The snooty advisor I connected with said that she was too busy to help me with my travel planning. Furthermore, none of her colleagues were willing to work with my $15K solo travel budget! I was appalled by the dismissive, rude attitude I received. Will never do business with this company again. I would suggest looking elsewhere for a travel agency unless you are rich.

From there, she put together a wonderful and detailed itinerary with suggested hotels, tourist attractions, etc. From there, I could customize which of her suggestions I wanted to go with or inquire about other places/attractions I heard of or researched prior. She took care of booking most everything and gave detailed directions on where to go and who to talk to. Made our entire trip a breeze and carefree! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a Travel Agent.

I shouldn't have wasted my time and just emailed Jim right from the start. He was immediately responsive. Through a series of emails over the course of a week, he offered a couple of options at different price points. I should mention that I was trying to arrange our trip for peak season and was a bit late for booking travel at that time. Unfortunately, our trip was cancelled due to the pandemic. But Jim came through again, helping us to obtain a refund. Through all our interactions, Jim was helpful, informative and pleasant. Perhaps most impressively, he always responded promptly -- I think always within 24 hours. I highly recommend Amazon Adventures and will contact Jim again when we are able to travel once more.

I went on the first Digital Nomad trip to Costa Rica and absolutely loved it. They provided us with…read moregood accommodations, a 24/7 co-working space (with views of the jungle and ocean), and amazing food (all breakfasts and several group dinners covered). Of course, the company was awesome and I hope to travel with several of my new friends again. Several activities were also part of the trip, including a guided tour through the national park and a hike to some beautiful waterfalls. There was also plenty of optional activities, like kayaking, food tours, and zip-lining. Essentially, you could make the trip as busy or relaxed as you wanted and as your schedule would allow. By the end of my time in Costa Rica, I felt confident to travel out on my own and had some local places where I felt more like a "regular." That was in large part thanks to the Digital Nomad/U30X team for setting us up so well.

I just returned a few weeks ago from the first Digital Nomad Trip, which was in Costa Rica, and…read morewish I could have stayed longer! None of us knew what to expect going into it, but it exceeded my expectations and I had an incredible month with an amazing group of people. I wanted a change of scenery, to experience something new and exciting and meet some awesome people. This is exactly what I got out of this experience, and more. I enjoyed staying in the same location for the month and really getting to know the local places and people. Working during the week there was quite flawless and it was just business as usual. There was wifi all over the hostel and a coworking space open to us everyday. The weekend activities were varied and fun, and it was nice that it was all set up for us. We also did some excursions that we booked on our own during a free day, so you still have a choice of how you spend your time there. The upscale hostel we stayed at was a great place to be during our time in Manuel Antonio and DNT did a good job picking an accommodation in a prime location, which was close to lots of restaurants, supermarkets and the beach. I felt like I was able to really immerse myself in my surroundings as much or as little as I wanted. Before the trip departed, there was always someone readily available by email to help answer any questions or concerns I had, and it did help me feel more prepared for the trip. There are also emails sent out with a packing list and all other necessary info needed to get ready. Overall it was the best month I could have asked for and I can't wait to do another DNT month.

Having referred to Natalie in the past for my clients to use, this past July 4th, I used her for my…read moreown travel. She was extremely helpful in getting us added benefits for booking through her including getting upgraded to the Penthouse, $250/day in resort credit, and a full-time butler at no additional charge. Those upgrades took our experience from great to Life-Altering. I only worry now that I might have just gone on the best trip of my lifetime. To say that I would encourage you to use Natalie and Travel Abundance to plan your next trip would be an understatement! Call her now!

Do NOT sign the contract, unless you want to do the work yourself!…read moreI hired Natalie to organize my wedding in Punta Cana, DR and I chose her over other travel agents because she sells herself very well. Many promises were made during the interview, most delivered with attitude and only after demanding them. Issues: 1. She's very nice and proactive when it comes to charge you for everything in advance, once you submit your payment you will barely hear from her and Natalie acts as she's being bothered every time you contact her. 2. My fiancé's best man emailed and called her way in advance and she never responded. Forcing him to make his own reservations. 3. When I asked her about our website and distributing this to our guests, she told me that I had to send it to all my guests. I then questioned her asking if that wasn't her job since she's the one getting paid for this and she had the nerve to call me "rude" when all I was asking her is to do her job and make money off my guests and myself. 4. On repeated occasions she told me that "I wasn't her only client", and you will receive this treatment from Natalie when you demand her to stick with what she promises. I truly believe being a TA is no longer her passion, you can tell she's no longer good at it. 5. I have had at least 5 families in my wedding party reporting that Natalie was rude to them when they asked questions and she was impatient with them. They had to make their own accommodations because of this without using Natalie, which let me to not have the minimum required number of guests (due to Natalie's incompetence and lack of empathy), the hotel was willing to work with me, after noticing how unhappy I was with Natalie as my travel agent. 6. Even my wedding coordinator noticed Natalie's lack of attention and coordination as her emails are disorganized. She forgets what information she was given and then asks you to find the information for her. Again, I ended up doing majority of her tasks. 7. She will promise an app to be delivered 2 weeks before departure. She breached her own contract and posted this app 2 days before departure with MANY mistakes that I had to point out for her to fix. 8. I tried to break the contract with her on a couple of occasions and after consulting with the hotel in the DR, I was going to punish my guests in order to get rid of Natalie, which in good faith, it's the only reason that prevented me from doing so. 9. I guarantee that you will have to triple check EVERYTHING that Natalie does because in every single task, there were mistakes. Wrong itineraries, wrong names, wrong dates, you name it. The purpose of this review is to avoid more people to go through what I went through. I wish I would have never gone under contract with TravelAbundance or with Natalie, don't make the same mistake I made! Go somewhere else.
