FAQs

Q: Do you charge extra fees for using your travel planning services?

A: One of the biggest misconceptions about working with a travel expert is that it costs more. At Finding Joy Travel, most of our compensation is built into the price of your trip—whether you book it yourself or through us. If a specialty itinerary requires a planning fee, we’ll clearly communicate and agree on it before we begin.

Q: What kinds of trips do you specialize in?

A: From multigenerational family vacations and milestone celebrations to solo escapes and culturally immersive journeys, we tailor every trip to your unique story. If you can dream it, we can help you get there.

Q: Can you help with international travel and complex itineraries?

A: Absolutely! With nearly a decade of experience and strong global connections, we excel at managing the logistics of international trips, including multi-destination routes, cultural excursions, and special access experiences.

Q: Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online?

A: Online platforms offer options—we offer insight. With expert guidance, stress-free planning, and curated recommendations, we save you time while creating a more enriching and personalized experience. Plus, you have real support before, during, and after your trip.

Q: What makes Finding Joy Travel different?

A: We go beyond ticking boxes—we help you create core memories. Our approach blends careful planning, emotional connection, and genuine care to ensure every journey is meaningful, joyful, and completely your own.
