Luxury Travel Planning: Outsource Your Vacation Planning Stress to a Travel Advisor
For over twenty years, I shared secret hotel gems, private guide tours and must eat restaurants with my friends, family, co-workers and frankly many strangers along the way. All through personal experience on the ground traveling solo. Taking all the good, bad and ugly days and sharing the stories which now were funny with hindsight. Now, when people think of traveling, they call me first because they know I have a hotel they’ve never heard of, an attraction that they need to add to their itinerary and local tastings/experiences to not miss. I’ve become a trusted travel advisor long before I decided to make it a business.
I visited Easter Island using British Airways Avios points and then was fortunate to find a Star Alliance award ticket to South Africa for a 27 day adventure that changed the course of my life. I started a blog, PhilaTravelGirl – Flying By the Seat of My Points, in the crowded blog space of anyone who travels can write a blog. I tried to be different bringing my corporate luxury travel experience, miles & points hobby and my desire to show others that they can travel the world for less and stay in amazing luxury. Luxury for less. I attended conferences and met amazing travel folks from around the globe that are now friends I meet and consult with regularly. A natural evolution to helping others with their travels via my blog posts is actually helping them plan and book their dream trips. So that’s where Arden Road Travel comes in. It’s the next step in my end to end travel knowledge and vast experience.
Time is a commodity in our busy lives and I had to laugh when someone commented “Travel Agents still exist”? Yes, we prefer the term “travel advisors” as we share our expertise with you and advise you on options to consider after we know your preferences. We provide a valuable service and charge a fee just like any other service professional. You might still be chasing hotel loyalty to earn status and free breakfast while a travel advisor already has that access to share with you. The loyalty game has changed and not for the better so why not use a travel advisor who is plugged into all the new offerings in travel? We’ve outsourced our lives already to accountants, lawyers, landscapers. home cleaners and even Uber so why not travel planning?
