Hint: It’s About More Than Just the Trip
Booking your dream trip doesn’t have to be stressful, especially when you have a travel advisor on your side.
“Why Should I Use a Travel Advisor?”
It’s a question I hear often.
Recently, someone asked me:
“Why should I use a travel advisor when I can just book everything online?”
So I asked them a simple question in return:
“Then why haven’t you already?”
They paused for a moment.
“Honestly? I’m overwhelmed. I don’t know where to start, and I don’t want to mess it up.”
Exactly. That’s what I help with.
What a Travel Advisor Actually Does
When you book with me, you’re not just getting a reservation—you’re getting an entire strategy. I guide you through the entire planning process, ask the right questions, and help you avoid common mistakes (like booking a nonrefundable hotel that’s under renovation).
Sure, you could spend hours searching Google or scrolling through review sites…
But will Google:
Check if your connecting flights make sense?
Watch for last-minute changes or cancellations?
Advocate for you when things go sideways?
Customize a trip based on your exact travel style?
Probably not.
DIY Travel vs. Working with a Pro
Planning it yourself means you’ll also need to manage:
Hours of research
Navigating booking platforms, cancellation policies, and reviews
Visa and passport requirements
Travel insurance options
Hidden fees and transfer logistics
Handling disruptions or rebookings
Or—you could hand it all off to someone who does this professionally, and has access to insider tools, upgrades, and exclusive offers you won’t find online.

My client ended our conversation by saying,
“You know what? I’d rather just do it right from the start. I don’t want to waste time or money trying to figure it all out on my own.”
And that’s what I love to hear. When people realize that booking with a travel advisor isn’t an extra—it’s a smarter way to travel.
