Let’s face it – booking travel online is easy. A few clicks, some flashy discounts, and you’re off! Or… are you?

Here’s the thing: behind every “too good to be true” deal is often a travel horror story waiting to happen – think non-refundable rooms, overnight layovers in dodgy terminals, or arriving to find your hotel is nothing like the photos.

That’s where a travel expert (like me, Dani!) makes all the difference.

1. Real Advice from a Real Person

You can’t ask Google what neighbourhood in Rome is best for foodies and has a kid-friendly park nearby. But you can ask me. I’ve been in this industry for over 25 years, and I know which properties are just photo filters and which ones offer real value.

2. More Than Just Flights and Hotels

Travel planning isn’t just booking – it’s understanding visa rules, travel insurance fine print, and staying on top of local health requirements or transport strikes. I’ve helped clients rebook flights mid-holiday when plans change, secured refunds where the internet would’ve said no, and found alternative hotels when volcanoes disrupted travel plans (true story!).

3. It’s Personal

When you work with a travel advisor, your trip becomes mine too. I’ve helped couples plan dream honeymoons, crafted surprise getaways for anniversaries, and arranged once-in-a-lifetime family adventures. I care about the why behind your trip – and that changes everything.

So, Should You Still Book Online?

Sure, if you're just flying two hours to visit a friend. But for once-in-a-lifetime journeys, complex itineraries, or simply peace of mind, let a real human help.
