The person who has
someone in their corner
travels better.

In a world of booking apps and algorithm-curated trips, here's what you're actually giving up when you go it alone.

K
Karen Saunders Pellecer Founder & Travel Advisor, Saunders Travel  ·  Wylie, TX

"The internet made booking travel easy. It also made booking the wrong trip even easier."

Imagine handing all that research to someone who does it every single day, someone who has been to those resorts, has a direct line to the cruise line, and is personally invested in making sure your trip goes exactly as planned. That's what a travel advisor does. And the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one often comes down to whether or not you had one.

Why it matters

7 Ways a Travel Advisor Changes Everything

01

Someone in your corner, always

When your flight gets cancelled at midnight, you're calling your advisor, who knows your itinerary and starts solving the problem before you've finished explaining it.

02

Your time is worth more

The average person spends 10 to 20 hours planning one week of travel. A travel advisor handles all of it in a fraction of the time, because they already know the answers.

03

Personal, not algorithmic

A booking engine doesn't know you need a ground-floor room or that your daughter loves marine biology. Your advisor does and plans every detail around what matters to you.

04

Rates & perks you can't find online

Through established relationships, advisors access exclusive rates, complimentary upgrades, room credits, and amenities simply not available to the general public.

05

Insider knowledge, not star ratings

Your advisor has been there. They know which resort has a noisy pool bar next to the quiet rooms and which "highly rated" excursion isn't worth the money.

06

Group & family travel made easy

Coordinating flights and rooms for multiple families overwhelms most people. An advisor turns a chaotic group chat into a seamless, well-organized experience everyone enjoys.

07

Peace of mind is the ultimate luxury

The greatest thing an advisor gives you is the ability to look forward to your trip instead of worrying about it. That's something you genuinely can't put a price on.

"Travel is one of life's greatest gifts and you deserve to experience it without the stress of figuring out all the details yourself."
Karen Saunders Pellecer, Founder

Real talk

Booking Alone vs. Booking With an Advisor

Booking it yourself

Hours of research, still not sure you got the best deal
Resort looks great in photos but turns out it's under renovation
Flight cancelled and you're on hold for 3 hours trying to rebook
Hidden fees show up at checkout
Something goes wrong abroad and you handle it alone at midnight

Booking with Saunders Travel

One conversation and we handle everything from there
We know those resorts personally with no unpleasant surprises
We're already solving the problem before you hang up
Transparent, all-in pricing with no hidden fine print
24/7 support so you're never handling a crisis alone
The #1 Misconception

"Doesn't using a travel agent cost extra?"

In most cases, our services cost you nothing extra. Travel advisors are compensated through commissions paid by cruise lines, hotels, and tour operators, the same commissions those suppliers would have paid Expedia or any other booking platform.

The difference? When you book through a big platform, that commission disappears into a corporation. When you book through us, you get a real person invested in your trip from start to finish.

"You get the expertise, the advocacy, and the peace of mind at no extra cost to you."

Our planning services are typically complimentary. We're paid by our travel partners, not by you, which means there's no reason not to have a travel advisor in your corner.

Your trip, your way

We handle everything in between.

 

Planning a vacation should be exciting, not exhausting. That’s where I come in. As your personal travel specialist, I take the time to understand exactly what you’re looking for in your destination dreams, your budget, your travel style, and the experiences that matter most to you.

Whether you’re imagining a week on a white-sand beach, exploring ancient ruins in Europe, or soaking up the culture of a city you’ve always wanted to visit, I put together a complete, custom plan just for you. Flights, hotels, transfers, excursions, every piece of your trip is thoughtfully selected and coordinated so that by the time you leave, all you have to do is show up and enjoy.

No endless searching. No second-guessing. No stress. Just a beautifully planned trip that fits your life and memories that will last forever.

Cruises & Escorted Tours

Multiple destinations, one seamless experience, let us find the perfect sailing for you.

There’s nothing quite like waking up in a new destination every morning without ever having to pack your bags. Cruising is one of the most effortless and rewarding ways to travel, and with the right guidance, it can also be one of the most incredible.

With so many cruise lines, itineraries, cabin categories, and departure ports to choose from, navigating it all on your own can quickly become overwhelming. That’s exactly why I’m here. I take the time to match you with the right cruise line for your personality, the right itinerary for your interests, and the right cabin for your budget so your experience on board is everything you hoped for and more.

Whether you’re dreaming of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, the dramatic fjords of Norway, the romance of the Mediterranean, or the adventure of Alaska, I’ll find the perfect sailing for you and take care of every detail from port to port.

  • Cruise line & itinerary matching

  • Cabin category guidance

  • Pre & post cruise hotel stays

Theme Parks & Family Trips

The magic is in the moments we make sure nothing gets in the way of them.

Family trips are some of the most treasured memories you’ll ever make, and they deserve to be planned with care. Whether it’s your child’s first time meeting their favorite character at Disney, a thrill-seeking adventure at Universal Studios, or a fun-filled day at SeaWorld, I’m here to make sure every moment of your family vacation is magical, not stressful.

Theme park trips come with a lot of moving parts: tickets, hotel packages, dining reservations, park hopper options, transportation, and trying to fit it all into a schedule that works for every age in the group. Instead of spending hours trying to figure it all out yourself, let me do it for you. I’ll put together a complete, easy-to-follow plan so you arrive prepared, relaxed, and ready to make memories.

From the moment you leave home to the moment you return, I’m just a call or message away if anything comes up. That’s the difference between booking a trip and having a travel specialist in your corner.

Your honeymoon is one of the most special trips you will ever take and it deserves to be planned with the same love and attention that went into your wedding day.

I specialize in planning romantic escapes that feel effortless and unforgettable. Whether you’re dreaming of a secluded overwater bungalow in the Maldives, a sun-soaked all-inclusive resort in Cancun, a wine-and-cobblestone tour through Italy, or a private villa in the Caribbean I’ll craft every detail of your trip around the two of you.

And it doesn’t stop at honeymoons. Celebrating an anniversary, a bachelorette trip, a babymoon, a proposal, or a vow renewal? I plan all of it with the same heart and dedication. Because every milestone in your love story deserves to be celebrated in a place as special as the moment itself.

Destination Weddings

Your dream wedding in a dream destination we handle the travel so you can focus on the love.

A destination wedding is one of the most breathtaking ways to celebrate the beginning of your forever, and it comes with a level of planning that goes far beyond just the ceremony. Between coordinating guest travel, managing hotel room blocks, arranging airport transfers, and making sure everyone arrives on time and in the right place, the logistics can feel overwhelming fast.

That’s where I come in. As your destination wedding travel specialist, my job is to take all of the travel coordination off your plate so you can focus on what really matters  your wedding day. I work closely with you and your guests to make sure everyone’s travel is seamless, affordable, and stress-free from the moment they book to the moment they arrive.

From the beaches of Puerto Rico and the resorts of Mexico to the all-inclusives of the Dominican Republic and beyond  I’ll help you find the perfect destination that fits your vision, your guest count, and your budget. Your wedding deserves a setting as beautiful as the love you’re celebrating, and I’m here to help you find it.

Travel Insurance – Saunders Travel

Travel With Confidence

At Saunders Travel, we believe every journey deserves protection. That's why we offer Tin Leg travel insurance — award-winning coverage built for real travelers.

You've planned the perfect trip — the flights, the hotels, the experiences. But life is unpredictable. A sudden illness, a missed connection, lost luggage, or an unexpected emergency abroad can turn your dream vacation into a financial nightmare. Travel insurance isn't an extra — it's essential peace of mind.

Why travel insurance matters
The unexpected doesn't wait for a convenient moment
🏥

Medical emergencies abroad

Your domestic health insurance may not cover you overseas. A single hospital visit abroad can cost tens of thousands of dollars without coverage.

✈️

Trip cancellations

Illness, injury, severe weather, job loss — life happens. Tin Leg reimburses 100% of your non-refundable trip costs for covered reasons.

🧳

Lost or delayed baggage

Airlines lose bags every day. Travel insurance helps you replace essentials and recover losses so your trip isn't derailed by missing luggage.

🚁

Emergency evacuation

A medical evacuation can exceed $100,000. Tin Leg's plans include emergency evacuation coverage up to $1,000,000 on select policies.

Real situations where coverage makes all the difference
These aren't rare events — they happen to travelers every day
  • 1A traveler on a cruise suffers a gallbladder attack and requires emergency surgery mid-voyage — a real Tin Leg claim that was fully covered.
  • 2You're hiking abroad and twist your ankle. X-rays, treatment, and medical transport can cost thousands — covered under your Tin Leg plan.
  • 3A family member back home becomes seriously ill the night before your departure. You cancel your trip and recover your prepaid costs.
  • 4Your flight is delayed overnight due to severe weather. Your hotel, meals, and rebooking expenses are covered under travel delay benefits.
  • 5You're on a safari and need helicopter evacuation to the nearest hospital. Evacuation coverage means you focus on recovery, not the bill.
A plan for every type of traveler
Tin Leg offers 9 flexible plans — from budget-friendly to fully comprehensive
Economy
Essential coverage at an affordable price. Great for budget-conscious travelers.
Standard
Higher medical limits and additional cancellation benefits for more peace of mind.

Stay Connected Anywhere in the World Without the Shocking Phone Bill

My go-to eSIM for international travel is affordable, easy to set up, and ready before you even leave home.

Picture this: you land in a brand new country, you’re excited, maybe a little jet-lagged, and the first thing you need to do is pull up your hotel address, call your transfer driver, or let your family know you arrived safely. You reach for your phone and nothing. No signal. No data. And now you’re scrambling to find WiFi in a foreign airport.

It happens more than you’d think. And it’s completely avoidable.

That’s why I recommend Dataroam eSIM to every single one of my clients who travels internationally. An eSIM is a digital SIM card that you set up on your phone before you even leave home, no physical card, no hunting for a local SIM at the airport, no confusing plans in a language you don’t speak. You simply scan a QR code, follow a few easy steps, and you’re connected the moment your plane lands.

Dataroam’s eSIM works across Europe, North America, and destinations worldwide, so whether you’re sipping coffee in Paris, exploring the streets of Cancun, or island-hopping through the Caribbean, you’ll have fast, reliable data in your pocket the entire time.

As someone who plans travel for a living, staying connected isn’t just a convenience; it’s a safety net. It means you can reach me if anything changes, pull up your itinerary on the go, navigate without getting lost, and share every beautiful moment with the people back home. Don’t leave without it.

Getting Set Up Takes Less Than 5 Minutes

What makes it great

*Please note: your device must be unlocked and eSIM compatible to use this service. Most modern smartphones support eSIM. Check your phone settings or contact your carrier if you’re unsure. 

Your trip deserves reliable connection from day one. Order your Dataroam eSIM today and travel with one less thing to worry about.
