How do I get started?
You're already off to a great start just by being here! The first step is to think about what kind of trip you’d like to take—maybe a cruise, a laid-back beach escape, or an epic road trip through New Zealand. You don’t need all the answers right now—this is just the starting point. Then click on "REQUEST A QUOTE" and tell me all about your trip.
Next, I’ll send over a quick questionnaire to get a sense of your travel style and preferences. This helps me design a trip that’s perfectly tailored to you.
Once I have all your info, I’ll create a customized proposal that may include flights, cruises, hotels, excursions, and more—along with pricing. If anything isn’t quite right, we’ll tweak it together until it fits your vision. Planning should be fun, not stressful, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.
Do you charge a fee for your services?
My travel planning services are complimentary—I don’t charge any fees for booking hotels, car rentals, excursions, cruises, tours, or vacation packages that include flights. I earn a commission from my travel partners at no extra cost to you. You'll pay the same price as if you booked it yourself, but by working with me, you’ll enjoy expert guidance and a more personalized experience.
The only exception is if you’re booking flights only:
$25 per person for domestic flights
$50 per person for international flights
Since airlines don’t pay commission, this small fee covers the time and effort to find you the best options.
Can I still earn points or miles?
In most cases, yes! Many airlines and hotel brands still allow you to earn points or miles when booking through a travel advisor. I’ll confirm this for you when planning your trip.
Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online?
Online booking sites can be convenient, but they don’t offer the personalized service and expert guidance that a travel advisor provides. I help you navigate the options, handle the details, and make sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Plus, if anything unexpected happens while you’re traveling, you’ve got someone in your corner to help—no call centers, no waiting on hold.
