Why book with me?

Whether you know exactly where you want to stay or need help planning your entire trip, I provide expert guidance, handle important logistics, and serve as your advocate if anything goes wrong.

For many hotels and cruises, I can also unlock exclusive perks you can't access booking direct: complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, resort credits, and VIP treatment.

Expert Knowledge & Insider Access

I specialize in European travel, luxury cruises, upscale resorts, and bucket-list adventures, with firsthand experience in many destinations. For other destinations, I have access to local specialists, insider knowledge, and feedback from other advisors and travelers that you can't find through online booking sites.

Exclusive Perks & Benefits

Through my preferred partnerships (Virtuoso, Hyatt Privé, Marriott STARS & Luminous, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, and others), I can unlock exclusive perks at participating high-end properties:

• Complimentary daily breakfast for two

• Room upgrades (subject to availability)

• Property or resort credits ($100+)

• Spa credits or welcome amenities

• Early check-in and late checkout

• VIP recognition and personalized service

These benefits can add hundreds of dollars of value to your stay, at no additional cost to you. Not sure if benefits are available where you're going? Just ask.

Your Advocate

I handle the hotel, cruise, or tour booking process and serve as your advocate if anything goes wrong. Need to make changes? Issue during your stay? I handle it so you don't have to sit on hold or navigate customer service yourself.

This applies whether you're booking a luxury resort or a boutique hotel. Having someone in your corner makes travel less stressful.

Personalized Service

The more we work together, the better I understand your preferences, making each trip easier to plan than the last. I take the time to learn your travel style, interests, and budget to provide recommendations tailored specifically to you.

How I Can Help

I offer flexible services based on what your trip needs:

• Direct Booking You know exactly what hotel, cruise, or tour you want to book. I handle the reservation, secure exclusive perks when available, and advocate for you if anything goes wrong. Perfect for travelers who love planning but want support and perks.

• Essential Planning This planning tier 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 Complete trip coordination with local specialist partners who design custom itineraries and handle all logistics. Requires a trip budget of at least $450 per person per day. Includes on-the-ground support throughout your trip and access to experiences you can't book yourself: private tours, after-hours museum visits, insider culinary experiences, and more. Perfect for complex multi-city trips, bucket-list adventures, and group travel.
