WINNING ADVENTURES TRAVEL

What Happens When You Turn The Planning Over

TO A CERTIFIED, EXPERIENCED + PROFESSIONAL TRAVEL ADVISOR

WHAT DOES VACATION PLANNING FEEL LIKE TO YOU?

Are you the unofficial travel planner in your family or group of friends?

 Do you spend 40+ hours planning a 7 day vacation?

​Perhaps you end up with dozens of tabs open on your computer sifting through the millions of options the internet threw at you.

As your search continues, you may have noticed the algorithms working against you as the prices seem to go up as the availability down.

And then there are the tens of thousands of reviews from people who may or may not value the same things you do.

Let's not forget your fellow travelers who despite not helping you with the planning, have a ton of opinions.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Hand the planning over to me!

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF WORKING WITH A TRAVEL ADVISOR?

Travel advisors still play a crucial role in the travel industry, and their expertise and services continue to be highly valuable to clients. While technology has made it easier for travelers to book certain aspects of their trips online, travel advisors bring first-hand knowledge, a high touch experience, unmatched connections around the world, and in-destination support

HOW ARE YOUR PLANNING FEES CALCULATED?

By charging a planning fee, I can dedicate the necessary time and attention to detail to curate a personalized itinerary tailored to your preferences. My goal is to save you time, provide you with peace of mind, and ensure a seamless trip from start to finish. Our planning fees are calculated based on the complexity of the trip. This includes the number of legs, number of travelers, number of nights, and vicinity of time to departure.

DO YOU GET BETTER RATES THAN IF I BOOKED MYSELF?

My goal is to ensure that you have the best experience possible that is perfectly matched to your vision and interests. There are many times that I do have access to negotiated rates, but the real value is in how I can save you time, stress and frustration either prior to traveling or while actually in the destination.

I LOVE PLANNING! CAN WE STILL WORK TOGETHER?

A lot of the fun is researching and creating anticipation for the destination before traveling. As a travel agent, my goal is to enhance your travel experience and provide you with expert advice, personalized recommendations, and insider knowledge that you may not find on your own. I consider this a collaborative experience. However, I do offer consultation calls at a rate of $150/hr to pick my brain!

WHY DO YOU PROVIDE BUNDLED PACKAGE RATES?

As a travel advisor, my focus is on curating comprehensive travel experiences rather than just providing individual component prices. I take a holistic approach to trip planning, considering various factors such as accommodations, transportation, activities, and additional services to create a seamless itinerary tailored to your preferences.I can leverage my industry relationships to secure the best overall value for your trip.

DO YOU WORK WITH VRBO AND/OR AIRBNB

We do not work with properties that are individually managed. We are unable to stand behind the quality of individually owned properties. If you are looking for options with shared space (like a living room), we will work with our partners to find vetted villas, apartments, and/or hotels that meet your needs.
