An Amazing Outlook in Pienza!
Travel possesses the remarkable ability to transform our thoughts and emotions. Essentially, altering our physical surroundings can influence our emotional perspective. To paraphrase Jimmy Buffett, changing your latitude can indeed change your attitude! Nevertheless, the process of orchestrating a vacation can be a source of stress. As your dedicated travel consultant, I am committed to investing time and effort in ensuring your satisfaction with your travel choices — both prior to and during your trip, as well as after your return. Whether your travel aspirations include relaxation, romance, adventure, cultural immersion, a connection with nature, or quality time with family and friends, my objective is to streamline the planning process for you, enabling you to maximize your vacation experience.
After spending three decades teaching literature and theater arts, transitioning into a career as a travel advisor felt like a natural progression. Literature and theater, in their respective ways, invite readers, actors, and audiences to explore the world through diverse perspectives. Travel does precisely that! As a travel advisor, I still view myself as an educator, albeit with a much larger classroom. My passion for helping others discover the world remains as strong as ever. Moreover, my teaching career has equipped me with several invaluable skills essential in the travel industry, such as effective communication, organization, time management, problem-solving, addressing unique needs, and multitasking, among others. Combined with my insatiable appetite for learning, you can rest assured that I delve deep into researching destinations, hotels, tour operators, airlines, and their promotional offerings.
Furthermore, much like the relationships I built with my students, I am now dedicated to cultivating strong connections with my travel clients. My primary focus is on YOU, the traveler, tailoring my services to your individual needs, desires, budget, and preferred travel style. I work on your behalf — not on behalf of hotel chains or tour companies. This is why many of my clients return to me time and again.
Let me change your outlook on travel, so travel can change your outlook on life.
Testimonials I've Received
Carol has planned 3 AMAZING vacations for me so far: Grand Cayman, Costa Rica, and Jamaica. All I had to do was tell her what I would like in terms of hotel, food, & tours, and she made it happen every time. Before Carol, I had planned my own trips. It sure is nice to have someone research for you, find the best deals, book for you, answer questions for you, and be a quick call, email, or PM away instead of doing it all on your own.
Carol is our go to travel expert. We always rely on her knowledge of resorts and destinations to help us choose the right vacation. We have used her several times and have always had great experiences. We highly recommend her!
Carol took into consideration all of our picky wants, and basically made magic happen!
