Collaborating with clients on custom travel plans in a way that brings simplicity to the planning process so clients can focus on the fun part - making memories and deepening relationships through travel.
Hello! I’m Sarah, the owner of Connections Luxury Travel, an affiliate of Departure Lounge, a global luxury travel agency. I’d also like to think of myself as your fuel for future travel.
I live in a suburb of Chicago with my husband and three children, who thankfully love travel as much as I do. I’ve always had a passion for travel in all forms. But unlike many people, I actually love the planning process of travel almost as much as the actual travel. I thrive on helping others, which is good news for you. As your travel advisor, I’m here to find ways to simplify your life (or at least travel planning!), remove any barriers to your next adventure, and bring you joy in your travels. My experience and passion become your time saved, and your shortcut to a fantastic trip.
For me, taking a trip and stepping outside of my everyday environment with people I care about affords me the chance to connect with them in a way I have come to value so much.
I cannot wait to help you plan your next adventure so you can do the same.
We’ll send you off to incredible destinations and distinctive properties.
You’ll be set up with one-of-a-kind experiences and VIP perks.
And at the end of your trip, I have a hunch the memories you’ve made with those you are traveling with will be your favorite souvenir.
Value Via Relationships
As an affiliate of Departure Lounge, access is opened to amazing relationships with top global partners and the Virtuoso travel consortium. The Virtuoso network produces more than $29 billion in travel sales annually. That’s buying power that works in your favor.
For the same price or lower than you would have paid directly, Connections Luxury Travel can often reserve a trip for you that includes some special perks, upgrades and/or amenities, accessed through the agency’s Virtuoso membership or its status with the preferred agency programs of the top luxury travel brands (Rosewood Elite, Four Seasons Preferred, Hyatt Prive & Marriott Stars, and many more).
Our knowledge and relationships open doors to true luxury travel experiences and provide access to a nearly unlimited range of options, discounts, amenities, and other benefits that consumers and unaffiliated agencies are not afforded.
Drop us a line. We’d love to hear from you.
You can know exactly what you want - or have no idea where to begin.
No matter where you start, we will make sure you end up on an incredible trip.
