What role does your firsthand travel experience play in crafting itineraries for clients?
My firsthand travel experience plays a crucial role in crafting itineraries because it allows me to offer insights and recommendations that go beyond what’s found in a guidebook. Having personally visited many of the destinations I recommend, I can suggest hidden gems, share local favorites, and ensure the itinerary aligns with the authentic feel of the destination. It’s one thing to read about a place, but having been there, I can provide a more nuanced and personal perspective to create truly unique, meaningful experiences for my clients.
