My travel advising services include:

  • Quotes & shopping: I check multiple travel companies to make sure you're getting the best price and the product that best meets your needs
  • I offer both standard tours and cruises but specialize in customized itineraries and pre & post cruise/tour packages. You will not find these customized itineraries online – they are 'un-googleable' 
  • ​I have affiliations with elite travel associations which get my client's special perks, discounts, and value-added amenities you won't find online
  • I offer the best in the industry travel protection insurance policies. These are policies that cannot be purchased directly with the insurance companies, they are only sold through travel advisors
  • ​I handle all of the booking procedures for you
  • I process all of the payments for you
  • ​I give you detailed information about the next steps from booking to embarking on your journey
  • I keep in touch every few weeks or so and send interesting destination information and tips for travel
  • ​Any changes or updates I handle for you with the travel suppliers saving you time waiting on hold and contacting multiple companies, I am your one point of contact 
  • I am usually available for urgent matters outside office hours, within reason
  • ​​About a week prior to departure, I double check your reservations and make sure you're good to go
  • IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE TO CANCEL or postpone your trip, I am available to make all of the arrangements. If there is an emergency before your trip or on your trip, I am the 2nd point of contact (Insurance company is 1st) to help coordinate all of the changes - subject to time zones and my availability. The insurance company provides 24 hour emergency assistance. If you decline insurance, I regret I cannot guarantee my availability. 
  • Should you cancel and there are refunds and/or credits due to you from the travel vendors, I chase all of that down for you again saving you a lot of time

  • ​Should you cancel or re-book your trip, the fee becomes non-refundable. Should you re-book, the fee is not charged again and reimbursed after you travel
  • HOWEVER, most travel insurance policies do cover this non-refundable booking fee as long as you cancel for a covered reason and your claim is approved. Therefore travel protection insurance is highly recommended.
