travel planning
questions

Sooner is always better. Early planning allows for better availability and pricing. For multi-destination trips, I recommend starting the process 9 to 12 months in advance, if possible. If your window is shorter, don't worry. Reach out anyway and we can talk through the options. Rush fees may apply for last-minute bookings.

We always start with an initial call where I learn more about you, your travel style, and what you want this trip to feel like. From there, I design a personalized travel plan based on your priorities, timing, and preferences, supported by insight from trusted in-destination partners.

Once I’ve shared your proposed itinerary, we’ll refine it together until it feels just right. I’ll then handle the bookings, coordination, and details, and prepare everything you need before departure, including a personalized digital itinerary with confirmations, recommendations, and helpful travel guidance.

Throughout the process, you’ll hear directly from me with clear and timely communication, so you can feel confident and excited as your trip comes together.

Planning a trip that’s truly bespoke takes time, care, and expertise. The planning fee reflects the high level of service and unbiased recommendations I provide at every stage of the process. It also allows me to give each client the attention they deserve and deliver a trip that feels fully aligned with your individual travel goals.

The best way to find out is to connect and talk it through!

I work best with travelers who enjoy thoughtful planning, value expert guidance, and want their trip to feel personal rather than pre-packaged. During our initial call, we’ll talk through what you’re imagining, how you like to travel, and what matters most to you. I’ll also share how I work and what you can expect from the planning process.

That conversation is just as much for you as it is for me. By the end, you should feel comfortable, clear, and excited about what’s ahead. If it feels like a natural fit, we’ll take the next steps together. If not, you’ll still leave with clarity and direction for planning your trip.

You’ll receive a personalized digital itinerary with confirmations, recommendations, and travel guidance. For full-service clients, in-destination support is available through trusted partners. If something unexpected arises, I’m always here to help troubleshoot.

I think so! Your time, energy, and peace of mind are worth protecting.

When planning a trip with me, you skip the hours of research and second-guessing. I handle the logistics and coordination so you can focus on the excitement of the journey.

Beyond saving time, I bring expertise and insight that most travelers simply don’t have access to. With a constant finger on the pulse of the industry, I know which destinations are trending, when to go, and which hotels or experiences deliver the best value for the experience you want. Through my Virtuoso network, I can also secure exclusive perks and upgrades that elevate your stay and add value.

Most importantly, every itinerary I design is deeply personal. I’ll take the time to understand your travel style, priorities, and preferences, then create a trip that feels uniquely yours. And if anything changes along the way, I’ll be your advocate and point of contact so you’re never navigating it alone.

In short: I make sure your travel investment pays off in comfort, in confidence, and in unforgettable memories.
