Hi! I'm Valerie Szymanski
LUXURY TRAVEL PLANNING EXPERT
At Val’s Travel, we know your time is valuable and you want a vacation that is thoughtfully planned out, on budget, 100% organized, and will give you the rest and relaxation you need.
To have that, you need a knowledgeable professional to take that precious time and turn stressful planning into an enjoyable experience.
The problem is that while you love taking vacations and exploring the world, you do not have the planning skills, experience, or travel industry connections to make it easy.
With so many options to choose from, planning your next escape can be extremely overwhelming. It's not your fault. The internet and its infinite amount of information are to blame.
You should have great expectations and excitement with the thought of your next escape, not uncertainty.
I work with travelers every day that feel just like you do and at Val’s Travel, I turn trepidation into anticipation. I understand what it feels like to earn those vacations and then panic and feel turned off at the planning.
Here's how you can get started today:
Jump on a quick 15-minute call to say hello
Schedule your 30-60 minute planning meeting with me
I will research and design your personalized itinerary
I will book, confirm and prepare the travel documents for your trip so you have peace of mind
I have three decades of travel experience. I have sent many travelers on vacations that changed their lives.
Val’s travel takes the time to pay attention to the details, so you don’t have to. I do the planning, while you start packing.

WHY USE A TRAVEL ADVISOR
When you DIY anything in life, you take on risks. Sometimes it's a calculated risk because the consequences (if anything goes wrong) are minimal.
Other things, the risk is too high - medical procedures, home renovations, educating your children, and even cutting your own hair.
Planning travel, especially out of the country, is something that should also be left to qualified and professional experts.
ACTIVE TRAVEL
Walk, hike, bike, or kayak around the world with customized itineraries tailored just for you.
FOOD & WINE
Try new foods, sample excellent wines or craft cocktails, and take cooking classes in unique locations.
Luxury ocean, river, and expedition cruising across the globe.
3 STEPS TO YOUR NEXT VACATION
I will have a phone or video planning meeting to learn more about what you want from your next adventure.
I will design a perfectly customized itinerary to match your travel style and goals.
I'll book, confirm and prepare the travel documents for your trip while you pack.
Even though I have traveled to over 90 countries, I will still use a travel advisor for 100% of my planning. That perfectly planned trip by an expert is a no-brainer!

Testimonial
"We spent quite a bit of time with Valerie planning our trip to Asia, and, as we are seasoned travelers, we had strong opinions as to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to stay. Valerie's suggestions regarding hotels were superb for all of the places we stayed. Moreover, she was able to get us terrific upgrades in nearly every hotel. In my experience and estimation, her knowledge of places, accommodations, and the desires of clients is truly exceptional." — Lisa K.

Two well-known family travel agencies come under one umbrella, driven by private equity backing to grow. Expect more such deals to happen in the coming months.
Valerie Wilson Travel , one of the iconic family-owned luxury travel agencies, has been acquired by the much larger travel management company Frosch , which is also family-owned but recently got minority investment from private equity investment from PE firm EagleTree Capital.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Frosch had with $2.4 billion in 2019 sales, while Valerie Wilson Travel had $325 million in sales, according to annual Travel Weekly Power List .
NYC-based Valerie Wilson Travel will continue to operate independently under its current brand, headed by founder and CEO Valerie Ann Wilson, who founded the agency in 1981. With this deal, Frosch continues on its acquisition streak, and even during the pandemic since last year it has acquired CorpTrav and Luxe Travel and took a majority stake in Plaza Travel.
The two agencies are part of different consortia and plan to continue with the arrangement: VWT with Virtuoso, and Frosch with Signature Travel Network.

Frosch International Travel (Frosch) has acquired Valerie Wilson Travel (VWT) on Friday, April 30, 2021, the companies announced this week. The acquisition brings together two of travel's most respected families, the Wilson family and the Leibman family, and will reshape the landscape of full-service travel management companies and the travel industry, according to the press announcement.
Valerie Wilson Travel is about 50/50 leisure and corporate travel, a ratio they maintain on purpose.

No matter the purpose or need for travel, VWT will provide the expertise and professionalism to optimize every luxury travel experience. Proud Virtuoso member.
