Planning the trip of your dreams requires getting to know a bit about you. We’ll start with a 30-minute introductory call where I’ll ask you a few questions to learn about your travel style and preferences, explain how it all works and answer any questions you may have. (I’ll send you a short questionnaire prior to this call to capture some of your travel details.) Once we decide we’re a good fit for each other, you’ll be invoiced for a planning fee* and I’ll begin the planning process!

*It takes experience, connections, time, creativity and attention to detail to create amazing trips. Vacations are an investment of your hard-earned money and like any investment it’s important that you get it right. In most cases we charge a research & planning fee, which will be based on the complexity/time required to design your trip, so that we can nail it for you.

Using the information you provided, my insider knowledge, my experience and the network of my industry partnerships, I will create a few custom-designed itinerary options. I will then work with you to fine-tune the details until we land on an itinerary that’s perfectly matched to you.

Once we’ve landed on the perfect itinerary, I will handle the booking of all the components of your vacation. You will be notified of cancellation policies, when deposits are due, etc. I will be here to assist before, during and after your trip.

Once your trip is booked, the only thing left for you to do is pack your bags and go! I will take care of monitoring your booking, confirming your hotel stays and transfers and delivering your final travel documents by email. A special travel app will allow you to access your itinerary from anywhere, even offline. You can also expect a helpful “What to Pack” list from me before you head off. During your trip I will be available to help should any issues come up.

I look forward to hearing about your trip when you return home!
