Do you charge a fee to hire your services?

Yes. I work with a fee model because I am working for YOU, not the resort/tour company/other supplier. I make recommendations for your trip based on what will give you the best experience, not based on what will earn me the highest commission. I ask for a Research and Design Fee to be paid before I begin any work researching and/or designing your itinerary. The cost of hiring my services for your vacation depends on trip duration, destination, my time, resources and knowledge spent on your trip, and several other factors as well. I’ll share the exact amount with you after our initial call along with a detailed explanation of the services that I will provide you on your specific trip.

I am an experienced traveler and love the planning process. Are there any benefits for me to use your services?

Absolutely! I am here to meet your specific travel needs. You are able to remain as much (or as little) of the planning process as you'd like. I encourage all frequent travelers to reach out so that we can discuss the many ways that I can bring an added value to your travel planning. 

Do you book AirBNBs?

AirBNB and VRBO do no work directly with Travel Advisors. However, I do have access to a variety of rental options, including luxury villas, in many destinations. 

If you have already booked an AirBNB or VRBO rental, you still have the option of hiring my services for all other trip components. However, I do add the most value by planning and booking all components of a vacation including accommodations, tours/activities, and dining reservations. 

Do I have to purchase travel insurance? 

Unless required by the destination, travel insurance is not required. It is however highly recommend it if you want to protect your travel investment.

Can you get me a "good deal"?

My focus is providing you the best value and best travel experience possible through my services. I always do have your budget at the forefront when planning your trip. However, if you are only on the hunt for a "deal" and not the assistance of a travel professional, then you may be better served by booking yourself through a discount site. 

Do you have an email list?

I do! I send a quarterly newsletter with travel tips, destination spotlights and general travel inspiration. You can sign up for it by clicking here. 

I also have a private Facebook group where you can get to know me better and be a part of my travel community.  Join my group here!
