This is what I have been up to since leaving Wall Street in 2020 after 20 years: I founded a modern travel agency in 2018 because, like you, I had limited vacation days and even less time to plan a trip.
I didn't have an advocate in my corner if I ran into a Jam…would have helped when I was mugged at gunpoint in Latvia.
My choices were not vetted which was anxiety-producing - Would be even worse now…thanks Covid!
Even though I had “the best” travel credit cards and about a billion frequent flier miles … I still never got upgrades, perks, or service worth writing home about when I traveled.
So for all these reasons I founded The Opulent Explorer to bring exceptional service back to travel and to get you the kinds of amenities the loyalty programs promise (but fail to deliver). If any of this hits home we should connect!
With a course plotted to bring service back from sites like Priceline, sorry William Shatner, it was time to get educated. First step was a 1-year, step-by-step training and mentoring program to fast track my travel agent career. Thank you Gifted Travel Network! Then in 2020 it was time to go full time and leave Equity Derivatives & Risk Arbitrage behind.
On the desk we would always say, “I got a guy for that!” Well, now you have a guy for luxury travel who sat in your seat and has passport stamps from 60 countries. A well-connected luxury travel expert eager to save you time, money, aggravation and be your one contact point and advocate throughout!
