What Happens When You Turn The Planning Over
TO AN 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 goes 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.
You're not a professional travel advisor.
Hand the planning over to me!
