Today's Travelers

Where they're going and what they're doing... A recap of travel bookings made by my clients today that may help to inspire your next adventure.

Although I tend to focus on low prices and last minute steals and deals, what is truly most important to me is as a travel professional is...

$$ VALUE $$

Maximize what you get for what you spend.  My latest obsession is Escorted Tours.  The number of travelers that come to me after a trip and tell me how they wish they had done more research, seen more, or experienced more is countless.  With such an amazing world, it's rare to re-visit any but our very favorite destinations, so the regret I hear from people about feeling that they missed their opportunity to take in as much as possible during their trip is quite common.  Or equally, the number that say how overwhelmed they felt trying to do the research, to figure out how to truly have the very best experience during their travels.  Finally, I also hear too many stories of people going basic up front with their arrangements, only to spend more than they wanted to during their trip because of last minute, on-the-road add-ons.  I've become a big fan (especially if your time is tight, you haven't researched thoroughly, or it's your first visit to a destination) of putting time and effort into matching the right Tour with the right Traveler.  Everything (or nearly everything) is taken care of and your trip can be hassle-free.

Here's an example of an amazing Tour that some of my clients booked today...
