Get the elevated and enriching travel you really want...without having to lift a finger or pay a penny extra
Yes, you can travel...
With No Stress
You'll be able to practically just pack and show up. I do all the work and I have your back all along the way.
With No Frustration
Ugh, those corporate call centers -they're the bane of the travel industry! I'm the one on hold with them for hours- not you.
And With No Fee
The cruise & tour lines pay me commission to provide you personal attention and service. I charge nothing extra.
Travel planning can be so overwhelming.
There are so many options, and the ones easy to find online aren't necessarily the ones you want.
You want the ones that are right for you.
The ones that take into account your special interests, your preferences, your dreams, your desires. The ones that are more elevated, more enriching, more indulgent, and more ethical.
So where do you turn to find them?
You have three options:
- your travel agent
- the cruise or tour line
- third party corporate sites.
And only one gives you the same, real, travel professional to work with - to help relieve your stress and anxieties all along the way, from planning to return home (the others just give you anonymous call centers).
How to decide which is right for you? Ask yourself...
- Who do I want assisting me, supporting me and even advocating for me, if needed, in this new (and far more chaotic) travel era?
- Would I rather have a real human travel expert who cares about me and my trip answer my calls, texts and emails or rely on automated systems, bots and random clerks at corporate call centers?
- Do I enjoy being treated like a valued client or do I prefer being just a number?
- Do I want to work with someone who understands that I get nervous, who encourages me to contact them when I do, and who doesn't judge me for it?
The choice is yours. There is a way to travel better. And be happier.
I'm Stef Katz, an old-school, customer service & satisfaction focused travel agent who works to ease travel stresses for my fellow introverts, intellectuals and indoor enthusiasts.
I know those anxieties and "what if" thoughts that can have us just staying home or choosing mediocre cruises and tours because we don't know where to find the better experiences or who to collaborate with to get them.
I've been there, felt that.
It was my daughter's Make-A-Wish trip that showed me how worry-free and enjoyable the whole travel experience could be, giving me a caring and connected professional who did all the work and was there to fall back on rather than my old "DIY & hope for the best" method that came with lots of frustration and random call center clerks.
It's been my mission since 2016 to bring my clients that same peace of mind.
