We recently connected with BRUNHILDA EYA and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, BRUNHILDA thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
As a young girl I have always been very fascinated with traveling the world and I am blessed that I am currently making that dream come true. Traveling is always an adventure, a learning experience, and it is an opportunity to make lots of memories. Like Bill Perkins said in his book Die With Zero “Memories are what will accompany us through our lives on earth especially as we get older, and it is valuable to make these memories while we can”.
I have been blessed to be able to travel and experience different parts of the world. My goal every year by God’s grace is to visit a country in two different continents and of course make some time to explore different States in the United States.
As an avid traveler, planning a trip is very time consuming and requires lots of hours to research the country you are visiting, the security, the location, the food and most importantly developing an itinerary. WI want to make sure we have a great time and enjoy our vacation and for this to be possible, we have to have a plan in place so we can make good use of our time.
I always plan my own vacation, including trips with family and/or friends so I have expertise in this domain, and I understand how time consuming this can be. I believe most folks don’t travel as often as they can because they are unable to take time aside to plan their trips and complete both hotel and flight reservations and it is also very expensive to hire a professional travel agent and consultant to assist with this task and this is where I come in.
BRUNHILDA, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
In January 2011, I moved to the United States from Cameroon and enrolled at the University of Maryland University College with a major in Cyber Security and a minor in Homeland Security. Three years later I earned my Bachelor of Science degree and two years after, I earned my Master of Science in Cyber Security.
I always plan my own vacation, including trips with family and/or friends so I have expertise in this domain, and I understand how time consuming this can be. I believe most folks don’t travel as often as they can because they are unable to take time aside to plan their trips and complete both hotel and flight reservations and it is also very expensive to hire a professional travel agent and consultant to assist with this task and this is where I come in.
I am here to offer the following services at very reasonable prices to get you on your next trip around the world.
Consulting Services:
This includes having an in-depth conversation with the client to better understand their interests, hobbies and of course your budget. This will give me a chance to provide advice and recommendations on places to visit, what to do, and then, if possible, transition to completing your reservation.
Flight And Hotel Reservation:
Once we have had our initial conversation and all decisions have been made in regard to your trip. The next step will be to complete the flight and hotel reservation. I will complete my research on the mode of transportation needed to safely arrive at your destination and also ensure that I complete research on where to stay. Hotel location is very important, and we need to ensure you are in a safe and clean environment.
Itinerary Development:
Here comes the most difficult and time consuming part of your whole trip. Now that we have completed the flight and hotel reservation, what will you do once you arrive at your destination? This service includes completing intensive research on your destination and developing a very detailed itinerary tailored to each client based on our past conversations and understanding of your hobbies. The itinerary will include but not limited to things to do, places to visit, where and what to eat, popular touristic locations, links to purchase tickets when necessary, and location closing hours,
Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?
I used my savings to fund my business and since then I have been able to run my business with the profits I have made so far.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Networking and advertisement are some of the most effective strategy for growing my clientele.
I attend several networking events and church events to promote and talk about my business. Also, I always have my business cards with me and ensure that I distribute them wherever I go.
I have them at my gym, my local grocery store and I also opened an IG account so I can advertise my business, my trips so as to get more clients.
