You are taking  a vacation to relax and see the world.  Planning a trip can be very stressful and challenging depending on what your plans are.  I minimize the stress by doing the research, making the phone calls, comparing prices, completing full itinerary with documents and everything else.  This give you more time to enjoy the trip and less time worrying about it.  I will follow up with you before and after to make sure everything went as planned.  While on your trip I am there to help if any issues arise that I am able to assist with.  You don't get that type of service by booking on your own through a warehouse store or website.  

Zero.  My travel planning services are complimentary for you.  Anytime you book any sort of travel, there is always a commission built into the price, whether or not you use a travel agent.  So basically if you don't use a travel agent you are paying for a service you are not getting the benefit from.   

This is your trip so you can be involved in as much or as little as you like. I want to make sure the trip is exactly as you imagined.
