Great question—and one that many travelers still ask. While saving money is a nice perk, the real value of a Personal Travel Creator lies in the time, expertise, and peace of mind we bring to the entire travel experience.
💼 Expertise You Can Trust
Travel creators are trained professionals who know the industry inside and out. From understanding visa requirements and travel insurance to knowing the best times to visit certain destinations, we bring years of real-world experience and ongoing education to the table.
🧭 Personalized Recommendations
We don’t just book trips—we design experiences! By getting to know your preferences, budget, and travel style, we craft itineraries that are tailored specifically to you, not just pulled from a generic travel site.
⏳ Time Savings
Planning a vacation can take hours—sometimes days. We streamline the process by doing the research, comparing options, and handling bookings, so you can focus on packing, not stressing.
⚖️ Problem Solvers & Advocates
If something goes wrong (delays, cancellations, resort issues, etc.), you’re not alone. We advocate on your behalf, helping you rebook, obtain information needed to file claims, or resolve conflicts faster than if you were on your own.
🛎️ Exclusive Perks & Upgrades
Thanks to relationships with travel suppliers, we often have access to amenities, upgrades, or package inclusions you won’t find online—like onboard credits, early check-ins, room upgrades, or complimentary spa services.
🧠 Insider Knowledge
Whether it’s knowing which cruise cabin to avoid or which resort offers the best dining, we provide insight you simply can’t get from a booking engine. Our recommendations are based on firsthand experience and trusted networks.
❤️ Human Touch
When you work with a travel creator, you’re not just a confirmation number. You’re a real person with unique needs, and we genuinely care about making your trip meaningful, seamless, and unforgettable.
We have amazing relationships with travel suppliers and Destination Management Companies from all over the world that we work with on a regular basis. We can literally send you anywhere you want to go - but here are a few things that we are most passionate about.
We love to cruise, and we are certified by all the major cruise lines that sail our oceans and rivers, We can help pair you with just the right ship and itinerary so that you have an awesome vacation! And, we have access to some pretty awesome group rates that can help you save money over the rates you may find online or by booking directly with the cruise line! Let us help arrange those pre- and post-cruise stays as well!
If you aren't a fan of cruising, no worries! We are also certified by all the major resort brands and can help find just the right island, beach, and resort for you and your family! For the most part, there aren't any all-inclusive resorts in the U.S. or any U.S territories, but you have plenty of options in the Caribbean - or what about the Maldives? French Polynesia perhaps?
Whether you want a cruise or a land vacation - Europe and Australia are some other great destinations! There is so much to see and do - and so much history to soak up - that your options are limitless! Ever consider an African Safari? We work with some great vendors that can curate an amazing itinerary for you and your family. Just let us know where you want to go and we will help you get there!
Want to stay in the U.S. and take the family on a vacation? How about visiting some of the great theme parks we have? We are fully certified by Disney, Universal, and Sea World. Never been to Discovery Cove? You HAVE GOT to try it! Especially if you or any of your family members are animal lovers! What about the new Epic Universe? We can put together a great package for your family that includes everything from airfare, resort stays, and tickets!
