The Uncertified Travel Planner: My Story & What The Hell I Am Doing Here

 

 

I'm Paula your travel planning concierge.

 

It's important that you know 3 things about me:

 

1. I like to help. Specifically, I like to help people using my own strengths (because that's the kind of help that I can do best and the kind of help I want to do - #selfish, I know).

 

2. I'm happiest creating. This translates to planning, DIYing, helping nurture my children into exceptional citizens.

 

3. I like to share...certain things. You'll learn more about me and my crazy crew via a podcast I'm coming BACK with in a little while.

 

Being a mother to 3 blooming kids has taught me a lot. And made me tired. As hell.

 

What gets me through the fatigue even with full-timing and wifing (being a wife) on the menu is carving out time to do what makes me happy (see above).

 

I am not a certified travel agent. Okay? Okay.

 

I am a certifiable 'get to the savings, fun, and glory of a trip you've been needing desperately all year' finder.

 

That's what I'm doing here.

 

Let's get more real, okay? Okay.

 

I became a mother in my late teens, married a man with his own child in my mid-twenties, then proceeded to have another damn baby. I budget down to the last cent, perform DIY manis and eyebrow maintenance, and don't think twice about a designer...anything because making sure my family travels each and every year (sometimes several times) is a passion and priority to me.

 

Know that I know your struggle.

 

Busy, bills, babies. I got you.

 

Know that this is my jam. My extended family likes to see what I have up my travel sleeve whether it's just for my little crew or everyone else each year.

 

So, no certification for this, just good instinct and research skills and a love affair with spreadsheets and reports. I will spreadsheet the shit out of your itinerary!

 

I'm worth the $24.99 I charge for itinerary-building. Every cent.

 

The first draft of your itinerary will be ready 24 hours after receipt of payment once you fill out this survey that gives me deeper insight into what and where I can help you.
