How I Can Help
The Process
01 | Tell me about your trip
Reach out to me here and let me know what you have in mind.
​
You don't have to have it all figured out! If you're not entirely sure where or when you want to go, or who will be coming with you, that's totally fine. All I need to get started is a general vibe and a general budget.
02 | Let's talk it out
To plan the perfect trip, I'll schedule a chat to get to know you, your travel style, and the type of experience you want to have — whether you want to go a mile a minute, have the chillest trip possible, or something in between.
03 | Research, research, research
I'll do my thing — curate a list of options for accommodations, activities, restaurants, and more. Through feedback and collaboration, we'll assemble the perfect itinerary that fits your unique travel style.
04 | Lock it in
By the end of the process, I'll have everything booked for you and your party, and I'll hand off your final itinerary. This vacation cheat sheet will contain all the details of your trip, so you can spend more time relaxing and less time digging up details and info on your adventure.

02
Why use a travel advisor?
Aside from handling the heavy lifting of planning your trip, our relationships in the travel world allow us to score sweet upgrades, credits, and perks for you and your party.
​
What kind of perks?
​
It varies, but perks typically include room upgrades, free breakfasts and other meals, spa credits, complimentary bottles of wine upon check-in, just to name a few.
04
What don't you do?
While I can give you advice on anything, a few things are tricky for me as a travel agent:
​
AirBnBs and VRBOs: These companies don't allow booking by third parties (aka travel advisors). Also, I can't step in if something goes wrong or doesn't meet your expectations. However, I do have a database of professionally managed private homes that are a great alternative!
​
Flights: Airlines provide the best customer service when communicating directly with their clients. I'm happy to help you research flights to your destination, but I always recommend booking direct!
