For people who find vacations to be stressful affairs, The Time Fairy is the solution they have been wishing for. With an eye for detail and a passion for making her clients happy, Flor Kapitzky sends her clients off on once-in-a-lifetime trips that will make you reconsider that trip to the Grand Canyon. 

“I never have a dull day,” Flor says. “How could I? One day, I am booking private safaris in Kenya, and the next, I am reserving reservations at an ultra-exclusive restaurant in London. My job is exciting! And in the process, I’m helping people go on their dream trips.”

Flor has developed a reputation for being the best at what she does because she takes the time to get to know her clients. “I really get to know them,” she says. “With the questions I ask, I understand their personalities, preferences, and dreams. I find out so much about them so that I really can plan the trip for them. All they have to do is show up at the airport. I’ve got it all taken care of.” 

Before Flor became a highly sought-after trip planner, she worked at the Ministry Public Federal in Brazil after she graduated from law school. “It wasn’t my passion, though,” she says, remembering. “I wanted to do something more creative, so I then became a very successful owner of a jewelry company called Kapitzky. I enjoyed this, but I sold it to an investor so that I wouldn’t compete with their business. I was still drawn to the creative side of life, so I  went to Hollywood, where I was in a movie. I am now a model. Oh, and I am studying real estate. I am interested in everything and am very ambitious!” she says, laughing a little. “Everything about the world fascinates me.”

Flor’s passion, however, is people, and she ultimately turned to the luxury travel industry because it seemed like the perfect chance to use her career to make people happy. “That’s really what I do,” she says. “I pour all of my energy into creating trips that will give my clients a lifetime of memories. All they have to do is call me, and I take care of everything.”

Each trip is customized to the clients’ personalities, desires, and interests. “The first thing I do is choose a destination for them,” she says. “This is actually a blast to do. They’re often surprised at how well I can judge where they want to go. They think I’m a magician!”

Flor then really gets to work. She meticulously plans out itineraries, focusing on all the little details that make good trips sensational. “I’m the one you rely on to get those tickets to a concert that no one else can find,” she says. “If you want a private house on a beach in Tahiti, I can reserve that, too. I use the connections I’ve got around the world to create a trip no other luxury concierge can provide.”

The itineraries are flexible, however. One reason Flor receives rave reviews is because of how open she is to changing a schedule. “If you wake up one morning and suddenly don’t feel like touring New York City’s museums and instead want to do something completely different, I’ll set it up for you,” Flor says. “You always have the freedom to change your mind when the mood suits you.” At the end of the trip, when her clients return, Flor loves to hear about the wonderful time they had.

Flor has attained a high level of success with The Time Fairy, and she likes to use it to give back to others. “I love supporting two children in Africa through Child Fund,” she says. “It reminds me that no matter how far I get in my career, it’s important to use it to help those who need it.”

She also likes to support other entrepreneurs who are just starting out. “I know from my own life that the road new business owners are on is not easy. I tell them what I told myself so often in the beginning: never give up on your dreams. The Time Fairy may be successful now, but it was a little rough in the beginning just like it is with any new company. I kept at it, I did not give up, and I am now a premier luxury concierge.”

That dedication to developing her company means that Flor’s clients can expect nothing less than the best from her. “There is nothing I won’t do for my client,” she says. “They know when they go on a trip I arranged for them that it will go off without a hitch and that it will be the best one they’ve ever taken.”
