A fellow travel agent recently answered this question in a post, and I thought it was SUCH a great topic to touch on because I hear this more often than you might think:

“I don’t use a travel agent because they charge fees.”

Here’s the thing… I DON’T. 🤍

Other travel agents may choose to charge planning or service fees, but my travel planning services come at no additional cost to you. I am paid by the travel supplier after you travel—not by adding a fee onto your vacation.

And your vacation doesn’t have to be a huge, expensive trip for me to want to help you.

✨ Booking a week-long Disney vacation? I’m here.
✨ Planning a Universal getaway? I’m here.
✨ Taking a Disney Cruise? I’m here.
✨ Need a quick 3-day ticket purchase? I’m still here.

Whether your vacation is $500 or $10,000+, you are my client, and you will receive the same respect, urgency, attention to detail, and excitement from me.

There is no trip that is “too small” for me to care about.

When you book through me, you’re not paying extra to have a travel agent—you’re simply choosing to have someone in your corner who can help with the details, answer the questions, watch for available promotions, and make the planning process a whole lot less overwhelming.

You take the vacation. I’ll help take care of the details. ✨

Ready to start planning? Send me a message! Even if you’re just starting to think about a trip, I’d love to chat. 💕
