Why should you book through me?

Travel planning takes time. Between researching options, comparing prices, and figuring out logistics, it's easy to spend hours online without knowing if you're getting the best value or missing something important.

I help by handling hotel, cruise or multi-day tour research and booking, ensuring that the foundational elements of your trip are the best they can be. My services are structured into tiers so you only pay for the level of support that makes sense for your trip, including an option for me to fully coordinate all of the details. The more often we work together, the better I learn your preferences, making each trip even easier to book than the last.

Expert Knowledge & Insider Access

As an affiliate of Fora Travel, I have access to local insider knowledge and feedback from other advisors and travelers that you can’t find through Chat GPT or Google.

Unbeatable Value & Exclusive Perks

Through Fora’s preferred partnerships with hotels and cruise lines, I often can unlock exclusive perks and privileges you can't access on your own. These include complimentary upgrades, daily breakfast, spa credits, VIP welcome amenities, and more. These benefits can add hundreds of dollars of value to a stay.

Personalized Recommendations

For my Essential and Full-Service trip planning clients, I take the time to understand your individual travel style, interests, and budget. With your priorities in mind, I recommend hotels and activities (Essential) or craft custom itineraries (Full-Service) that reflect those priorities, or introduce you to options you didn’t know existed.

Save Time & Reduce Stress

I handle the entire booking process for hotels, cruises or multi-day tours, and if you have questions, I’ll find the answers for you! There’s no need for you to sit on hold with cruise lines or track down contacts at hotels to share special requests or make sure they have your dietary restrictions on file.

Beyond the Ordinary

Full-Service Planning unlocks experiences you can't book yourself: private expert-led tours, after-hours museum visits, insider culinary experiences, and other access that requires local connections and relationships.

Understanding My Services

I offer flexible options to fit your needs, from quick one-night hotel bookings to comprehensive itinerary planning:

  • No-Fee Direct Booking: If you know exactly what you want to book (a specific hotel, cruise or escorted tour), you can use my Direct Booking Quote Request and pay no planning fees. You get the full advantage of my supplier relationships, exclusive perks, and dedicated support for your reservation.

  • Essential Planning: This planning tier also has no planning fee and includes recommending and booking hotels, cruises or escorted tours and recommending activities. You have the benefit of my relationships and support, while you handle the rest of the logistics.

  • Full-Service Planning: A planning fee applies to cover comprehensive research, coordination and booking of nearly all elements of your trip. This means you receive a detailed itinerary where every component, from ferries to local activities, is handled, allowing you to simply pack and embark on the adventure. And if anything comes up while you’re away? An in-country support team is just a text message away to answer questions.
