😊 Good Monday Morning! Just a friendly reminder from your favorite travel advisor...
Your travel advisor isn’t your free research team. We spend countless time researching and doing a ton of behind the scenes work, and we don't get paid until you book with us.
When I spend hours creating quotes, looking for cruise itineraries, and building the perfect vacation for you—it’s because I trust we’re doing this together.
So when that info gets used to book somewhere else on your own? That wasn’t "getting ideas.” That was my time, energy, and expertise all taken for free.
❓️ Want expert advice, someone who will be with you from start to finish, and sometimes can get extra perks.....call on me!
❓️ Prefer to book it all yourself? Totally fine too.
❌️ But mixing the two? That’s where things take a turn south and I often get the bad end of the deal. I cannot help with things not booked through me, and putting together pieces and parts of a trip can often lead to confusion and gaps that I would normally not encounter when I curate an entire trip.
I’m not…
❌️ A search engine.
❌️A hobbyist.
❌️A free helper after you booked elsewhere.
👩🏻💻 I’m a professional. I invest in continuing education, industry certifications, and staying ahead of the ever-changing world of travel so you don’t have to. I know all the tips and tricks and correct documents you will need for your trip, and as a client will pass on all of that knowledge to you. I love doing this and helping my clients, because I want your trip to be perfect!
📲So if you book with someone else or direct, please direct all questions and help requests there too. Who you book with is your contact point. That may be a website where humans don't often answer, someone who is less experienced than me, or yourself.
You wouldn't call a real estate agent and get information to sell your house yourself, and you wouldn't contact an insurance agent just to go online and purchase the same policy, would you?
It’s hard to say no when I care about all your trips—but my services are for my booked clients. That’s how I ensure they get the attention and time they deserve. I am always available for those who utilize my services and have vacations planned with me! I often cannot spend time for those who are just searching for information, and it's not fair to myself or others when my time is taken up with those that do not plan on booking with me.
✨ If you’re looking for a travel partner who will go the extra mile, I’m here and ready to help you plan an amazing vacation. If not planning on booking with me, I ask you to please respect my time.
