Journeys With Jani

By Jani Aylsworth-Gunter, Take Time To Travel

We’ve all been there—scrolling through endless Instagram posts, reading travel blogs, and researching destinations until our heads spin. The world is big, and narrowing down the perfect place for your next adventure can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in! As a Travel Advisor with Take Time To Travel, I take the guesswork out of planning, matching you with destinations that fit your travel style, budget, and dream experiences.

Whether you’re a luxury lover, an adventure seeker, or someone who just wants to sip cocktails on a white-sand beach, here’s how working with a travel advisor makes choosing the right destination effortless.

1. We Get to Know YOU First

Before we even start looking at flights, I take time to understand what makes you tick as a traveler. Are you all about five-star hotels and fine dining, or do you prefer immersive cultural experiences? Do you love non-stop adventure, or is relaxation your top priority?

Through a quick consultation, I learn about your:

✅ Travel preferences (luxury, budget, adventure, relaxation, culture, etc.)

✅ Preferred climate & time of year to travel

✅ Interests (history, food, wildlife, beaches, nightlife, etc.)

✅ Special needs (family-friendly, accessibility, dietary restrictions, etc.)

From there, I recommend destinations that check all your boxes—no more aimless Googling!

2. We Know the Best Times to Go (and When to Avoid Crowds!)

You don’t want to book a dream trip to Greece only to arrive and realize the island is packed with tourists and cruise ship crowds. Timing is everything!

As a travel advisor, I help you navigate:

✨ The best months to visit your ideal destinations

✨ Shoulder seasons when you can enjoy fewer crowds and better pricing

✨ Major events or festivals that could enhance—or complicate—your trip

I use my insider knowledge to steer you away from tourist traps and toward the best experiences.

3. We Find the Right Fit for Your Budget

One of the biggest mistakes DIY travelers make is underestimating the cost of a destination. Some places may look affordable but come with hidden expenses (think: resort fees, expensive food, or pricey excursions). Others might seem out of reach but offer unexpected value.

I’ll help you find destinations that match your budget while maximizing your experience—whether it’s:

✅ Scoring a luxury deal in an emerging hotspot

✅ Finding all-inclusive resorts that truly deliver

✅ Recommending alternative destinations that offer the same magic for less

4. We Save You From “Pinterest vs. Reality” Disasters

We’ve all fallen in love with those perfect, dreamy travel photos—only to arrive and realize the reality isn’t quite the same. Some destinations look great online but don’t live up to the hype, while others have hidden gems most people overlook.

Because I work with trusted travel partners and have real-world experience, I can:

✨ Recommend places that truly meet your expectations

✨ Steer you away from overhyped spots that might disappoint

✨ Connect you with authentic, local experiences that you’d never find on your own

No more vacation regrets—just amazing memories!

5. We Customize Every Detail to Match Your Travel Style

Once we land on the perfect destination, I take it a step further by tailoring your entire trip to your preferences. Whether you want:

✅ A foodie tour through Italy’s best wine regions

✅ A private island escape with full VIP treatment

✅ A thrilling African safari with expert guides

✅ A stress-free family vacation with kid-friendly activities

I handle all the details—from hotels and excursions to transfers and dining recommendations—so all you have to do is pack your bags and enjoy.

Let’s Find Your Perfect Destination!

Choosing the right destination isn’t just about picking a place on the map—it’s about finding a destination that matches who you are as a traveler. With my expertise, connections, and personalized approach, I take the stress out of decision-making and create a seamless, unforgettable journey tailored just for you.
