🗺FAQs!
"I've never used a travel agent before, how does this all work?"
As a travel agent, my job is to do the research for you, to build you your dream vacation, and to handle any bumps along the way. After you contact me, I'll send a brief questionnaire to get a sense of what you're looking for. From there, I will build an outline of your vacation with options for you to choose from. After, I will send a beautiful day by day guide for you to follow along while you're enjoying your time away.
"Aren't travel agents expensive?"
No way! Travel Agents work off of commission. When we book your hotel, excursions, cruises, Disney trip...our suppliers give us a small piece of the pie. The only exception is if you decide you would like to book an entire vacation with a day to day itinerary and have me on standby throughout your trip using companies that are not in my supplier group. In which case, I charge a small planning fee which we discuss before planning begins.
"Why wouldn't I just book all of this myself?"
Great question! There are thousands of options out there for hotels, things to do, not to mention places to eat. It can all be pretty overwhelming. Throw in finding time to plan, securing excursions, and figuring out how to fit it all into a limited number of days, it's exhausting. That's where I come in. Not only do I narrow down your options amd price everything out for you, I also continually check for updated deals after you've booked, and do everything I can to keep getting you the best deal. I am also here to be your point of contact if things go wrong. I am willing to make the phone calls to get everything settled the best I can.
"I need flights to xyz"
While I can help you research flights, I would suggest doing the actual booking for this yourself. The only time I can't help is when you're in the airport on a very limited time line and you're needing help immediately. If you book yourself, you'll be able to work directly with airport staff to solve your issue faster than I could
"How about a staycation?"
Don't want to travel far but still want a sense of adventure? Let me book you a "surprise day". Each surprise day comes with a series of emails and a walking tour on Google maps. Each email contains a new location along your route with a brief history of the area. You get to set the parameters, I'm not going to be sending you 5 hours away on a 16 mile hike, unless that's something you're in to. Most surprise days are easy going with 5-10 stops and recommendations for meals.
Lastly,
"Why should I choose you over a different agent?"
This is where I have to give all the credit to my husband. He is an incredible, hardworking, passionate Navy Pilot who has created a life for us that has already gone beyond my most passionate dreams. Him and his career has allowed us to travel farther than I ever thought possible. My first hand experience with travel includes living and traveling in America, Spain, and soon to be Japan. We have traveled across 4 continents and 23 countries. I have a passion for travel and sharing. I don't gate keep information. I want everyone to be able to breeze past the hurdles I've encountered along the way and get to the good parts as quickly as possible. You don't have to choose me, but I would be very grateful if you did!
