I have been helping Bay Area families, couples, and groups travel the world since 1994. I have personally visited the hotels I recommend, sailed on the ships I sell, and navigated the airports you will use.
When you work with me, you are not clicking through a website — you are talking to someone who genuinely loves travel and wants your trip to be unforgettable.
“Sharon planned our JapanJapan trip down to the last detail. Every hotel was perfect, every guide was waiting for us. She saved us weeks of research and thousands of dollars.”
“When our flight got cancelled in Athens, Sharon had us rebooked and our hotel extended before we even finished panicking. That kind of support is priceless.”
“We have used Sharon for three cruises. Every time she finds us the best cabin plus perks — dinner credits, priority boarding, specialty dining. She is magic.”
In most cases, no. World Travel Headquarters is compensated by suppliers not by you. You often pay the same or less, and receive significantly more service and perks.
SFO has the most international routes and is best for Asia and EuropeEurope. OAK is often cheaper for domestic connections. SJC is convenient for South Bay travelers. We always compare all three.
For JapanJapan, Antarctica
Antarctica, or peak-season Europe
Europe, 9-12 months is ideal. For West Coast cruises, 6-9 months gets the best cabin selection. We regularly find great options with 2-3 months lead time too.
It is one of our specialties. We know which resorts, cruise lines, and destinations work beautifully for families spanning multiple generations.
Absolutely. We have planned hundreds of honeymoons, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and family reunions. Our supplier relationships unlock special touches unavailable when booking alone.
