Frequently asked questions.

Why should I use a travel advisor?

Using a travel advisor is a wonderfully personal experience because you know exactly who will be on the other end of the phone when you call. You're working with someone who genuinely cares about you and is dedicated to ensuring you have the best vacation possible, filled with amazing memories. Travel advisors take away the stress and give you back your valuable time, making travel planning effortless and enjoyable. By understanding your unique wishes and preferences, a travel advisor will tailor every detail of your trip to match your dreams, creating a vacation that is truly one-of-a-kind and perfectly suited to you.

How are you paid as a travel advisor?

As your travel advisor, I’m compensated through commissions paid by the travel suppliers I partner with, such as hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators. This arrangement allows me to provide you with expert, personalized service at no extra cost for many bookings, ensuring I can focus on tailoring your trip to your needs and preferences.

Do you charge extra fees?

I’m delighted to offer my travel planning services without any extra fees, making it easy and affordable for you to enjoy expert guidance. However, please note that this is subject to change, and I'll always be transparent about any potential fees before we start planning your trip. My goal is to ensure your travel experience is smooth, enjoyable, and perfectly tailored to you.

Do I need a passport?

Yes, you'll need a passport for most international travel and cruising. It serves as your primary identification and is required for entering and exiting foreign countries. Even for cruises that start and end in the same U.S. port, a passport is essential for visiting international ports of call. Having a passport ensures you can explore freely and handle any unexpected changes in your itinerary. If you don't have one yet, I can guide you through the application process to ensure you're ready for your adventure!

Where can I find details on passport requirements, travel advisories, and safety information for my destination?

For comprehensive details on passport requirements, travel advisories, and safety information for your destination, visit travel.state.gov. This official U.S. government resource provides up-to-date information to help you prepare for a safe and well-informed journey.

Do I need travel insurance?

Travel insurance is a vital safety net that I strongly recommend for every trip. It covers unexpected events such as medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and travel delays, offering peace of mind and financial protection. While it's not mandatory, opting out does require signing a waiver acknowledging the risks.

I collaborate with trusted travel insurance providers to offer you tailored coverage options. Although I'm not a licensed agent, I can connect you with my expert partners who are ready to answer any questions and provide detailed guidance. Your safety and comfort are my top priority, and I’m here to ensure you have everything you need for a worry-free trip.
