Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why should I work with a travel advisor when I can book everything online?It doesn’t make sense to work with a travel advisor every time you hit the road. Some trips are straightforward, or you might really enjoy doing the research, or you may be searching for the internet’s best deal. In those situations, it’s best to handle the planning yourself. But if you are planning a trip that is: special, say for a celebration complex to a new destination, perhaps on a once in a lifetime travel adventure OR you want to make the most of your time and budget you don’t have 60+ hours to plan, book, revise, and tweak you would like access to exclusive experiences, upgrades, and amenities these are situations to which a travel advisor can lend expertise and add value.

Do I really need travel insurance?Yes, I recommend Travel Insurance to protect your health and safety as well as your travel investment. Your itinerary quote will include an insurance component outlining the costs. Travel insurance is payable at the time of your deposit to ensure that you have complete coverage in the event something goes wrong before or during your trip.

I have invested in training, systems, and industry relationships so that I can bring a high level of expertise and service to your travel planning.
