Why Book Travel with AdventureAble Travel?
As both a travel advisor and a licensed Occupational Therapist, I bring a unique combination of travel expertise and professional planning skills to every itinerary. Occupational therapists are trained to evaluate individual needs, solve problems, coordinate complex details, and create personalized plans that help people achieve their goals.
I apply these same skills to travel planning by designing customized itineraries that reflect your interests, abilities, preferences, and travel style. Whether you have mobility concerns, sensory sensitivities, hearing or visual impairments, are traveling with young children, aging parents, or simply want a trip tailored to your needs, I help create travel experiences that are comfortable, enjoyable, and accessible.
As an avid traveler, I combine firsthand travel experience with professional expertise to anticipate challenges, recommend solutions, and help you travel with confidence. My goal is to remove the stress of planning so you can focus on creating meaningful memories.
Why Use a Travel Advisor?
Planning a vacation can be time-consuming and overwhelming. A travel advisor saves you hours of research by matching you with destinations, accommodations, tours, cruises, and experiences that fit your goals and preferences.
Many people are surprised to learn that using a travel advisor often does not cost extra. Travel advisors are typically compensated through commissions paid by travel suppliers such as hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, and resorts and do not charge additional fees. That commission is built into the price whether you book directly with the supplier (cruise line, hotel, resort...) or through an advisor.
Rather than spending countless hours researching on your own, you can work with a professional who provides personalized recommendations, customized itineraries, expert guidance, and support before, during, and after your trip. The result is a more seamless travel experience, greater peace of mind, and a vacation designed specifically for you.
Do You Specialize in Accessible Travel?
Yes! Accessible travel is one of the core focuses of AdventureAble Travel. As a licensed Occupational Therapist, I understand that every traveler has unique abilities, preferences, and support needs. Accessibility means different things to different people, and thoughtful planning can make all the difference in creating a successful travel experience.
I work with individuals, families, caregivers, and multigenerational groups to help identify accommodations and travel options that best meet their needs. This may include mobility considerations, sensory sensitivities, hearing or visual impairments, cognitive support needs, dietary requirements, medical equipment considerations, or simply finding destinations and activities that are comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
My goal is to help make travel more accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable so that every traveler can focus on the experience rather than the obstacles.
Can You Create Custom Trips Abroad?
Absolutely! I design fully customized international travel experiences tailored to your interests, travel style, and needs. I work with a variety of trusted travel partners to match you with the best options for your individual trip, whether you're planning cultural exploration, adventure travel, relaxation, or multigenerational family travel.
I handle the complex details such as flights, accommodations, transfers, excursions, and accessibility considerations, while anticipating potential challenges along the way.
The goal is to simplify international travel, reduce stress, and ensure you feel confident and supported from planning to return.
