Common questions

As a Certified Travel Advisor, I do the heavy lifting for you. You tell me your needs; I’ll leverage our community’s expert travel intel and first-name-basis relationships with general managers to maximize your vacation. I’ll match-make you to the perfect hotel for your taste, and ensure you get the very best value for your money.

1. I won’t just save you time and energy, I’ll save you money, too.

2. You’ll get the inside scoop on everything from what makes a hotel special to why you should order that starter every food critic is raving about.

3. I’ll score you awesome perks and upgrades you can’t get anywhere else.

4. I’m your direct line to the hotel’s management team — in other words, you’ll always be treated like the VIP you are.

You let me do all of the planning. All I need are the basics: where you want to go (and for how long), the occasion (or lack thereof!), your budget and what kind of travel you like. I get back to you with hotel (and itinerary, when needed) options based on your preferences and what perks you’ll get with my preferred partners.

Plus, I’ll always have a direct line of contact with the hotel and all partners, so you can rest assured that the nitty-gritty is taken care of.

Anything and everything! From staycations to safaris, I can do it all. Whether it's a one-night staycation in your hometown or a fully planned itinerary to a far-flung destination, I got you!

My dedication to discovering the most luxurious hotels, extraordinary experiences, and hidden gems continually enriches my repertoire. Though I'm open to any adventure, I thrive in curating unforgettable family getaways, enchanting honeymoons, and epic journeys with friends, ensuring memories to cherish for a lifetime!

My varied cultural background has nurtured a flexible worldview within me. While I haven't had the opportunity to visit every country (though that would be remarkable!), I prioritize understanding my clients deeply. By immersing myself in your travel aspirations, preferences, unique circumstances, and budget, I'm well-prepared to help you create tailored travel experiences worldwide.

Of course! The more the merrier! Whether you’re organizing a family reunion, bachelorette party or company-wide retreat, I’m happy to help. Just get in touch with me to begin the process.

As an an independent affiliate of Fora Travel, a Virtuoso agency, we pride ourselves on our relationships with hotels worldwide. Expect perks such as:

Complimentary breakfast
Early check-in / late check-out
Room upgrades
Welcome amenities (think drinks on arrival, a fruit basket, etc.)
Credit to spend at the hotel

I can book most hotels at no extra cost to you – plus you get all those Preferred Partner Perks. Hotels pay advisors for each booking (same as the big booking sites).

For more complicated multi-stop itineraries, I do have a planning fee. This will always be transparently presented.

Planning travel — if you have a lot of time — can be fun. It’s what we do! ‍

You’ll still benefit from using a travel advisor. Tell me the hotels you’re interested in and I’ll book them for you so you get perks such as free breakfast, a room upgrade, early check-in or late check-out, at no extra cost to you. ‍

Plus, I’ll let you know if we have any intel on the property that may not be obvious online (like the fact that the room you requested looks onto a wall). It’s like having a best friend who works in travel, and who can help you plan your dream trip.

Tell me everything. Let me know if you love golf, must have access to a kids’ club or have a soft spot for off-the-beaten-path travel. Serious allergies or dietary restrictions are also very helpful information to share. That way, I’ll only show you options that fit your wants and needs. I also love to hear about your favorite hotels and trips you’ve enjoyed in the past, because that clues us in to your travel style.

You have a choice between two options to suit your needs. You can select a 30-minute session priced at $125 or a 60-minute session priced at $200. Once you've made your decision, we'll embark on a series of questions to fully grasp your travel requirements. With your input, I'll assess your trip details and commence gathering resources and recommendations tailored precisely to you. This ensures that our travel tea session is perfectly aligned with your preferences and aspirations!
