Veronica Bird is a wife, mother, certified fitness instructor, and coffee enthusiast. She also sends people to Disney World and beyond. She and her family live in Papillion and love to travel. That interest led her to become an advisor with Fora Travel.
Since most people can book a hotel room with a tap of their finger, it is tempting to think Bird’s job is obsolete. But she has good news about that. Not only does she remove the hassle from traveling, but her services are free. And she offers several benefits.
“I get all the online discounts,” she says. “Plus, I have personal connections at resorts, hotels, and cruise lines. I can often get extra perks for my clients or find a better rate. Even after we have booked a trip, I keep tabs. If the price drops, I usually get clients the better rate.”
Her work isn’t done once a client departs, either. If things go wrong on the trip, she is quick to answer her phone and help with logistics. Best of all, Bird can advise many of her clients from personal experience. If she hasn’t visited a client’s dream destination, she probably knows a colleague who has. It’s like being friends with the locals who know all the best spots to eat, stay, and play.
Bird likes to meet with clients and ask what experience they want during their trip. She is happy to help with everything from a one-night stay at a local hotel to a months-long visit overseas. When asked her best advice for people considering travel, Bird says the answer is easy. “Life is short. Take the trip.”
