Tim Flatz: Crafting Unforgettable Journeys with Heart and Expertise
From the disciplined decks of the Marine Corps to the enchanting sequences of global destinations, Tim Flatz's journey into the heart of the travel industry is anything but ordinary. His tenure in the Marines not only instilled in him a meticulous attention to detail but also ignited a passion for exploring the globe—a passion he believes should be a shared experience. This realization came to life on a family Disney cruise, where the joy of group travel sparked the birth of Discovery Travel.
A Passion Forged in Adventure
For Tim, travel isn't just about seeing new places; it's about the transformative experiences that await. His approach is deeply personal—listening intently to clients’ dreams and desires, drawing from his rich tapestry of travel experiences to tailor trips that transcend their expectations. With a focus on all-inclusive resorts, cruises, and especially group travel from destination weddings to family reunions, Tim prides himself on delivering joy and creating lasting memories.
Elevating Experiences
Guided by a relentless pursuit of excellence, Tim constantly seeks ways to elevate his clients’ travel experiences. His recent venture into premium and luxury travel realms reflects a commitment to not just meet but exceed the aspirations of those yearning for a touch of opulence and exclusivity in their adventures. Tim's transition from transactional bookings to cultivating enduring client relationships underscores his journey towards delivering unparalleled personalized experiences.
Service With a Personal Touch
At the core of Tim's customer service philosophy is a genuine desire to build rapport and loyalty. He envisions a world where Discovery Travel becomes synonymous with unforgettable, personally crafted travel experiences. By recommending journeys that align closely with, and occasionally extend beyond, a client's budget, he ensures an unmatched experience that perfectly aligns with their dreams.
A Specialization in Luxury
While maintaining his expertise in all-inclusive and cruise vacations, Tim is guiding his clientele towards the serene waters of luxury travel. His knack for understanding and fulfilling clients’ wants and needs, sharpened by listening closely during intake calls, enables him to recommend the perfect upscale experience.
A Believer in Broadened Horizons
Tim holds a profound belief in travel as a catalyst for personal growth. To him, the essence of Discovery Travel is not just about where you go but about the expanded perspectives and sense of completeness that come with each journey. "The more of the world that you see," Tim says, "the more it opens your mind and makes you feel a little more whole."

A US Army Veteran of 6 years, mother of 4, and reside in wonderful rural Starke County Indiana.
Travel has become my passion. As a dedicated travel specialist, Im constantly training and combing destinations to learn the best places to serve my clients needs. I specialize in domestic vacations and trips, rail, river cruising, Europe and FAMILY FUN! But I can certainly plan any adventure to any destination you choose from Dublin to Vegas.
In my military career I was stationed in Babenhausen Germany and traveled many destinations as possible in my 2 year tour there. If you have not seen real life castles you MUST take a Rhine River cruise, tour some top European destinations. Venture to Christmas markets or take part in an Octoberfest celebration! I look forward to speaking with you on any travels you may need!
