Introduction

Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Megan and I am a certified IATA holder with years of experience. I specialize in custom trips, so every aspect of the planning process is unique to you and your travel companions. I work to create an individualized and unique plan/itinerary for your travel needs and we then work together to finalize the details to your liking. No matter where you are in the planning process, we can work together to make sure that your trip is everything you hoped for. I love to travel and plan, so working with clients to build their custom trips is the perfect combination of both! I have extensive experience planning and traveling throughout Europe, the Caribbean and many other locations. I look forward to helping you plan your dream trip! Feel free to check out my company website for further details on the planning process. Please note that at this time, my company only works on international travel, with the exception of Hawaii and Alaska and I only conduct business in English.

Megan was AWESOME. She helped coordinate a 17 day trip across 5 cities in 3 countries for my honeymoon, and it was spectacular. She was incredibly responsive, and when we had a natural disaster while on vacation throw off a bunch of our plans, she was very responsive and saw to getting us new arrangements. Very professional and can easily flex between value based travel and high end luxury. I’d strongly recommend to anyone looking to take a special trip and not have to worry about it. On top of it all, she was incredibly reasonable on price compared to others. I will be using her services again for sure!

Details: Honeymoon • 2 people • 21 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • Booking travel • Booking accommodations • Planning excursions • Air • Remotely (phone or internet)

I have been making my own travel arrangements for the past ten years. However, for our recent trip to France, I needed help because our itinerary was a little complicated for me and I did not feel confident about making the right travel arrangements. Also, as seniors, we now have less time and energy to research places and transportation. Megan Wallander understood our needs, offered options and made arrangements that were very easy and efficient for us. We will definitely use her professional service the next time we travel.

Details: Vacation • 2 people • 51 years old or older • Planning excursions • Booking travel • Booking accommodations • Air • Boat / cruise • Train • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • I travel to the travel agent

You can't go wrong here! Meghan is a great European travel agent. She planned our family London, Paris, Rome adventure. The hotels were high quality, boutique establishments, conveniently located near the metros in each city. What a relief to have transportation arranged to and from each airport / rail station. I wish I had Meghan plan our excursions too, but I wasn't ready to dive into that at the time of booking and didn't engage her later - totally my fault. I'm sure she could have helped steer me better than I did on my own. When I found our family at the airport in Paris and our flight to Rome cancelled and rescheduled to the next day while intransit to the airport, Meghan was there to help. I texted Meghan very early in the morning Eastern time and she responded quickly and helped by searching available flights for me (challenging cell coverage in Europe made my searches impossible) while I fought the French inefficacy on the ground. Even my 15 year old son gave her kudos for keeping me calm during the 4+ hour rescheduling fiasco. Once resolved, she notified the local Rome vendors of our unexpected change in plans and help educate me in case Plan B needed to executed (taxi if the driver wasn't there to meet us at midnight). Meghan exceeded all expectations.

Details: Vacation • 1 - 2 weeks • 3 - 5 people • Planning excursions • Booking travel • Booking accommodation • Air • Train • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • I travel to the travel agent

Thank you so much, Denise!! You were a pleasure to work with and I’m so happy everyone enjoyed the trip! Airline issues are an unfortunate side effect of traveling sometimes, but I’m glad we were able to figure it out together!

Megan is absolutely amazing!! We recently booked our honeymoon with her in Italy for this September. She responds to emails lightening fast and has great advice to offer - whether it be which airlines to travel or what hotels would best match what we're looking for. She also helped us find the best prices. I was pretty nervous about booking a long trip like this without knowing anything about the area but I now feel totally comfortable and so excited! Thanks Megan!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I personally do not charge a fee for my services, unless it's flights-only. However, if you're planning a custom trip, I do hold a $100 deposit until we're finished booking.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, we would start the conversation by getting to know one another so I can figure out what exactly it is that you're looking for. Once we have a general idea of where you'd like to go, I begin working on putting together an itinerary for you. From there, we can change out flights, hotels, excursions, etc. until you're 100% satisfied with the trip!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am in the process of getting my Luxury Travel Specialist certification through Travel Leaders. I am also always participating in training put out by different hotel chains, cruise-lines, tour companies, etc.
