Travel Planning Services

Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing beach getaway, a culture-rich city escape, or an off-the-beaten-path adventure, I offer personalized travel planning services designed to take the stress out of your journey—and make it truly unforgettable.


What I Offer

Customized Trip Planning
Every trip starts with you. I begin by learning the details of your travel goals—where you’re going, when, with whom, and why. From there, I create a personalized itinerary that reflects your travel style, interests, and budget.

Collaborative Planning
Already done some research? Great! I love working with travelers who enjoy being involved in the process. I’ll take what you’ve gathered and enhance it with expert insights:

  • Unique accommodations
  • Hidden gems and must-see attractions
  • Local events and experiences
  • Efficient travel routes between multiple destinations

Itinerary Development
After our initial consultation, I’ll provide a detailed itinerary proposal. This becomes the foundation of your trip, and we’ll continue refining it until it feels just right.


How It Works

  1. Initial Consultation
    You’ll complete a short intake form to outline your trip. Then we’ll hop on a call to talk through the details—your preferences, priorities, and must-haves.
  2. Itinerary Proposal
    I’ll create a preliminary itinerary for you to review. Once approved, I move forward with booking and finalizing the details.
  3. Booking Services
    I can handle booking the accommodations, tours, transportation, and more—everything that brings your itinerary to life.  What I book is up to you and how involved you want to be.  Note that I do not book flights, but I do recommend flights for your trip.

Pricing & Fees

I primarily work on a commission basis for the services I book. However, commission doesn’t cover my time and expertise.

I do charge an upfront planning fee on more complex trips, which covers:

  • In-depth research and trip design
  • Personalized recommendations not tied to commission
  • My time, expertise, and full attention to your experience

This allows me to curate the best trip for you.  I’m happy to discuss this during our consultation.
