The Travel Advisor Advantage
Travel is one way we broaden our perspectives, deepen our relationships and build new friendships. It is how we grow and become the best version of ourselves. Our team of travel advisors are professionals who share this belief. By bringing together world expertise, travel advocacy, and personal taste-making we understand your “why” for travel. We focus on the details of planning that can consume much of your time and attention: from curating the right itinerary, seamlessly managing logistics, and serving as your advocate throughout your journey.
With today’s unprecedented travel uncertainties we keep asking ourselves where to go, when to go, and what type of experience will we have? Our team understands these concerns and will guide you through the best options, ensuring the peace of mind that comes only from working with experts who know how to reduce the stress associated with planning and influence the quality of the trip. While creating unique itineraries is our specialty, personalizing the trip to your exact specifications is what we most enjoy. Start building a trusted relationship with a VWT Advisor and begin planning a lifetime of memories ahead.
What type of traveler are you?
COVID-19 has us all feeling a little trepidatious about travel. Given the current environment, now more than ever is the time to check in with yourself about what kind of traveler you are in this moment. Whether you’re more comfortable ‘closer to home’, ready to go a bit ‘further afield’, or willing to take a ‘big leap’, our advisors are ready to curate a trip based on your exact preferences and comfort level. With borders opening and closing on a daily basis, why not leave the murky details to someone else?
Closer To Home
We don’t often take the time to discover the unique destinations that are just around the corner. While each of us have various levels of comfort in leaving the safety of our home, a change of scenery can recharge the soul: whether it’s popular sites in our own city, state or region of the country. Together, we will find options that both address your appetite to get away and the responsibility we all share in keeping our communities safe. Small luxury hotels, distinctive homes, and secluded resorts are wonderful options to find something beautiful a short drive away.
Further Afield
Mexico is just one of a handful of countries that has opened back up to US travelers. Whether it’s getting out of your house to the white sand beaches of Punta Mita or booking a wellness journey in the yoga haven of Tulum, let your VWT advisor take the reins if you’re feeling ready dust off your passport. What could be better than getting away to a secluded private villa on the water? Navigating the technicalities of visiting countries that have recently opened, with or without restrictions, is best done with the help of an advisor. Start dreaming of those ‘further afield’ destinations just outside of your comfort zone, that require the knowledge and guidance of an expert.
The Big Leap
Today, more than ever, having an adventure to look forward to has never been more important. However, planning that adventure has never been trickier. Because our advisors share your passion for new adventures, and understand the ever-changing travel landscape through their network of insider resources, now is the time to plan a luxury safari, expedition cruise over the water bungalow or mountain trek. Today’s unprecedented flexibility, fewer crowds and exceptional values all help to put the furthest corners of the world right within reach.
Answer these questions to determine what type of traveler you are today.

Lorenzo Surianello
Destination Specialties: Ocean and River Cruises – Cruising is my passion because it is the best way to see so many places around the world. I never feel out of place on a cruise ship; whether I am with a romantic partner or a friend, I can be the person that I am. I initially chose to get into the cruise industry because I love the ocean, and I find days at sea so peaceful. It is the best of both worlds – exploration and relaxation.
