Choosing the Right Travel Advisor | Goofy Getaways Podcast — Episode 2.4

Jul 28

The Goofy Getaways Podcast is officially back for Season 2 — and we’re kicking things off with one of the most common questions we hear:

What does a Travel Advisor actually do?

In this episode, Amy Blades and several of our Goofy Getaways Travel Advisors break down the biggest misconceptions about working with a Travel Advisor, how personalized planning is different from generic internet advice, and what travelers should look for when choosing the right advisor for their vacation style.

Whether you’ve worked with a Travel Advisor before or you’ve always assumed it “wasn’t for you,” this episode gives a behind-the-scenes look at how modern travel planning really works — and why it can make your vacation experience smoother, easier, and a whole lot more enjoyable.

In This Episode

Meet the Advisors

Our advisors introduce themselves, share their specialties, and talk about the types of travelers they love helping most.

We also discuss why choosing an advisor with experience in your specific travel style or destination can completely change the planning process.

How to Find the Right Travel Advisor for You

Not every Travel Advisor is the right fit for every traveler — and that’s okay.

In this segment, we discuss:

Questions travelers should ask before choosing an advisor
Why communication style matters
The importance of finding someone who understands your travel goals
Red flags travelers should watch out for during the planning process

We also talk about why specialization matters, especially for travelers looking for support with:

Disney destinations
Cruises
LGBTQ+ travel
Multi-generational vacations
Solo parent travel
Family travel and more

Thanks for listening to the Goofy Getaways Podcast! Until next time, let Goofy Getaways lead you to the magic.

Goofy Getaways

Goofy Getaways began in 2013 as an idea sparked in a college classroom — a simple question turned into something bigger: What if travel planning felt just as special as the trip itself?

What started as a semester-long project quickly became a real agency, built on creativity, care, and a love for helping people experience unforgettable moments together. Over the years, through growth, change, and even a global pause on travel, that original vision has never shifted.

Today, Goofy Getaways is shaped by experience, expertise, and thousands of magical vacations — but at our core, we’re still driven by the same idea: great trips don’t just happen; they’re thoughtfully crafted.
