"I wasn't just balancing deadlines and assignments; I was also caring for infant twins. Between bottle schedules, nap routines, and trying to hold on to a sliver of personal time, I didn't have the energy for my usual deep-dive planning. That's why, for a long-awaited five-night trip to Paris with my mom and sister in June, I turned to a travel advisor - something I never thought I'd do, especially given my job."
"Our advisor kicked things off with a thorough 30-minute introductory call to learn about us as travelers. Not only did we discuss where we wanted to go, but also how we liked to spend our days, what types of hotels felt right, and what kind of experiences would make the trip memorable. I appreciated that she welcomed feedback, taking the time to explain why certain spots suited our travel style and why some of my initial "must-stay" picks might actually fall flat."
A travel writer who normally plans every trip solo lacked energy while caring for infant twins and enlisted a travel advisor for a five-night Paris trip with her mother and sister in June. The advisor was booked through travel agency Fora and sometimes did not charge fees, though rates vary by advisor. The advisor began with a 30-minute introductory call to learn travel preferences, hotel styles, and desired experiences. Recommendations included steering away from traditional tourist-area properties toward a modern, design-forward hotel and suggesting experiential activities like a small macaron-making class. The advisor welcomed feedback and helped prevent overplanning, producing tailored, memorable experiences.
