Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does a travel consultant do?

A travel consultant helps you plan, book, and optimize your trips. Unlike traditional travel agents, I operate on a consultation-based model, meaning I recommend options based solely on what’s best for you— not on potential commissions. I handle everything from finding the best deals and avoiding hidden fees to creating efficient, personalized itineraries— so you can focus on enjoying your adventure.

2. How can you save me money if I have to pay consultation fees?

My fees are minimal compared to the savings you’ll gain. Because I don’t rely on commissions, I have the flexibility to choose the best value for your trip, whether it’s a boutique hotel, a unique local experience, or an optimized flight route. I secure exclusive deals, avoid costly booking mistakes, and streamline your itinerary to reduce unnecessary expenses. Think of it as an investment that often pays for itself in savings, upgrades, and smoother travel experiences.

💡For simpler trips like cruises or all-inclusive vacations, I offer a $99 Prepackaged Vacation Booking Fee, so you don’t need a full consultation. This includes expert guidance in selecting the best package for your needs, and the fee is credited toward any customizations or upgrades!

3. Can’t I just find deals online myself?

You can, but online deals often come with hidden fees, restrictions, or missed opportunities for bundling. Unlike commission-based agents, I have the flexibility to research and recommend the absolute best value across all booking platforms— without bias. Plus, I have insider access to exclusive rates, perks, and travel strategies that can significantly enhance your trip.

4. What types of trips do you plan?

I specialize in everything from honeymoons and family vacations to complex multi-destination itineraries and luxury getaways. Whether you need a well-structured trip with kids, a stress-free romantic getaway, or an adventurous, off-the-beaten-path journey, I tailor every detail to your unique needs and budget.

💡For those booking a prepackaged cruise or all-inclusive resort, I offer a hassle-free $99 booking service!

5. What’s included in your consultation services?

My services include completely unbiased trip planning, budget optimization, itinerary review, and insider tips to enhance your travel experience. Since I don’t rely soley on commissions, I focus on what’s genuinely best for your trip— helping you avoid common mistakes that could cost you time and money.
