Why Hire a Travel Advisor Instead of Booking It Yourself?

Personalized Travel Planning with Purpose, Perks & Peace of Mind

In a world filled with travel booking apps and discount websites, it might seem easy to plan your own vacation with just a few clicks. But when it comes to curating a seamless, unforgettable trip—a Travel Advisor is your secret weapon.

Hiring me as your travel advisor, it isn’t just about finding the cheapest flight or hotel. It’s about gaining a professional travel partner who works for you, not the algorithm or cutting the ‘cost’ corners.

Here’s why working with a travel advisor—like me at Big Beach Travel—makes all the difference:

You're Not Just Booking a Trip—You're Hiring an Expert

Planning travel can take dozens of hours of research: destinations, seasons, logistics, excursions, transfers, entry requirements, insurance… the list goes on.

I turn your Pinterest, Vision Board, Wishlist, and Bucket list into a real-world, well-executed travel experience.

I'm Not Just a Booking Agent—I’m Your Advocate

I don’t just click "Book Now" and look for the lowest cost options - which —I strategically build your itinerary to fit your travel style, timeline, and goals. This means:

• Hand-selecting the best accommodations and experiences

• Matching you with vetted and trusted suppliers

• Solving problems before they arise

• Providing human support before, during, and after your trip

And if something goes wrong? I’m one call or message away. No call centers. No bouncing around to find someone who cares.

Unlocking Perks You Can’t Find Online

Through my partnership with Fora Travel, Inc., I have access to:

• Exclusive hotel perks (like upgrades, resort credits, early check-in/late check-out)

• VIP experiences and packages not available to the public

• Insider access to vetted properties, guides, and suppliers around the globe

• Special pricing and promotions negotiated through travel advisor networks

These benefits aren’t available through public booking platforms—they’re only unlocked when you work with a professional.

Your Trip, Customized to You

Whether you're looking for a romantic escape, family adventure, wellness retreat, or celebration with friends, I create a custom itinerary that’s as unique as you are. No cookie-cutter travel here.

I take the time to get to know you—your travel style, your must-haves, your budget, your “absolutely nots”—so that every detail is tailored to your vision.

When You Hire Me, You Gain a Travel Partner

Think of me as your personal travel concierge:

• I’m invested in your experience

• I care about the little details

• I offer honest insight, curated recommendations, and real support

• I help you travel smarter—not just cheaper

The internet can give you information. But a travel advisor gives you transformation.
