The best way to recharge
As a hospice nurse, work was really weighing on me. My fiance and I were planning our honeymoon and talking about getting away to the Caribbean beaches, but researching all the details was overwhelming. We reached out to Kim, and we were so glad we did. Working with her was a blast! She figured out exactly what we wanted and we had the best vacation. It was exactly what we needed to recharge. I came back to work feeling refreshed and grateful for life.

Vacation Planning Comes with
Lots of Questions.
Here are the answers to a few things you might be wondering about.
Q: How much does it cost to work with a Travel Agent?
A: The biggest misconception most people have is that there’s an extra cost for working with a Travel Agent. The truth is that your vacation will cost the same either way. Working with me should be an easy decision because you’ll never pay me a penny. All of my costs are covered by the cruise and resort companies I partner with, but I only recommend the ones I personally know and trust.
Q: How do I plan a vacation?
A: Honestly, I’d have to write a book to give you all my secrets, so it’s best to just schedule a quick chat so I can learn more about you and the kind of vacation you want. Then, I’ll get to work and handle all the details for you so you can focus on making the memories!
Q: What is a travel agent?
A: A travel agent is responsible for planning your vacation so you don’t have to worry about all of the details. They will help you get the best resorts, cruises, and excursions for your budget and vacation goals. They do this through partnerships and real life relationships with vendors on the ground. A good travel agent will have access to vendors that aren’t available for you as an individual consumer.
Q: What should I look for in a travel agent?
A: Look for a travel agent who is highly organized and professional and who loves travel. They should be up to date in training and certifications in the industry. Look for personal referrals and reviews. While most travel agents specialize in a specific type of travel, they should work with many suppliers of hotels and cruise lines.
Expect your travel agent to ask you questions about the kind of trip you want, any special events you’re celebrating, and who will listen to your requests. Then they will get to work creating a seamless travel experience so you can create lasting memories with your friends and family.
Q: What does a travel agent do?
A: A good travel agent will get to know you and your vacation preferences. Then they will get to work crafting an itinerary that includes your flight details, resort or cruise reservations, and any excursions you’d like to add on. You will still be involved in the fun part of travel planning, like dreaming about the places you’d like to go and the things you’d like to do. The travel agent handles the details of your vacation itinerary. They work with various suppliers to find the best rates and availability. Then if plans change, the travel agent can help you pivot your trip plans without you having to take on the extra time, money and hassle.
If you run into any problems on vacation, your travel agent should do the problem solving while you’re sipping umbrella drinks.
Travel agents can work with large groups, families, or individuals and they create seamless travel packages their clients love.
Q: Do I need a travel agent?
A: When you book yourself, you’ll do all of the planning, research, and reservations before the trip and you have no one to call if something happens on vacation. That means the time that should be spent making memories is spent researching, rescheduling, and problem-solving.
And since there’s no extra fee for working with me, most people prefer not to do all the detailed work themselves.
Q: I’m planning a cruise for the first time, what do I need to know?
A: The first thing I do when I work with a new client is to get to know their needs. We talk about what kind of trip they are dreaming of, where they want to go, and what they want to do. Everyone has a different travel style so understanding my clients’ needs is always my first step.
Once I know what they are looking for, I know which places to recommend. I’ll help recommend which cruise lines they would like best, what hotel chains to consider, which restaurants to dine in, which islands they may want to visit, and a lot more. It’s all based on who is traveling with them, the ages of guests, how long they want to travel, and their budget.
When we settle on the itinerary, I provide a guide with many helpful tips and tricks so they can travel safely and easily. I also encourage them to download the cruise app if it’s applicable to their trip, and give them a packing guide that includes links to order helpful travel tools.
Q: Can you help me plan a honeymoon?
A: Absolutely. Contact me as soon as you get engaged. We will meet to discuss your likes, dislikes, and wish list. You can take the time to focus on planning the wedding without worrying about the honeymoon. I’ll take care of the honeymoon details, ensuring that you enjoy the memories for a lifetime!
Q: How to choose a honeymoon destination?
A: When I help someone choose a honeymoon destination, here are some of the questions I ask:
- What are you hoping to do and see on your honeymoon?
- What do you consider a reasonable budget?
- Do you like tropical or rainforest destinations?
- Do you have passports? Do you want to stay stateside or travel outside the country?
- Do you prefer adventure or beach/relaxation?
- Do you want to engage in their culture and do sightseeing?
- Are you foodies?
- Do you prefer a cruise or an all-inclusive resort?
- What will make you say, “That was an amazing experience!”?
- What don’t you want to do? What is a deal breaker?
- Where have you traveled in the past?
- When you travel, what hotel chain do you stay at?
- When you go on dates, where do you go to dinner?
Based on their answers to those questions, I have a pretty strong sense for what options to present so clients can choose from the cruise lines, hotels, restaurants, and excursions that will fit with their needs and interests. I love that I can reduce the overwhelm of vacation planning by filtering out the locations and vendors that don’t align with my client’s needs.
When you look back on your life, you won’t remember what you bought, but you will remember where you went — and who you took with you.
