Travel Experience

For Virtuoso Agent Sybil Ford,  travel planning is a matter of the heart.  Every itinerary she creates at the direction of her clients is infused with genuine care and concern for their experience.  With a focus on voluntourism, luxury and soft adventure travel, Sybil enjoys tailoring once-in-a-lifetime dream vacations that linger in the minds of her clients for years.  She draws upon a wealth of personal and professional connections to see to it that anyone for whom she’s reserving travel gets star treatment.  Ms. Ford taps into every resource imaginable to transform her clients’ travel-related dreams from just a thought to a very tangible reality. 

Second only to her clients’ satisfaction is personally experiencing the destinations and properties she recommends to her clients.  Throughout her travels, Sybil has crossed the Serengeti and Masai Mara by hot-air
balloon, gone diving in the Great Barrier Reef, bargained for silk in the streets of Bangkok, barged along the banks of the Seine, hugged the curves of the Amalfi Coast on a Ducati, and has witnessed the rising sun at Angkor Wat.  She has traveled to over 30 countries, 5 continents, and countless cities.  She has sailed aboard vessels listed among Travel & Leisure’s World’s Best and has been a guest at some of the finest hotels and resorts on the planet. 

First-hand knowledge of a country, cruise ship, hotel, or villa allows Sybil to establish credibility with her clients.  She can confidently make recommendations to clients with special needs or requests based on her own observation of a cruise line’s or property’s capabilities.  Having established strong working relationships with property owners and managers, Ms. Ford works to provide each client with a unique experience customized to fit his or her interest, while personal attention from property staff. 

Catering to corporate and leisure clients, she’s arranged travel for honeymooning couples, senior groups, church groups, corporate incentive groups, and solo travelers. 

Sybil holds a Master of Science degree from New York University with a concentration in Hospitality Industry Studies.  She co-authored a scholarly paper published in the Journal of Business Ethics that explored the role of tourism and sports in promoting peace and acceptance of persons with physical and mental challenges.  She has contributed to women’s publications, and provides summaries of her experiences on her websites, http://www.causemetotravel.com and http://www.causemetotravelblog.com. 

Sybil resides outside of New York City, and meets with clients by appointment only where it is most convenient for them – at home, at the office, at the park, at a café, or over the phone.
