Today we’d like to introduce you to Chloe Walters.
Hi Chloe, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers?
I have always loved traveling since I was a toddler! My mother worked to put in years of work in customer service with a major airline company, so my 2 siblings and I got accustomed to life on the wings pretty early on.
In my undergrad college years, I started seeing how so many others my age and older had never been out of Arkansas. My passion was to always figure out ways to help others, so I wanted people from all walks of life to be able to experience life outside of their normal environment by travel.
So, I got my start in 2018 with my own travel business, Lush Travel By CW, and made my business official in 2021! Although I am from Arkansas, I provide services all over the country, including the great city of Memphis!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road definitely got bumpy for a minute!
When the pandemic happened in 2020, the travel industry took a major hit. So, as a result, I took a small hiatus while things had slowed down and focused on finishing up my last year of graduate school (I’m also in the mental health profession), and I also had my second child (busy year!).
Fast forward to 2021 – I finished graduate school and picked my business back up under RDE Agency, which is an amazing host agency (I promise, they are the most supportive bunch of ladies)! With travel making its huge comeback, I have been on the up and up ever since, and still going strong! I couldn’t be more blessed!
As you know, we’re big fans of Lush Travel By CW LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I have always been a helpful person ever since I can remember! When I saw how so many people wanted to experience travel, but had no idea how to get started with the planning, or may have been financially unable to do so, or even started planning but things would fall through, I knew I had to do something. So I began Lush Travel By CW to bridge the gap from being unable to DO!
We all know the headaches: “Let’s plan it!” But, when it comes down to it, mums the word when it’s time to get it all together. Or, it leaves one person stressed out to the max because they can’t decide on what activities to do. Or, one person is left when it comes time to foot the bill. This is where I come in. I do all of the planning for you! All I need from you is time to discuss your interests, and I’ll take it from there!
For many people, being able to afford a vacation is a determining factor, so I love to educate my clients on the payment plan option where you can book using a deposit and pay off the remaining balance over time. Like, what?! You can budget and book luxury trips at the same time?! You sure can! I specialize in large group travel, family travel, all-inclusive travel, and cruises! My specializations/certifications continue to expand over time as my business continues to grow, which is super exciting!
I am most proud of the entire planning process because it allows me an opportunity to learn about you and what you like! I love learning about people, so it’s so intriguing to know that I work with so many people that have different personalities and interests, and knowing that the world of travel links us together in a way that exposes them to a new realm of being is ultimately priceless!
Every day, I look forward to connecting with people and helping them with their travel needs – it truly is an experience to see their plans become reality, and knowing that they will have lasting memories is truly a joy!
You can submit the quick (and mobile-friendly) trip inquiry form for me to obtain information about your travel needs. I can also set up a 15-minute phone consultation to go over the process. Then, you’ll receive two quotes for free via email that provides your trip itinerary, travel requirements, cost, deadlines, and booking forms.
What are your plans for the future?
Since I am also in the mental health profession, so I plan to truly expand my expertise in both the world of travel and mental health through wellness travel!
Travel and mental health can turn your life around if you allow it and put the work in! I’m a walking testimony of both being possible! I also plan to do one large group trip every year- each year will be a different theme!
I also plan to travel more with my fiance’ and two kiddos, so there’s so much more to come! Stay tuned!
