Your Personal Travel Experience Curator

Heavenly Sunset - Puerto Adventuras

My name is Val Burnett and I specialize in customizing unique leisure vacations for couples, families and groups to destinations worldwide including Mexico, Caribbean, Europe, Central & South America, and Asia, from my home-office in Central Alberta, Canada. 

When it comes to planning the perfect vacation, there are so many things to consider including finding the perfect destination, your travel interests and goals, the experience you want and a big part, your budget.  If you are like most people, the thought of trying to figure that all out on your own can give you a major headache as the research can take you down a google rabbit hole where you find you are spinning your wheels for days on end!

That is where I come in, as your personal travel curator! Not only will a travel agent eliminate the hassle of having to plan the logistics and accommodation of your trip, but an experienced travel agent can also provide a seamless experience with immense value through our established business relationships with hotels, airlines, cruise lines, tour companies and more. A personal travel curator can save you time and money, help you avoid spinning your wheels and truly show you how to experience the destination. 

My specialties include All-Inclusive vacations, group travel, romance travel, destination weddings and guided tours to destinations all over the world.

I believe continued education is a big part of ensuring my knowledge and skills as a travel adviser and I continue to develop this to provide the best experience possible for my clients. I regularly attend supplier events, destination tourism board events, webinars and seek out to experience new destinations and properties to have a more in depth knowledge.

I am a Certified Leisure Travel Specialist through a two year study program,  where I gained knowledge and experience in sales, customer service, ocean & river cruise sales, destination, supplier and lifestyle.

I want your vacation to inspire you, deepen your appreciation for the world, and most importantly—be fun and effortless. 

From dreams to destination, I will provide peace of mind wherever you travel!

Amazing Adventure
Val’s thorough research, attention to detail, effective communication and overall professionalism allowed me to thoroughly enjoy my travels without any problems. She was constantly in touch, outlining options, during the planning process. The online itinerary also proved useful throughout, including when flight times changed.
