Hello hello!
 
My name is Evangelina Faith, I began my travel advisor journey back in 2021, but I have always been one for adventure and discovering new places. My travels have taken me to so many amazing places, some including road trips around the US, theme parks (Disneyland...WOO!), and my most recent cruise to Alaska/Canada. Travel aside, I have my BA degree in Graphic Design and currently work as an Interior Decorator. Some of my hobbies include photography, cooking, caring for my plants, drawing, and painting.

I'd love to work with you! Contact me today to start planning your next adventure.

"Faith was my agent for my Cancun trip she was incredibly organized. Explained everything very well and made it so easy to understand and got us a great package deal. She was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for your next vacation.."

  • How do I view my trip itinerary?
    We use Travefy, a trusted trip planning software, that allows us to communicate through the app or website. Once we create the trip and share the link, you will be able to see the entire trip details all in one place. The software is user-friendly and can easily be downloaded onto your phone for easy access to your trip information. Travefy also has live updates for flights, so if there are any gate changes or delays, the app will send you a notification or email regarding the change. *Note: I would still recommend using an airline app for delays and changes to your flight. We also trust and use Travefy to securely collect payments and receive any sensitive information like passports or visas (when needed).
  • How much is the trip planning fee?
    The trip planning fee is a one time fee of $125 (domestic and international travel for couples, families, friends etc.). This is our standard package and most common service. This includes research, trip design, booking, and management. Group packages start at $375 for a small group of 12. Solo traveler packages start are $65. Destination weddings start at $675 for a small group of 20. Elopements and/or Honeymoons are a one time fee of $275. All packages are non-refundable once paid and signed.
  • Do I need to sign a contract?
    Yes. All of our clients sign a statement of work contract that is due before we begin planning your trip. We also send the invoice for our trip planning fee at this time. Both are due prior to the research phase.
  • Is my information safe?
    110%! Your information is never stored, and all payments are handled securely and professionally. Any passports, ID's, addresses, bank information, and so-on will be handled with the utmost care and attention.
  • Why should I hire a Travel Advisor?
    As a certified Travel Advisor, I am committed to providing a personalized, hassle-free travel experience to all of my clients. I will take the time to get to know you and your needs, and then work with you to create a customized itinerary that fits your lifestyle, needs, and interests. I am partnered with many brand-name hotels and cruise lines, along with being able to offer exclusive perks and insider knowledge, so you can be sure you’re getting the most out of your travel experience. Plus, I will be available 24/7 if you ever need assistance during your trip.
  • Who is Fora Travel?
    Fora Travel is a modern travel agency with a twist – one that is thoughtfully designed, proactively inclusive, tech-driven and well, cool. We offer better travel experiences and value for travelers. Fora travel advisors work with you to plan your trip and make it extra special with the best pricing and perks, no matter how near or far you go.

  • I already booked my hotel, but I don't know if I got the best value...
    If you already have your trip booked, but would like to check for additional perks and discounts, or if you need someone to manage your trip, then forward your booking confirmation email to evangelina.montesdeoca@fora.travel and I will take it from there.
  • How does a Takeover booking work?
    Takeover bookings work if you, as a client, booked directly with the hotel/cruise line, etc., and the trip must be upcoming. Unfortunately, I am unable to takeover bookings done through any third-party sites, or if the trip dates have already passed. In some cases as a security measure, certain hotels will need confirmation from the client in order to hand the booking to an advisor. This is usually handled through email or in writing, but rest assured that I will be in communication between you and the supplier for the entire process.
  • Why should I choose this option?
    Maybe you booked a trip for yourself and thought, "Am I really getting the best value out of this?" Having an advisor takeover your booking ensures any and all perks and discounts found will be applied to your stay, along with the peace-of-mind that your trip will be cared for by a certified advisor. Maybe you're also thinking about hiring an advisor to plan your next big trip, but don't know if it's right for you. With a Takeover Booking, you'll test the waters, all-the-while building a trustworthy connection with me as your advisor. My goal is for you to feel at ease with having me manage your future travels!
  • How does a Group Booking work?
    At Travel With Faith, I make group bookings easy. I will work with you to customize a travel package that best fits the needs of your group. I'll make sure that all the details are taken care of, from flights and accommodations to activities and entertainment. I offer a variety of payment options, including payment plans and credit card payments, to make sure everyone in your group can join in on the fun! There is a one-time trip planning fee starting at $375 for group bookings.
  • I need help with my Destination Wedding!
    Not to worry! Destination Weddings are a great option for those who want to spice up their special day. These types of trips do require a bit more time and planning, and keep in mind that most resorts abroad will need notice in advance to prepare for this type of event. Once we discuss and finalize all the details, I will send out booking invitations to your RSVP'd guests, where they can look over room, flight, and amenity options. *Elopements and Honeymoons also fall into the Destination Wedding category, but will not be treated as a group trip (resorts usually classify groups of 8-10+ guests). The elopement/honeymoon trip planning fee is $250.
