Most of the work happens before you leave. That is where a local advisor earns her keep.

What a Los Angeles travel agency should give you.

Booking sites give you inventory. An advisor gives you judgement, access and someone to call. Here is what working with Heather means.

01 One advisor, close to home
Skyring Travel is Heather Hansen, working from South Pasadena. You are not handed to a call centre or a junior planner. The person you meet is the person who designs the trip, books it, and answers when something changes mid-journey.
02 Virtuoso access
As a Virtuoso-affiliated advisor, Heather books more than 2,000 hotels and resorts with benefits the public rate does not carry: room upgrades, early check-in and late check-out when available, daily breakfast for two, and hotel credits.
03 Adventure, planned with intention
Adventure travel, expedition cruising and sustainable travel, with a focus on Asia: Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia. Heather plans for a small number of travellers at a time, built around how you actually like to travel.
04 Travel that gives something back
Every property and operator is chosen for how it treats the place it sits in and the people who work there. The considered trip is usually the better one, and it is the only kind Heather plans.

Part of the community she serves.

Heather lives and works in South Pasadena and is a member of the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. She works with travellers across Los Angeles, from Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley to the Westside.
