Effortless Travel Begins Long Before Takeoff
What It’s Like to Work with Sarah Eppler Travel
A Thoughtful Process, Designed Around You
From our first call to your homecoming, we turn travel planning into something you actually look forward to. We like to get to know you as a traveler and a person - what you like to do in your spare time, what your kids are learning in school, and whether you're the type who loves a packed itinerary or prefers a more relaxed pace —we dig into the details that make a trip feel truly personal.
Our process blends strategy with industry insight, and structure with flexibility. Over time, we’ll learn your preferences so we’ll practically finish your travel sentences—anticipating what you need before you even have to ask. We strive to make you feel supported, heard, and completely taken care of—so you can spend less time researching and more time anticipating an unforgettable experience.
Here's What's Included:
After completing our inquiry form, we’ll schedule time to get to know each other better (we like video). We'll discuss your travel style, preferences, and what makes you tick, on and off the road. It’s not just about where you’re going, but how you want to feel along the way.
Initial Consultation
step one
If we’re a good fit, we'll follow up with a recap of our conversation and a link to the Client Services Agreement. It outlines how we’ll work together—from the services you can expect to key details like the non-refundable trip design fee and terms and conditions. It ensures we’re aligned from the start so your travel planning experience is smooth, transparent, and tailored to you.
Next Steps & Service Agreement
step two
Now for the fun part—we start designing your custom itinerary based on your needs, goals, and personal travel style. No generic trips here, just your perfect adventure, with thoughtful updates to keep you informed and involved throughout the process.
Custom Itinerary Design
step three
Let’s fine-tune the details—private tours, restaurant picks, and even the ideal hotel pillow. We’ll collaborate to make sure it’s just right, down to the smallest touches that make a big difference.
Refining the Details
step four
Before you leave, we’ll review everything one last time to make sure all logistics are set and answer any lingering questions. You’ll take off confident that every detail is in place.
Final Review & Departure
step five
You’re off to make incredible memories! Feel free to share photos or tag us in your social posts; we love seeing our clients out in the world. Once you’re home, we’ll reconnect to hear what you loved, what exceeded expectations, and how we can refine things for next time. Our goal is to build a long-term partnership that makes every journey even more personalized and unforgettable than the last.
Enjoy Your Trip!

Wedding Anniversary Trip, Italy
Melody
“Sarah was a true joy to work with! We provided the areas we wanted to visit in Italy and some rough ideas on what we wanted to see and do. From that limited info, Sarah was able to create an experience that far exceeded our expectations. Sarah took care of the smallest of details which allowed us to enjoy a stress-free and wonderful vacation. I would highly recommend Sarah as an outstanding partner to help create your special travel experience.”

Grad School Graduation Trip, Barbados
Grace
“Sarah made everything so easy. We had an issue with our room and did not want to make a big fuss - Sarah called the resort on our behalf and we had a new room that night. I will be working with her for all of my future travel.”

Anniversary Trip, Italy, France & Spain
Robert
“Though initially skeptical of using a travel advisor, Sarah's help in planning a two-week European trip changed our mind. Her recommendations for hotels, restaurants, guided tours, and things to do were amazing and personalized just for our preferences and taste. And she was super responsive throughout the trip to help troubleshoot any challenges or last-minute changes. We could not have had such a special anniversary trip without Sarah’s help.”
