During your free trip planning session, we’ll have a relaxed conversation about your travel ideas and goals. Here’s what to expect:

Discuss who’s traveling, dates, and budget

Share your travel style and what matters most

Receive ideas, suggestions, and guidance from me

Learn the next steps for planning your trip

By the end of the call, you’ll have clarity, confidence, and helpful insight — whether or not you move forward with me.

You can schedule your session via email, text, or phone call — whichever works best for you. I’ll make it simple to connect and start planning your perfect trip.

How does malones vacations get paid, and are there any fees for your planning services?

I don’t charge any fees for my planning services — my trip planning is completely free for you.

I earn my income through my host agency, BNT Travel, and the hotels, resorts, or travel suppliers I work with. This means I’m able to provide expert planning, personalized recommendations, and support without any extra cost to you.

In other words, you get all the benefits of professional travel planning, exclusive deals, and insider perks — at no additional charge.

I often plan my own trips. How can working with malones vacations make my trip better, easier, or save me money?

Even if you love planning your own trips, working with Malones Vacations can make your travel experience easier, smarter, and often more affordable.

Here’s how:

1. Access to Exclusive Deals & Perks

Through my connection with BNT Travel, I can see preferred rates, promotions, and added amenities that aren’t always available to the public. That means you could get upgrades, discounts, or special perks that you might miss planning solo — often saving you money or giving you more value for your trip.

2. Time-Saving Expertise

Planning a great trip takes hours of research. I handle the details for you — from flights and hotels to car rentals, excursions, and even dinners on the beach — so you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the planning process.

3. Stress-Free Protection & Backup

I help you add travel insurance and provide support before and during your trip. If a flight changes, a booking needs adjustment, or an emergency happens abroad, I’m your point of contact — so you don’t have to troubleshoot issues on your own.

4. Personalized Guidance

Even if you already know where you want to go, I can offer insider tips and suggestions that make your trip smoother, more enjoyable, and tailored to your style. Sometimes it’s the little details — like which room has the best view, how to maximize your resort perks, or the best times for excursions — that make the biggest difference.

In short: working with Malones Vacations enhances what you already love about planning trips, saves you time, reduces stress, adds protection, and often gives you better rates and perks than you could find on your own.

What kind of trips do you love to help people plan, or what exciting destinations are you passionate about right now?

I love helping people plan all types of trips, from relaxing beach getaways to cultural adventures, city escapes, or domestic trips. I’m passionate about destinations that offer amazing experiences and great value, and while I can help with nearly anywhere in the world, some of my favorites right now include:

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic – My personal favorite for its incredible value, beautiful beaches, and all-inclusive resorts.

Cancun, Mexico – Perfect for sun, sand, and lively resorts.

Thailand – A dream for culture, adventure, and tropical beauty.

Italy – Rich history, food, and unforgettable scenery.

Dallas, USA – Fun city escapes or convenient domestic trips.

No matter the destination, my goal is to make your trip personalized, seamless, and stress-free. It doesn’t matter if it’s a big international getaway or a quick domestic trip — I’m here to help you get the most out of your vacation.
