I offer custom luxury travel planning services. I will work to tailor your vacation to meet your luxury travel goals, but still keep it authentic. I will design a special vacation from scratch and do all the research, preparation, confirmation of your bookings, and customization of your itinerary. This could include arranging flights, hotel, rental car, excursions, dinner reservations - you name it! I am there for you from start to finish.
Let me take the "work" out of trip planning. I take the time you don’t have and the worry off your shoulders. Where the only thing you need to do is sit back, relax, and ESCAPE, rather than stress over the details.
This is an upfront, non-refundable fee that covers my luxury travel planning services. It means you can confidently trust in me to take care of all the details in designing a one-of-a-kind vacation curated for you.
This includes trip research, any pre-travel preparation, presenting options and custom proposals/quotes, booking the components of your trip (hotels, transfers, train tickets, private excursions, dinners, etc.), offering optional travel insurance, and creating a unique itinerary that fits your travel needs.
And most importantly, having me by your side to guide you through the planning process. I’m here for you every single step of the way! Here's a summary of what I offer.
First, I email an inquiry form, so I can get more details from you and have a better idea of your travel goals/needs. From there, if we are a good fit, we will chat more about my services and my planning fee. Once I receive my planning fee and travel contract from you, then it’s time to get started planning your trip!
While I look out for my clients' best interests, if you are set on booking an Airbnb type of accommodation or VRBO, I am not the best fit for you. I cannot vet these properties, and they do not work with travel advisors.
Budget vacations or finding a “deal” is simply not what I do or am about. I curate luxury experiences and am not in the “deal finding” business. While I look out for my clients best interests and compare pricing to get the best value on their vacation, if you are only looking for a deal, then I’m 100% not for you.
SO MANY REASONS! My services are custom, personalized, and come without the stress and time you will spend fretting over what to book online. Which means you are working with a human being who not only cares about the quality of your vacation, but understands your travel goals/needs. Your vacation will have those personal touches and special elements that booking something online won’t provide you. I guide you every step of the way. You don’t need to worry about dinner reservations or finding excursions, etc. I will take care of all those details. I vet my properties, so you never have to wonder if the online pictures and reviews are legit. I also have access to resources and connections through my travel network, who are there to assist me with making your vacation that much better.
Everything! Flights, hotels, train tickets, excursions, dinner reservations, transfers--you name it. I will say the only exception sometimes to this is flights and that depends on the route we go with booking. Many clients do book their own flights. If that’s the case, I will do all the research on flight options and make it as easy as possible.
Besides booking the components of your trip, ABSOLUTELY NOT. My upfront planning fee covers my services, and I charge nothing additional. I think there is a common misconception that travel advisors upcharge and tack on additional fees to vacation packages, but this is not the case. I always look for the best value I can find when it comes to the price of your vacation. I’m in no way trying to sneak in extra fees.
