Kind Words from Beautiful Clients

Recently completed a month long vacation to Italy that was planned and scheduled by Pam. It was a very detailed trip that included stops in Milan, Lake Como, Venice, Bologna, Cinque Terre, Florence, Tuscany, Sorrento and Rome. All accommodations, transportation, and activities in the various locations was meticulously planned out by Pam after consulting with us about our goals. As you might imagine there were a ton details that had to be spot on to make this trip a success. Pam's experience and her attention to detail proved to be invaluable. In addition, while on the trip she was engaged with us making certain that there is no hiccups and that we were enjoying the experience. It was a trip of a lifetime and my wife and I highly recommend her services. Thank you Pam.

Jeff U.Jeff U.Independent Private Travel

Pam was wonderful to work with. We wanted to take a trip but weren't sure where. We gave Pam just a few requirements (near water, relaxing, etc) from which she quickly gave us several options and locations. As we refined our "wish list" the details (and change in location) just got better and better. We had an amazing time in Costa Rica.

Abbe L.Luxury Getaway

First time we used Pam, was for multiple locations Turkey and Greece. All arrangements were professional and used above standard resources which eliminated all travel concerns. Made for a worry free first class trip. Would recommend for mature couples.

Steve C.Curated Personal Itinerary

Pam made the trip effortless. I've never used a travel agent before but definitely recommend her as a great resource. The trip was exactly what I wanted and I never would have found this particular cruise line without her assistance. There was great value in booking everything with Pam and she was a pleasure to work with.

Adele D.Luxury River Cruise

Pam was a joy to work with. She insured our journey was perfectly crafted and reasonably priced. She was also empathetic towards my concern with recent travel disruption in Europe and insured a seamless journey. As it turns out, I didn’t retire after all, but now return refreshed and energized, again dreaming of the next grand adventure curated by Pam.

Did Someone Say Seamless?

AVOID STRESS & TRAVEL WORRIES

Vacations are meant to relieve stress, not create more. Advisors have the knowledge and dexterity to act quickly when weather, natural disasters, and everything in between happen—adjusting air tickets and any travel plans with ease. Wherever you are in the world, I am standing by to assist you on every leg of your journey.  

 

EXPERT INTERPRETER & SKILLED NAVIGATOR

There’s a sea of travel information online. I know how to sail through the myriad of options available and steer clients in the right direction. I spend all day, every day, researching the best possible vacation options, knowing who to trust, where to go—and equally as important—where to avoid. I understand complex travel codes and internet jargon—and know how to make sense of the legalese and fine print for you.  

 

MATCHMAKER

One-size vacation does not fit all. Do you like to travel at a leisurely pace or at the speed of light? Are you a nature lover, history buff, foodie, or art fanatic? I take the time to discover your personal travel style and match you to the right experience.  

ADDED VALUE
I have access to exclusive perks and opportunities for savings, matching the best products and promotions to your personal dreams, desires, and budget. In addition to perks and pointers, I provide value you just can’t put a price on. A travel enthusiast myself, I can guide you to just the right restaurants, museums, and off-the-beaten-path excursions you won’t find in the guidebooks.

My Specialties

Travelers want curated experiences, and I utilize my intricate planning superpower to create one-of-a-kind experiences for my clients. While I have resources at my fingertips to plan your next vacation anywhere in the world doing everything you could dream of, I specialize in culture and culinary-rich travel focused on destinations such as Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

In Case You're Wondering . . .

Travel Advisor vs. Travel Agent – Is there a difference?The difference between a travel advisor vs. travel agent is being of service vs. providing a task. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term Travel Agent was first used in 1885, and is defined as: a person engaged in selling and arranging transportation, accommodations, tours, or trips for travelers. In other words, an order taker/fulfiller. Communication between an agent and client was based on individual transactions and largely reactionary.  An agent was more like an extension of the travel supplier, e.g. airline or hotel, and not a valuable counselor to the client.  

The relationship I have with my clients, as a Travel Advisor, is much different. I work for you. I advocate exclusively for you. I do not represent nor am I an extension of a particular hotel, cruise line, etc.

My role as an advisor is to get to know your likes and dislikes, your needs, your dreams of travel—this builds a full picture upon which I can be proactive in my suggestions, anticipate concerns, and continue that work for the next generation as well. My goal is to create a long-term relationship for you and your family.

What do Travel Advisors do that is any different than the deals on the internet?A Travel Advisor is not a tool. The Internet is. As your Travel Advisor, I use the tool to assist in creating a robust proposal for your future travel, and then I use my extensive personal relationships with hoteliers and other suppliers around the world to deliver a VIP experience to you.

I will pick up the phone or send a text message or write an email to you during a pandemic, hurricane or other time of need.  Artificial intelligence has not yet learned to replicate these human behaviors.

The internet is useful for me to:
-communicate speedily and accurately with clients and suppliers all over the world
-research options through proprietary web sites not available to consumers
-share consumer-directed sites that will benefit your own research, if you choose to

What does the collaborative process of working with you look like?Step 1: A Conversation

The first and most important step in trip planning is a comprehensive discussion between a potential client and me.  We discuss everything trip-related, from trip location, goals and interests, to must-haves and deal-breakers.  I estimate the potential fees associated with the booking.  If it seems that the client and I would be a good fit, I collect the non-refundable travel planning & support fee and begin my work.

Step 2: Proposal Collaborative Refinement

Based on our ongoing conversations, I create an initial proposal for your journey. We continue to work on the finer details of the proposal until you feel that it’s exactly what you envisioned.

Step 3: Booking and Anticipation of Travel

I’ll make sure that your pre-departure travel documentation is complete and provide it to you in digital (or paper, if you prefer) format so you have easy access to it before and during your travel. I’m here to answer any and all of your questions, and I will keep close watch on your future journey in case there are any additional opportunities to add additional benefits to your plans.

Step 4: Travel

While you’re away, I’m here for you—just a phone call, email or text away, and I’ll give you local contact details so you don’t have to wait on hold in destination. That’s my job to listen to music. It’s also my job to provide you direct access to me for emergency support. When I am away from the office, I have the full backup of my colleagues at my host agency, TL365. 

Step 5: Returning home with feedback

I want to hear all about what worked and what might have been better. This feedback enables me to make necessary adjustments for your future travels.

Do you specialize in any particular destination or type of travel?I do have my favorite destinations, like Australia and New Zealand, but I am a client specialist, not a destination or transportation specialist.  My role as your Travel Advisor is to understand the nuances of your preferences.  I have been fortunate to have traveled extensively, via land, sea, and independent touring. At my disposal are the vast resources of the Virtuoso supplier network as well as the accumulated knowledge of my Largay Travel colleagues, and my superpower is planning/logistics. I am a Certified Luxury Specialist.
