Why I Chose Travel By La Buena Vida
When I decided to become a travel advisor, choosing the right agency was one of the most important decisions I had to make.
For years, Lori Swinderman, owner of Travel By La Buena Vida, planned vacations for me, my family, and my friends. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and consistently helped us create vacations that fit our style, budget, and goals. I always appreciated the care, attention to detail, and personal service she provided.
When it came time to begin my own journey as a travel advisor, there was no question where I wanted to be.
Today, I'm proud to be part of the Travel By La Buena Vida team. While you'll work directly with me throughout your vacation planning experience, I'm also backed by an incredible group of experienced travel advisors who are always willing to share their knowledge, collaborate, and support one another.
Travel is constantly changing. New resorts open, cruise lines introduce new ships, and destinations evolve. Being part of a collaborative agency means I have access to a network of experienced advisors, ongoing training, supplier relationships, and firsthand destination knowledge that helps me better serve my clients.
When you book with Trish Travels, you're getting the personalized service of working one-on-one with me, along with the strength and support of an experienced team behind the scenes.
I'm excited to be part of Travel By La Buena Vida, and even more excited to help you plan your next adventure.
