere Castle where the series was filmed [swipe ➡️]

In addition to enjoying the grounds and the castle, she and a couple of pals will take a guided tour through the State Rooms, the Gallery and Castle Bedrooms. They will learn about the history and works of art in this extraordinary home, as well as behind the scenes stories from the filming of Downton Abbey.

What’s your special interest and how can I help you incorporate that into a personalized itinerary for your next vacation?

More lovely clients of mine are heading to Italy today for a milestone anniversary trip.

They will be staying in a stunning suite in one of the most luxurious hotels in Rome.

Dining in restaurants with iconic views of Rome, they will enjoy Michelin-starred meals that will remind them why Italy is one of the world’s great food and wine destinations.

With a private guide and driver, they will experience the highlights of Rome, including a Colosseum tour.

Rome. Roma. The City of Seven Hills. The Eternal City.

This week my clients will be enjoying La Dolce Vita, spending many days exploring this iconic and significant city.

Each day of their itinerary has been personalized to meet their interests, tastes, and travel pace with plenty of space for exploration, serendipity, and a little bit of rest in between.

Looking for an extraordinary gift for Dad or Grandad this Father’s Day? What about a trip he has always dreamed about?

Exploring what your Dad loves to do, I can help design a trip tailored to his preferences. Here are some ideas:

🐟 Fishing - from fly fishing in Montana to deep sea fishing in Australia, there are so many great vacation options in the world for the guy that loves fishing

⛳️ Golf - If the Dad in your life loves golf, why not package a few rounds into a relaxing getaway?

🐴 Dude Ranch - think wide open spaces, stunning scenery, horseback riding and other outdoor activities that will connect Dad with nature and friends or family.

‘We love our hotel in Amsterdam!!!’ C.L., Geneva, IL.

Getting feedback like this makes my day!

For most travelers, their hotel and hotel room are a big component of their vacation. As such, I always put time into trying to understand what my clients want, even if sometimes they don’t know how to define that themselves.

Budget is often a leading criteria, but mostly it comes down to each client’s personal taste, travel style, location requests, and amenity requirements.

Asking questions and listening carefully is the keystone to my personalized travel planning service. Then using my experience and industry contacts, I strive to find a ‘perfect match’ property that my clients ‘love’.

Did you know that Lunar New Year is celebrated by more than a billion people?

While a significant holiday in Asian countries, it is also celebrated in communities worldwide.

During this time, people pay respect to their elders, spend time with their families, and enjoy delicious dishes that that have significant meanings.

Learning about and participating in cultural traditions can be fun and enriching. Explore what cultural events are on this week in your community.

If you want to be the best in the biz, you need to learn from the best in the biz.

Over the years I have sought out travel mentors that have a similar travel philosophy to mine. They not only teach me new things but keep me grounded in my mission to provide personal, authentic, & immersive travel experiences for my clients.

Today I was, again, learning from Samantha Brown in Chicago.

Think about things like -

✏️ a gift certificate for a relevant class to prepare them for a trip such as a travel photography or scuba diving
🛂 payment for expedited airport security such TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, or Clear

Hi! Just a quick introduction here. I’m Nicole Close, owner and travel consultant at Travitect. I am super excited to be launching Travitect this fall and getting to work helping busy people plan extraordinary travel.

Here’s a few tidbits about me:

✨I am an ‘Ausmerican’ (yep, that’s a real, made-up term). I hold dual citizenship 🇦🇺🇺🇸 and have spent roughly half my life in Australia, half in the US.

✨I am an avid traveler. In addition to traveling much of Australia, I have traveled to over 30 counties and more than half of the US.

✨When traveling, I most enjoy an authentic and immersive experience where I really get to understand the culture through the people, food, and local attractions.

✨I am an obsessive planner. I love creating itineraries that not only showcase a destination but reveal the essence of it.

✨I am a good listener. I love to hear my clients’ stories and then help them achieve their personal travel visions.
