Working with a travel advisor
Your trip, planned with someone who understands you
Â
Planning a trip shouldn't mean sorting through endless tabs and conflicting reviews. I do the research for you, get to know your travel style, and design a trip that fits your vision.
​
What I do:
-
Learn your travel style, budget, and must-haves before recommending anything
-
Match you with hotels, tours, and experiences I know and trust
-
Request perks and upgrades through my supplier relationships, when they're available
-
Handle the details, from booking reservations to the changes that come up along the way
-
Stay reachable before, during, and after your trip
​
How it works:
-
Tell me about your trip. Share your dates, destination ideas, and what matters most to you.
-
Review your plan. I'll send tailored recommendations and refine them with you.
-
Book with confidence. I compare rates and inclusions to help you get the best value.
-
Travel with support. If plans shift or something goes wrong, you have a real person to call.
​
Why it's worth it:
A good advisor saves you time and helps you avoid costly missteps. I also bring experience, relationships, firsthand knowledge, and personal attention that a booking website can't offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a travel advisor do?
I plan and book your trip from  start to finish. That includes researching destinations, recommending hotels and experiences, handling reservations, and supporting you if plans change.
​
How much does it cost to work with you?
Advisors earn commission from suppliers, who value working with us and often extend extra savings  or perks to our clients. That is the primary way I am compensated for my travel advising. Depending on how much time and planning your trip requires, there may also be a planning fee.Â
​
Will I pay more than if I booked on my own?
As an advisor, I can access the same rates you'd find online, as well as many that you cannot. Whenever possible, I add perks like room upgrades, breakfast, or credits that aren't available to the public. I also work directly with hotels, resorts, tour operators, and others to ensure your specific needs and requests are met.Â
​
How far in advance should I reach out?
As early as you can. For popular destinations, peak seasons, or international trips, booking ahead gives you the best choice. I can also help with shorter timelines, so reach out even if your trip is soon.
​
What if something goes wrong while I'm traveling?
You'll have someone to contact. I can help rebook, coordinate with suppliers, and work through disruptions like delays or cancellations.Â
​
Do you only book luxury trips?
Not at all. I work with all ranges of budgets and travel styles.Â
​
Can you book flights, tours, and transportation too?
Yes! I can help with almost anything you need for your trip - from flights to rental cars, hotels to vacation homes, tours to travel insurance, and much more.Â
Work with me in a way that makes sense for YOU.Â
Need a hotel for a quick weekend trip?
​
Planning a family trip and want to be sure you consider all options?
​
Love planning your own trip, but want to be sure you're getting the best rates and service?
​
Have an idea where you want to go, but need help narrowing down the best fit for your goals and budget?
​
Thinking about a longer trip and want to make the most of your time away?
​
There are many reasons to work with a travel advisor, and just as many ways to do so! Often, there is no charge to work with me. If we're working together on a longer, more in-depth trip, a minor planning fee helps compensate for my time.
