✨ **I DON’T CHASE BUSINESS. I LET THE EXPERIENCE SPEAK FOR ITSELF.** ✨

In a world where travel advisors are everywhere, I believe the difference isn’t in how many clients you have, how loudly you promote yourself, or how hard you chase a sale. It’s in the **quality of the service, the value of the experience, and the trust you build along the way.**

At PurpleRock Travel LLC, I believe in the power of word of mouth. When someone has a great experience working with me and recommends my services to a friend, family member, or colleague, that speaks volumes. To everyone who has referred someone my way, recommended my business, or trusted me with their travel plans — **THANK YOU!** Your confidence in me is never taken for granted. 💜

But let me be clear: **I’m intentional about the clients I take on.** Every inquiry isn’t automatically the right fit, and every booking isn’t just about making a sale. I value relationships, mutual respect, clear communication, and clients who appreciate the time, expertise, and care that go into planning a memorable trip.

I’m not here to compete on quantity. I’m here to deliver quality.

My goal has never been to be the travel advisor for everybody. It’s to be the *right* travel advisor for the people who value what I bring to the table.

Because at the end of the day, a successful travel business isn’t just measured by how many people you book — it’s measured by the experiences you create and the people who trust you enough to come back and send others your way.

🌍 **TRAVEL BITES: Solo Travelers, Watch the “Single Supplement”!**

Traveling solo can be incredibly freeing—but sometimes your wallet gets penalized for traveling alone. 😩✈️

A recent study found that **Thailand is one of the best destinations for solo travelers looking to minimize the “solo tax,”** or the additional cost charged to travelers booking alone.

🇹🇭 **Khao Lak** ranked #1 for the lowest solo surcharge, with solo travelers paying about **21% more** than travelers sharing a room. Phuket, Pattaya, and Bangkok also ranked among destinations with relatively low solo supplements.

For comparison, **Barcelona reportedly had one of the highest solo surcharges at 84%**—a significant difference for a weeklong vacation!

So, what exactly is a “solo tax”? It can show up as a **single supplement on hotels and cruises, higher excursion costs, or pricing designed around double occupancy.**

💡 **The good news?** Traveling solo doesn’t always mean paying significantly more. The right destination, hotel, cruise, and travel strategy can make a big difference.

✨ **Planning your next solo adventure?**
Let PurpleRock Travel help you find destinations and travel options that work for **you—and your budget.**

🚨✈️ **TRAVEL ALERT: AMERICAN AIRLINES JUST CHANGED ITS 24-HOUR REFUND RULE!**

If you’re booking a flight on American Airlines, **PAY ATTENTION!** 👀

As of **July 30, 2026**, the airline changed the rules for getting a full refund when canceling a **nonrefundable ticket within 24 hours of purchase.**

⚠️ **HERE’S WHAT CHANGED:**

❌ **OLD RULE:** Flight had to be booked at least **2 days before departure**

✅ **NEW RULE:** Flight must be booked at least **7 days before departure**

That means if your flight is departing in less than 7 days, **don’t assume you have the 24-hour refund protection.**

💡 **Travel Tip:** Airline policies can change—and the fine print matters!

Japan 🇯🇵 has been one of the most challenging trip I put together for a group of 5, with one person still traveling as her 2.5 weeks is ending in South Korea🇰🇷 …. I was on a group cruise but still managed to address some unforeseen issues with one of her hotel and tour..12 hour difference didn’t matter…11pm or 5am, I was attending to her needs. So to receive a message from her that someone she met on tour wanted my contact information, speaks volume. Some may say you don’t need a travel agent to book your travel…and that’s true because we DON’T just book your travel, we MANAGE your vacation experience from beginning to end 💜💪🏽💜
