Let Van Plan!

Custom, curated, personalized!

Hi! I am Van, and I am a travel concierge!

​

What’s a travel concierge?

​

As a travel concierge, I take the time to understand your travel goals and preferences.  Through Van Plan’s, my custom curation process, I want to ensure that you enjoy a hassle-free vacation. My ultimate goal is total peace of mind, so you can forget about the stressful planning and details and just focus on enjoying your vacation. Unlike travel agents, I am not tied to any specific brands so I am able to cast a wider net in making your trip the best it can be. Think of me as your travel personal assistant. I can do as much or as little as you like to fit your needs.

Travel Agent VS Travel Concierge

Travel Agent

  • Salesperson who get commission to push certain hotels and resorts 

  • You pay $0 – they are paid by the resorts, cruise lines and hotels

  • Little support with itinerary planning outside of large tourist attractions that are sellable for commission

  • No restaurant guidance – push for resorts

  • Sells packages and makes more money on the upsell

  • ​Specializes in resorts and brands

What is a Travel Concierge?

How does Van Plans Work?

Step 1: Connect

To ensure a highly personalized experience, you’ll first meet with me, Van, for a complimentary planning session. We’ll dive deep into your passions, goals and preferences, get all your questions answered, and make sure we’re a good fit for your travels.

​

Step 2: Let Van Plan

I’ll use the information provided in our planning session to customize a specially curated itinerary just for you. Agreed upon items will be loaded into your custom Bublup Dashboard, an interactive brainstorming app used for your itinerary planning. Once your itinerary is complete, we will meet again so that I can present your itinerary and if adjustments are needed, we’ll work to refine your itinerary to your exact specifications.

​

Step 3: Experience your specially curated Vancation!

Using your Bublup dashboard as your guide, experience your destination with ease knowing it was all specially curated just for you!
