Real Support
Based in Central Ohio, I help families navigate the complexities of Disney, Universal, worldwide, local, and cruise travel with the same care and expertise I would give to my own family. Whether you're planning a local getaway, or a family adventure, I provide the personalized support you deserve.
Hello! I'm so happy you're here!
If you found me through Instagram @marieharmantravels, welcome! You probably know that I love sharing the real side of travel. The exciting moments, the unexpected adventures, lessons learned, the planning process, and yes, the absolute joy of finding a better deal after a vacation is already booked.
However, if this is our first introduction, my name is Marie, and I am excited to meet you soon! I welcome you to follow along. Reach out! Then we could chat a bit. And maybe you will welcome my help in planning your next travel experience.
I am your travel consultant, based in Ohio, who believes every trip should feel personal. Whether you're planning a work retreat, a concert weekend, a Walt Disney vacation, a sporting event, a Universal getaway, a cruise, an all-inclusive resort, a National Park Adventure, a relaxing beach vacation, or a once-in-a-lifetime National Geographic experience, I am here for you! The planning process should be just as satisfying as the trip itself.
Travel has always been a huge part of my life. As a person who puts family first, I understand that vacations are not about creating perfection. They are about making memories, laughing through the unexpected moments, and spending quality time with the people who matter most. Those are the experiences that stay with folks long after they return home. That is exactly why I became a travel advisor.
When working with clients, I treat every trip as if I were planning it straight from your dream. I want to know what makes your family unique, what you are hoping to experience, and what would make your experience truly unforgettable.
Some families want every detail planned from start to finish. Others simply want someone they can trust when questions come up. I am happy to be either, or both.
One of my favorite parts of this job happens after your trip is booked. I continue watching for new promotions, special offers, and pricing updates that may apply to your reservation(s). If you wish to save money, add extra value, or upgrade your vacation, then I will work to make it happen. There is nothing better than reaching out to a client with good news that their vacation just became even better!
As your consultant, you shall never be treated as just a reservation by me. My goal is to build relationships that last for years. I want to celebrate your first family vacation, help plan anniversary getaways, cheer on your kids' milestone trips, and become someone you feel comfortable reaching out to whenever the travel bug hits.
You may plan seven vacations for next year, but only take one. That is OKAY! I am your toolbox, ready to work on all seven experiences, and more! Thank you for taking a few minutes to get to know me. I know you have many choices when looking for a travel agent. It means so much that you stopped by.
I hope our paths cross soon. Until then, you can always find me sharing travel tips, vacation inspiration, money saving promotions, and a little bit of everyday life over on Instagram at @marieharmantravels.
TALK SOON!
