Travel Agent 101
What Does a Travel Agent Actually Do?
If you’ve ever planned a trip, you know it can quickly turn into a full-time job. Between comparing prices, reading reviews, tracking down promotions, and figuring out what actually works for your family, travel planning can feel overwhelming.
That’s where a travel agent comes in—and no, we don’t just book flights. 😉
As a travel agent, my job is to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on the fun part: looking forward to your trip.
But Wait… Your Services Are Free?
Yes—my planning services are completely free to you.
I’m paid directly by travel suppliers (such as hotels or vacation providers) after you travel. This means:
You pay the same price you would if you booked on your own
There are no extra fees for using me
You get personalized support, guidance, and advocacy at no cost
Think of it like having an expert guide who helps you avoid mistakes, save time, and feel confident about your plans—without adding anything to your bill.
Ready to Plan Without the Stress?
My goal is simple: to make travel feel exciting again—not overwhelming.
If you’re dreaming about your next adventure but don’t know where to start (or don’t have the time to plan it all), I’d love to help.

So… What Do I Do?
Here’s a peek behind the scenes at what a travel agent actually does for you:
✨ Personalized Planning
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all vacations. I take the time to learn about you—your travel style, your priorities, your budget, and your family’s needs. From sensory-friendly considerations to must-do experiences, your trip is built around what matters most to you.
✨ Research & Options
I research resorts, itineraries, room types, and transportation so you don’t have to fall down a Google rabbit hole at midnight. I narrow down the best options and explain the pros and cons in plain language.
✨ Booking & Organization
I handle reservations, confirmations, and important details so nothing gets missed. You get clear information without the clutter.
✨ Promotions & Price Monitoring
When discounts or promotions are released, I check to see if they apply to your trip and adjust your booking when possible. You don’t have to constantly watch prices—I do that for you.
✨ Support Before & During Travel
Questions before you go? I’m here. Something unexpected pop up while you’re traveling? You have someone in your corner who knows your trip and can help troubleshoot.
Why Use a Travel Agent Instead of Booking Yourself?
You can plan your own trip—but you don’t have to do it alone.
Using a travel agent means:
Less stress and less guesswork
Someone who understands the details and fine print
Support when plans change or things don’t go as expected
A trip that feels thoughtfully planned, not rushed or overwhelming
Especially for busy families, first-time travelers, or anyone who wants a smoother experience, having a travel agent can make all the difference
