We highly recommend working with Abby on your next vacation! She planned our honeymoon to Costa Rica in October 2021. Abby helped us narrow down our options by listening to what type of vacation we were looking for and provided us with available resorts that met our budget. She went above and beyond and created a curated trip just for us! Each day’s activities were provided on her user-friendly app, including our required travel documents. Working with her made the trip so worry-free! We have recommended Abby Away Travel to many friends and family, including my sister and brother-in-law, who used her services to plan their honeymoon to Greece.
Preeya & Mike- Costa Rica Honeymoon
Abby made our honeymoon to Santorini, Greece seamless! Every aspect of the trip was a breeze, and we were able to just enjoy our time together. Abby took over the normally time consuming part of trip planning so we could focus on our wedding. We trusted her recommendations to make our honeymoon perfect. Her hotel recommendation was incredible, the definition of luxury! All of the restaurant recommendations were amazing, and the excursions were so much fun and exactly what we were looking for. The comprehensive itinerary that she put together included everything from departure to the return home. The usual annoyances of a trip like airport transfers were fully taken care of for us. She was very knowledgeable about COVID requirements and made sure that we had everything we needed to easily return home. If you decide to use Abby for your next vacation, you’re guaranteed a luxurious and worry-free vacation. We can’t wait to use her for our next trip and have already recommended her to our family and friends!
Ellie & Chris- Greece Honeymoon
Abby recently planned a wonderful 2 week trip to Italy for my husband and me. This was our first time traveling to Europe so her guidance was exactly what we needed. We did not have to worry about all of the time consuming research it takes to plan such a big trip. Abby covered everything from transfers, train tickets, hotels, dinner reservations, and tours (all of which were great!). Abby’s communication was great throughout the entire planning process, and she even checked in with us during our travel days when she saw we had flight delays and cancellations. We were truly able to enjoy our trip and each other without having to worry about a thing. If you are considering working with a travel agent, we certainly recommend Abby. We will definitely work with her again in the future!

Review our FAQs
How does your process work?
First, I email an inquiry form, so I can get more details from you and have a better idea of your travel goals/needs. From there, if we are a good fit, we will chat more about my services and my planning fee. Once I receive my planning fee and travel contract from you, then it’s time to get started planning your trip!
Are there types of vacations or things you won’t do?
While I look out for my clients' best interests, if you are set on booking an Airbnb type of accommodation or VRBO, I am not the best fit for you. I cannot vet these properties, and they do not work with travel advisors.
Budget vacations or finding a “deal” is simply not what I do or am about. I curate luxury experiences and am not in the “deal finding” business. While I look out for my clients best interests and compare pricing to get the best value on their vacation, if you are only looking for a deal, then I’m 100% not for you.
What can a travel advisor do for me that I can’t do myself online?
SO MANY REASONS! My services are custom, personalized, and come without the stress and time you will spend fretting over what to book online. Which means you are working with a human being who not only cares about the quality of your vacation, but understands your travel goals/needs. Your vacation will have those personal touches and special elements that booking something online won’t provide you. I guide you every step of the way. You don’t need to worry about dinner reservations or finding excursions, etc. I will take care of all those details. I vet my properties, so you never have to wonder if the online pictures and reviews are legit. I also have access to resources and connections through my travel network, who are there to assist me with making your vacation that much better.
What all can you book for me?
Everything! Flights, hotels, train tickets, excursions, dinner reservations, transfers--you name it. I will say the only exception sometimes to this is flights and that depends on the route we go with booking. Many clients do book their own flights. If that’s the case, I will do all the research on flight options and make it as easy as possible.
still have questions?
Are there additional charges besides the planning fee?
Besides booking the components of your trip, ABSOLUTELY NOT. My upfront planning fee covers my services, and I charge nothing additional. I think there is a common misconception that travel advisors upcharge and tack on additional fees to vacation packages, but this is not the case. I always look for the best value I can find when it comes to the price of your vacation. I’m in no way trying to sneak in extra fees.
