our Process
As a travel advisor my goal is to make sure that you find the right trip for you. A trip that allows you to follow your curiosity. A trip that brings happiness to everyone in your group and that delivers the experiences, memories and delights you’re dreaming of.
Once we find that trip, I’ll leverage my knowledge and connections to get you the best value in transportation, lodging and experiences, plus, in many cases, extras available only through travel advisors affiliated with my network. And if something goes wrong, I’ll represent you via my connections.
We’ll start with a short conversation about what you are generally interested in and our Cobblestone Inspirations support and service packages. If we agree to work together, I’ll send you a link to accept our terms and conditions and a credit card authorization for payment of your service and support package.
Depending on which package fits best with your travel needs, I’ll get started on arranging your trip or we’ll have a one hour private consultation. This can be by video call or, if you’re in the Petoskey area, we can meet in person. Our consultation will cover the important questions of: why are you going on this trip? What setting are you expecting? What sort of social scene do you enjoy? What type of dining do you prefer? What happenings and activities are you hoping for? What kind of cultural experiences are you looking forward to?
With that information, I’ll research the best way to bring all that to life in your perfect holiday. I’ll present two or three options in another zoom call (or meeting if you’re in the Petoskey area). If you choose one of them, I’ll make all the reservations for you. I’ll keep an eye on all of it as you approach your departure date, reminding you of payment deadlines, what travel documents you need and the like
My recommendations will always include a travel insurance offer that is appropriate for your trip in order to protect your investment before you depart and you and your belongings while you’re traveling.
You can enjoy your holiday with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your travel advisor has your back.
