About me: 13 Weeks Travel

Hello beautiful people, welcome to 13 Weeks Travel. I’m Bolupe, the Editor and Founder of 13 Weeks Travel.

About Me: 13 Weeks Travel : Brief Background.

I started my adult life as a project Architect in the construction world. It wasn’t difficult to be identified as the Architect leading the projects, I was young, petite and very disciplined. I love designing, building and creating spaces from scratch and I also enjoyed travelling to different countries to study their architecture. It was the dream job! Then, we had the recession in 2008 and the projects stopped coming in.
My favourite project as an architect was designing a school for the blind, as a result of creating and designing a school, I decided to train as a teacher in the UK and I started working  full time as a primary school teacher in 2010.

I threw myself to the hard-work of nurturing new minds and helping the little ones grow but I needed something else to distract me during the school holidays. So, I began to travel every school holiday which in total is 13 Weeks in the UK hence the name of my brand – 13 Week Travel.

Travelling was my way to switch off completely during the school holidays. When I had my children, I continued to travel with them because I believe in the science behind how holidays make your child happier and smarter.

I have a heart for families

Call me old-school but I love families. I believe in families. I know no man is an island and I truly want to see families succeed. That’s why I’m in the business of nurturing family bonding through travelling.

Travelling with your family can foster independence, self-confidence and interpersonal skills. The more families travel together, the more their curiosity, sense of adventure and ideas grow.

13 Weeks Travels understands the benefits of opening your family to a whole new world of travelling and we are here to help you.

My Mantra

‘Creating new perspectives’

We all see things from the perspectives we are looking at things from.  The purpose of my site is help you see family travel from a different perspective.

Perspective is a tool from which we can see life, situations, problems and people from many different views.

13 Weeks Travel is dedicated to creating experiences that will ignite new perspectives on places travelled to.

13 Weeks Travel will focus on family travel holidays and luxury travel holidays because you all deserve the best!

Why use a travel agent?

Contrary to popular belief, travel agents still exist! I consider myself more than just a travel agent. I am your personal concierge. I help curate and advice clients on their travel plans and help advice them of the best possible value for their money. I will keep track of your trip and inform you of any changes.

What is the difference between online booking engine and me?

The main difference is the personal touch and advanced expertise I offer, Remember, price is what you pay and value is what you get.

With the online booking engines, you are paying a price with no added value while booking with 13 Weeks travel gives you that value.

How?

I create quick personalised evaluations, unexpected offers and deals that I give each of my clients that takes their trips from great to spectacular.

Your holiday takes hours of dedicated research and planning to create a customised trip and see it through from beginning to end. This is the time and energy you don’t have to expend, and be able to utilise the resources of someone who has expertise in this field.

How do I book a family holiday?

The process looks like this:

Step 1: Reach out to me via my booking system, phone, text, email, Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter or the contact page on this website with your travel requests.

Step 2: Within 24 hours, I would respond to your inquiry and request more information (If needed).

Step 3: When you’re ready to book, I would send you an authorisation form to get the necessary information in order to secure the reservation.

What destinations do you specialise in?

I can help you plan and book any type of holiday, however, I would say I specialise in Europe, Africa and Middle East travels.

If you are planning a trip to any of these destinations, I will be able to find exactly what you’re looking for and help you maximise your time and money.
