Planning travel on your own can be time-consuming and stressful—especially when you want your trip to be enjoyable, smooth, and well-organized. A travel advisor takes that burden off your shoulders by offering expert guidance, personalized recommendations, and curated experiences tailored just for you.
At Ticket to Ride Travel, I help you clarify your vision, match you with the right destinations and accommodations, and coordinate all the logistics—from hotels and transfers to tours and activities. I also provide support before, during, and after your trip, so you're never navigating challenges alone.
Working with a travel advisor means more than convenience—it means peace of mind and a thoughtfully planned journey that reflects your interests and style.

While travel insurance isn’t always required, I highly recommend it for all travelers. Travel insurance can protect you against unexpected costs such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, flight delays, and more.
Many destinations are now requiring proof of coverage for medical care or COVID-related expenses, and some tour providers won't issue refunds without it. If you're investing in a big trip, travel insurance offers peace of mind and financial protection.
What does it typically cover?
Trip cancellations or interruptions
Emergency medical and dental care
Lost or delayed baggage
Travel delays
