Your vacation should feel like something to look forward to, not another project on your to-do list. I take the time to understand what you want from your trip and use that to guide the planning from there.
From the first conversation to the moment you head home, I’m here to help make the details feel simple. I’ll help you find the cruise or resort that fits how you actually want to travel, coordinate the important pieces, and make sure you know what to expect along the way.
You’re not left sorting through endless choices, second-guessing what you booked, or trying to keep track of every little detail on your own. Instead, you can focus on the things that matter—relaxing by the pool, exploring a new port, enjoying dinner with your family, or simply being on vacation.
Too many options, with no clear sense of what truly fits
Comparing ships, resorts, cabins, and reviews until every choice feels uncertain
Trying to coordinate the details while keeping everyone’s preferences in mind
Wondering what you may have overlooked along the way
Spending more time planning the trip than enjoying the anticipation of it
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
We’ll begin with a 30-minute video consultation so we can get to know each other and talk about what you’re envisioning for your trip. We’ll discuss your travel style, priorities, wants, and needs, along with what you’re hoping to get out of the experience. This gives me a better understanding of what the right vacation looks like for you and allows us to talk through how I can support you before, during, and after your trip.
Most importantly, this conversation gives both of us a chance to decide if we’re the right fit to work together.
Once we decide to move forward, I’ll send over a service agreement and planning fee outlining what you can expect from working with me as your travel advisor.
The non-refundable planning fee applies to all-inclusive vacations, custom itineraries, and some cruise vacations. It is based on the number of travelers and the complexity of your trip, allowing me to dedicate the time, research, and attention needed to create a thoughtful recommendation and provide a high level of service from the start.
This is where the planning really comes together. I take everything we discussed and pair it with my industry knowledge, supplier relationships, and firsthand travel experience to narrow down the choices that make the most sense for you.
As I’m researching and building your trip, I may come back to you with questions or recommendations. That conversation helps me fine-tune the details and make sure we’re heading in the right direction.
Rather than sending you a long list of possibilities to sort through, I’ll present you with a thoughtfully researched recommendation based on what we discussed. I call this the first and best!
You’ll have the opportunity to review everything, ask questions, and share your thoughts. From there, we can make any adjustments needed until the trip feels like the right fit for you and your investment.
Once you’re ready to move forward, I’ll take care of the bookings and logistics, keeping everything organized along the way. I’ll also send over any forms needed to securely collect payment information and reserve your travel plans.
Travel insurance options will be provided to help protect your investment, and air arrangements are also available for an additional fee when needed.
Your support doesn’t end when your trip is booked. I’m here to answer questions and help you feel prepared in the weeks leading up to departure.
Before you leave, you’ll receive your final travel documents and itinerary, with time to review everything and make sure you feel confident about what’s ahead.
Once you’re traveling, I’m here if questions or unexpected issues come up. When something is best handled directly by the cruise line, resort, or local provider, I’ll point you in the right direction so you know who to contact. You’ll never be left wondering what to do next.
Once you’re home, I’ll send a short survey to hear about your experience.
Your feedback means a lot to me. I want to know what you loved, what made your trip special, and where there may be room for me to improve. It helps me continue to learn, grow, and make the experience even better for the travelers I work with.
