What a week!!

👉I put together final documents in travel packets & had multiple meetings with clients who will be traveling in the coming weeks- in person, virtually & over the phone, at night, during the day & on the weekend. 👍 I researched & updated tips for destinations for my travelers’ benefit and I booked several new trips for next winter ( because I was tracking when flights were released for my returning clients desired vacation dates so I could alert them ASAP💻), I also repriced two upcoming trips to save my travelers some money since rates went down - I checked in on their behalf without them even knowing or asking me to. 💰I just did because I care and these bookings were able to be rebooked. 😊 I applied final payments on fall & winter bookings & sent along updated documents & tips, and assisted clients wanting to upgrade their airline seats by working with the supplier over multiple calls & extended hold times -Just so my travelers could have their experience customized to their preferences!! 😊All this while preparing for my own travels to a far-off destination to get current travel intel for my clients. 🧳

💫Just another week in a travel agent life!! Just some insights into what I do. 😃What can I do for you??

TUESDAY TRAVEL TIPS - 💰Edition Multi Post - #1

Planning your Vacation: Many considerations are involved in picking the right vacation for your desired price point!

👍Travel during the low season as prices are lower and the experience can still be extraordinary.
👉Be flexible with travel plans. Consider a different country or region then originally thought or some other dates.
😊Take advantage of promotions. Ask your travel agent for current specials and offers.
😃Sign up for an escorted tour vacation - likely including more sights, insights, transportation and special access at a pre-set price than exploring the region on your own.
🤗Take the whole family- make it a group - for the group rate!
❗️If traveling alone, consider an escorted tour vacation - for group travel rates and the security of a group setting.

Look Ahead: Some simple steps in everyday life can help you get more out of your vacation.

👏Trade your everyday indulgences for the “real thing” on vacation - ie. skip your daily Starbucks routine to save $ knowing you will enjoy an authentic cup of coffee in a destination like Italy or Costa Rica.
👍If you are a member of a museum or arts organization you may have access to discounts or admission to museums in other cities or countries too.
📞Set up international phone calling before departing on your travels.
👉Don’t wait to renew or apply for your passport - so you can avoid paying rush-related charges.
😃Take a snack & drink on the plane to avoid paying airline food prices.

Tuck these tips away then come back for more!!!😊

Costa Rica doesn’t have to be a “figure it out yourself” kind of trip. 🦥
I’ve got it covered for you.😃

👉Whether you’re picturing zip lining through the rainforest, spotting wildlife you’ve only seen on National Geographic, soaking in hot springs near a volcano, or ending your days on the beach with your toes in the sand… there’s a way to do it that actually fits you.👏
And that’s where I come in.

Through Globus family of brands, I have access to options that match you with the right style of travel so you’re not trying to piece it all together on your own.😊

👉Want something more independent with flexibility and freedom?
💕There are options for that.
👉Prefer a smaller group experience that feels a little more personal?
💕I’ve got that too.
👉Looking for a classic guided tour where everything is handled from start to finish? 💕Done.

Same country with so many different ways to experience it based on what you want your vacation to feel like❗️

You don’t have to choose between adventure, relaxation, or ease because I can take care of all of it for you with my preferred travel partner.🤗

If Costa Rica is even a maybe someday on your list, let’s turn it into a real plan for 2026 or 2027! 🍃Message me and I’ll help you find the right way to see it.
