Today’s post is making us dream of planning a trip! Get to know Julie with Blue Window World Travel!
Champagne: How did you decide to become a Travel Agent?
Blue Window World Travel: I’ve always loved everything about travel, it’s my passion. I love reading the industry periodicals and the Sunday travel section of the newspaper. I love looking at maps! So when I was approached by a local travel agency to join their organization, I jumped at the chance.


Champagne: What are the benefits to booking with a Travel Agent?
Blue Window World Travel: A good Travel Agent will spend time getting to know you and your travel style so that they can suggest locations that will suite you best. Travel Agents have access to special honeymoon amenities, great pricing, and, most importantly, you just can’t book yourself as a VIP like a Travel Agent can!

Champagne: What’s your dream destination?
Blue Window World Travel: My dream destination is Capella Lodge, Lord Howe Island (in the South Pacific off the coast of Australia)

Champagne: What is the key to planning a stress-free honeymoon?
Blue Window World Travel: Delegate the task of researching options on your own, which can quickly zap your energy, to a Travel Agent. And be very honest with them about what your desires are for the trip as far how active you want to be, etc. This will help you narrow your search and get you the best deals.


Champagne: What tips do you have for those planning their vacation or honeymoon?
Blue Window World Travel:
- Start planning the honeymoon 6-9 months in advance to get the best prices and air itinerary
- Buy travel insurance in case your honeymoon plans have to change
- Opt for an all-inclusive resort so that there are no extra charges
- Sign up for my honeymoon registry for excursions, massages or special dinners that can be paid for by your guests.

Champagne: What do you do, when you’re not doing, what you do?
Blue Window World Travel: I hang out with my kids, Cecilia and Henry and I’m currently training for the road bike event Reach the Beach in Portland.

Champagne: Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Blue Window World Travel: I am the only Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultant in Oregon for the Karisma Hotel line in the Riviera Maya region of Mexico (south of Cancun).
I have a price match promise – I will match any online retailer’s (Expedia, Costco, etc.) prices for travel packages and will also beat it by $10 per adult, $5 per child! So bring me your itinerary and let’s get you the lowest price with the best service.
I am a Honeymoon and Destination Wedding Specialist, so you are in excellent hands! If you mention this post, you’ll receive $50 off your travel package!

Champagne: Thank you, Julie [Blue Window World Travel], for telling us more about your company! Make sure to head on over and follow them on twitter, “like” them on Facebook, and browse their website!
