Ordinary?
If WOW is what you’re looking for then it needs to be EXTRAORDINARY!
You need a Travel Expert, not a Travel Agent!
Quite often I hear from prospective clients some variation of “I talked with so and so who went on a trip with you and it sounded amazing. She said it was their best trip ever.”
Or…“My friend just returned from a vacation that you planned for her family, and she can’t stop talking about it. They especially loved the dinner in a local families’ home.”
Or this, “I love your website and social media sites. Your pictures are amazing! I wish I could experience it like you do.”
Even, “My friend said they could never imagine planning another trip without you again”.
And they usually end with asking, “How do you do it?”
I smile and say, I’ll let you in on my secret…..(dramatic pause ?)…..I’m a Travel Expert!
“Oh, so you’re a Travel Agent?”. Nope, I’m a Travel Expert! I travel for my living.
Over the past 12 years, I have planned and personally led more than 60 domestic and international group tours, in addition to coordinating corporate, family and educational travel experiences, along with my personal travel.
So when you combine this extensive experience along with my global network of travel partners and suppliers, you get a Travel Expert specializing in luxury and experiential travel. It’s just the same as when you are looking for financial advice, you turn to a Financial Advisor. Or if you need legal advice, you consult with an attorney. Or if you have a medical situation, you consult with a doctor specializing in your area of need. So it makes sense when it comes to travel and planning your amazing vacations, that you seek the advice and expertise of a Travel Expert.
Here are the benefits you’ll enjoy when working with a Travel Expert:
- To take it from Ordinary to Extraordinary
As a Travel Expert I make sure you don’t miss out on extraordinary experiences that you may not be aware of or cannot get on your own, as they are only available through our exclusive global network of travel partners and suppliers. I’ll use inside information to arrange behind the scene tours, secure access into exclusive events, have your tours and excursions scheduled at the best times, provide upgrades and amenities when available and more. My goal is that you return from your vacation saying, “WOW! That was an amazing experience!” - Save Time, Save Money and Reduce Stress
It’s easy to book a flight and a hotel online and go on an ordinary vacation. I also know it’s incredibly difficult, stressful and time consuming to plan an extraordinary one. A recent study by Google highlighted the average research time to plan a one-week vacation takes up to 80 hours. And even with all this time and effort, there is a high potential for costly booking and travel coordination mistakes. Your time, money and life experiences are your most valuable assets, so entrust them to a Travel Expert. - Attention to Detail
There are so many components that go into the design of a customized itinerary, and it can become especially complex for highly specialized, group or multiple country travel. As your Travel Expert, all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy knowing I ensure every detail is covered. Before you leave, I do a detailed walk through of your final itinerary and provide your travel documents along with a mobile app customized with your trip specific information and itinerary, with links to insightful and informative destination information. - Trip Advocate
If something goes wrong, and those that travel know eventually it will happen, as your Travel Expert I go to bat for you — no matter the issue – as the most important thing at that time is to get your vacation back on track. With my extensive contacts around the world, you are only one call away for immediate help and local support.
So there is a difference between a Travel Agent and a Travel Expert.
I work with clients from all over the world and would love to meet you and work together on your next adventure.
