Sherri’s Story

I learned how to travel for free as a travel writer. It was one of the most valuable and fun classes I have ever taken. She has been quite an inspiration to me through the years and she continues to amaze me with her talents.

Polly’s Story

I’ve personally known several parents and grandparents whose kids’ lives were saved by the service animals she has trained for them, and I have seen several children recover from their ASD diagnosis from the interventions that Carmel guided them through. She was able to help us get a $14,000 grant for our son’s biomedical interventions in Maryland, and now he is no longer diagnosed on the spectrum and pulling straight A’s in school. There are no words to describe our level of gratitude.

Kim’s Story

Carmel is finally someone I can truly be myself with.

Victoria’s Story

My life was already great, but then I took Carmel Mooney’s “Been There Comped That” class and it got even better.

I learned how to get assignments as a travel writer and how to visit places for free with my family in exchange for writing articles about them.

Cache’s Story

Her own experiences have given her a unique perspective of empathy for others.

Jack’s Story:

Over the years, Carmel coached me in my life goal to become a high school history teacher and believed in me and assisted me in overcoming huge challenges with my disabilities.

Robert & Nancy’s Story

We have trusted, and will continue to trust, Carmel’s experience and knowledge to help guide us. We obtained a chocolate lab Ema as a therapy dog for Lily (and the rest of the family). Ema is from a local breeder in our area, who had years before, worked with Carmel training service dogs, and who spoke very highly of Carmel and knew of her commitment to special needs kids and their families.

Tanya’s Story

Carmel Mooney’s support helped us through a difficult time adjusting.

Dan’s Story

I met Carmel around 2005 at various Travel Writing associations and then hosted her and her family on several subsequent press trips to the travel tourism destination that I represented.

She always conducted herself professionally & produced excellent media coverage for our destination so it was a pleasure to invite her back several times over the years.

As time went on, we became friends and she was very instrumental in coaching me through comping my own trip to Ireland which was the adventure of a lifetime.

I even ended up placing a story about it in one of Carmel’s online publications. I highly recommend Carmel’s instruction in comping/Travel Writing. Her focus is professionalism and integrity and I wish more travel writers, bloggers, and vloggers would learn from her.

Michelle’s Story

You’ll be in great hands if you decide to work with her.

Lori’s story:

She is a well-respected source of information and has a passion for teaching others how to do what she loves to do, traveling for free while sharing her love and enthusiasm for writing, story-telling, travel and tourism.

Rose’s Story

I first made Carmel’s acquaintance from taking one of her amazing online courses in 2004 on how to become a travel writer and travel for free/comped.

I immediately put her easy-to-follow instruction into practice and began comping vacations to South Padre Island, Houston, San Antonio, and many other travel destinations for me and my family. I even learned from Carmel how to start my own column where I have comped travel and dining for over 14 years now, thanks to her teaching and coaching.

Eventually, Carmel and I met in person when she came to Texas on a comped travel writing trip with two of her daughters, and we became fast friends which led to me managing her book signings in South Texas and I was thrilled to facilitate her coming to teach a seminar for the Writers League of Texas where she taught dozens of us how to comp travel all over the world.

She is a wonderful mother, writer, coach, and I am honored to be her student and friend.
