PLANNING PACKAGES
My planning fees are a one-time payment per household per trip. I will book all elements of your travel as listed above.
White-Glove Planning
Per household 5-10 days
This white-glove planning fee allows me to plan, research and book every element of your luxury vacation for one destination such as all-inclusive trips to Mexico/Caribbean, theme park destinations, and cruises all while staying within your budget and in alignment with your personal travel style. Proposal includes up to three resort suggestions in one destination. I'll organize your itinerary, offer my best tips for your destination, and remind you of important dates and/or upcoming payments.
​
*Greater than 10 days price upon request
**surcharge may be applicable for travel within 60 days
White-Glove Planning for Europe and Hawaii
Per Household 7-14 days
This white-glove planning fee allows me to plan, research and book your vacation for more complicated itineraries. I'll coordinate and organize your trip from start to finish.
​
*Greater than 10 days price upon request
**surcharge may be applicable for travel within 60 days
Group Travel Planning
Per Group
Before bringing together a group of your favorite friends, family, followers, or clients we will work with the group organizer to curate the perfect itinerary. Each traveling household will then work with me individually to align their travel arrangements with the group plan, while at the same time meeting their personal travel needs. This is a planning and research service only.
Emergency Support / Rebooking Fee
Per Household
Need to cancel your trip and rebook the same vacation for a later date? I can take care of the tiny details from canceling each element of your current booking to confirming new dates. Should you need rebooking services while you are away I can also take full care of that.
MY PROCESS
If you have never worked with a professional travel advisor before (or a great one), you'll find my process effective and efficient.
01
GET IN TOUCH
Sign up for a complimenary online or phone chat to start the process. This is not a commitment, but simply a way to get the ball rolling and have a chat about your vacation.
02
ONLINE MEETING OR PHONE CALL
This is where we will get to know each other if we don't already. I will ask you a number of questions aimed at getting to know your travel preferences and style.
03
LET'S GET STARTED
Once we both determine that we are good fit, the fun begins. Pay sign our simple contract and I'll get to work on your vacation options.
04
RESEARCH, PRESENTATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
I will present you with a full itinerary containing options for travel, activities and accommodations. You may request any small adjustments before we lock in your trip itinerary.
05
WHILE YOU ARE AWAY
I will only ever be an email, text or call away if you need me and you will also have support in country if you are international. In the event that you need to activate your emergency support plan I will be on standby and ready to help.
06
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
The only feeling better than getting home is having your next trip in the pipeline. Let's get you scheduled for that next trip right away whether you want to take it in a month or a year.
