Gretchen Stuppy Carlson
Planning travel can be hard. As a travel agent, I work with people to plan amazing adventures. Each trip is unique with different people, different goals and different destinations. And the one thing I’ve learned again and again: travel planning takes a lot of time.
I’m here to help. While I do work with a limited number of traditional travel agent clients, I love offering travel coaching and consulting. These sessions offer the best of both worlds! You get expert advice with tips and suggestions on planning, lodging, and activities, and you still maintain the flexibility of booking everything yourself.
I offer travel coaching sessions to help you design your next itinerary or travel coaching services that help you plan your own travel goals and creating more meaningful travel experiences. I offer suggestions on your itinerary, tips on the best hidden spots, resources to help you plan, and tools to help you make your trip more meaningful.
Here’s how it works:
- Choose a coaching session service from the list below and schedule a call with me – Gretchen. You can do this using the calendar below. (to schedule a call, please email me a gretchen@chasingadvntr.com)
- I will send you a short information gathering survey so I can come prepared to talk about your destination. If it’s an area I don’t specialize in, I will tell you and point you towards a good resource. If I can offer consulting of coaching for your destination, I will send you a link to make payment and confirm our meeting.
- We will meet for 40 minutes to discuss your destination, travel goals, or answer your questions.
- After our meeting, I will compile notes and send you information to help you plan your trip. If we discussed specific itineraries, I will send you an itinerary and provide as many resources as you need. I will send you this information.
- This keeps you in the driver seat but gives you amazing travel insights and tools to make travel planning easy and say you hours of time.
What You’ll Get from your Session
- Practical travel tips and suggestions
- Ideas for places to visit, and hidden gems
- A follow up list of all suggestions and links to tours or hotels discussed
- Itinerary (if discussed during our session)
