Why use a Travel Consultant?
While I am a little biased on the subject, I cannot think of a single reason why you would not use a travel consultant. Travel Consultants are synonymous with value. I am not looking to just find you the cheapest vacation and move on, I want to make your money go the furthest. I add amazing value and expertise to you travel plans. You will not waste your time and money and you will get the most our of your travel experience. Don't just read about vacation planning from experts online - trust me, an expert travel consultant to plan your vacation. I have specific training and certifications in the travel industry as well as amazing relationships with destinations all over the world, which will afford you things you cannot find on your own.
Why choose me?
I will ask the right questions to determine the perfect fit for you, and have the connections and knowledge to deliver a seamless experience down to the smallest details.
Is there a fee for your services? What does a Travel Consultant cost?
I do not currently charge a "plan to go" fee - there is not cost for you to use my serivces. I am paid by the desitnation after my clients travel. I work direclty with suppliers, so my pricing will be the same or better than what you can find on your own and you have the added benefit of my knowledge and service. I am able to provide you with the best overall value for your travel dollar. During peak seasons, I do sometimes charge a "plan to go" fee of $250 that is then credited to your booked travel package once you make your choice. You will know up front about the "plan to go" fee.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is the least exciting part of your vacation experience, but is arguably one of the most important. Travel insurance is critical for reasons beyond insuring your vacation investment. There are a wide variety of options available to fit every need and budget. I work with 3rd party insurance vendors and tour operators to offer you the best option to suit your needs.

- I know the answers to the questions you don't think to ask. Your friends have dazzled you with tales of their latest adventure and you have a first-hand recommendation from someone whom you know and trust. But their perfect resort is not necessarily your perfect resort. A travel consultant should ask you dozens of questions about your personal preferences in order to tailor your vacation to meet those expectations.
- I complete the puzzle. You may have found the perfect resort, but I can help you navigate the maze of room categories, confusing flight schedules, and transportation. You may have found a great price on a flight, but you may never make the short connection and clear customs in a busy airport plus your "free" airport transfer could take hours and make multiple stops before ever arriving at your destination.
- I know people. The travel industry profession is about relationships and I spend a significant amount of time traveling to resorts and conferences to meet your hosts. I make certain they know you are a valued client and not just another reservation number. No one person can be an expert on every destination, and I know who to partner with for the best information.
- I am your advocate. You are my client for a lifetime and are always the most important part of the equation - you are why I am here! My priority is to always put my client first. The resort, airline, or cruise operator’s business will never take precedence over you. By monitoring local conditions and resort renovations I am able to make any needed adjustments to your travel itinerary before you depart. If any problems or issues arise during your travel experience, I have a full arsenal of options ready to help save your vacation.
- I save you time. With today’s excess of online resources, travel forums, and extensive reviews, consumers are more educated than ever, but it takes a significant amount of time to find and digest this information and it is difficult to discern the reliability of it. Communicate with me what is most important to you, and I will present you with accurate information on the best options for your next travel experience.
