Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I work with a travel advisor?
Working with a travel advisor can save you time and stress. We offer expert knowledge, personalized service, and insider access to exclusive deals and amenities. Whether you're looking for the perfect destination or need assistance during your trip, we’re here to make the process seamless and enjoyable.
I like to plan my own trip so why would I work with an advisor?
Great! Plan your trip and then engage me as an advisor as the final step. I'll book your hotels with perks - a win win. Just fill out the complimentary hotel bookings form!
How do I know if you are the right travel advisor for me?
I encourage potential clients to schedule an initial consultation, where we can discuss your travel preferences, budget, and any specific needs. This conversation helps me determine if my expertise and approach align with your travel goals. Travel is personal so I want to make sure that my style is the right fit for you!
After traveling to over 75 countries, I have a lot of first hand experiences to share with clients. Want to do a luxury safari in Africa, visit the Great Pyramids, see Angkor Wat in Cambodia, do an overnight trek in Patagonia, or spend a summer in Europe? Great, I’ve been there and can share my experience so you can decide if it is right for you! And if I haven’t been to a destination yet, it is likely on my bucket list so I have already done extensive research and planning for my inevitable trip there! Plus, I have countless partners around the world that share their insight and local knowledge with me so that I can ensure I am providing the best recommendations to my clients.
With a background as an M&A attorney, I am a highly detail oriented person. I’ll read all the fine print and make sure we don’t miss any of those important details!
How does the planning process work?
Step one: Fill out the inquiry form on this website
Step two: I will schedule a 30 minute Google Meet video call with you to discuss your vision for your trip and explain the planning process in more detail. This call is really important so that we can decide if we are a good fit to work together!
Step three: After we agree to work together, I will start creating a personalized itinerary that includes accommodations, activities, and transportation. Throughout the planning phase, we’ll communicate regularly to refine your trip and answer any questions you may have.
Step four: We will book and finalize your itinerary. About two months before the trip, we will finalize your dining and spa reservations.
Step five: Two weeks before your trip, I will share a link to your itinerary so that you can access it via an app during your travels. We will have a pre-departure call to go over your itinerary and I can share some travel reminders and answer any questions you have!
Step six: Relax and enjoy your trip!
How much does it cost to work with a travel advisor?
My fees vary depending on the complexity of your trip and the services provided. I will discuss all costs during the initial consultation to ensure transparency and align with your budget. My full service travel planning services start at $500 per week of travel for up to four people.
Can you help with last-minute travel plans?
Yes! While I recommend planning ahead for the best options and to secure the best rates on your hotels and flights, I am experienced in handling last-minute requests. I’ll do my best to create a memorable trip for you.
Can you help with group travel?
Absolutely! I can assist with planning events, coordinating logistics, and ensuring that everyone has a fantastic experience. An advisor can be really helpful for group travel to help navigate competing interests and budgets. Please reach out to discuss your group’s specific needs.
Can you book private jets?
Yes
Is there anything an advisor cannot do?
AirBnb and VRBO: I am not able to book clients at Airbnb or VRBO properties. I work with specific partners that offer well-vetted villa and home rentals to ensure clients are safe and taken care of while traveling.
Points: clients can earn and accrue credit card and loyalty points (Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, etc.) but I cannot book your trip using points. I can attach frequent flier numbers to your flight bookings so that you accrue points with airlines.
