FAQs
What are your services?
I begin each travel planning session with a one-on-one consultation.
I then create a detailed proposal with a variety of vacation options. This can be as simple as an itinerary or as in-depth as "door-to-door" details.
​
After you've chosen your dream vacation, I make all bookings, arrange payments, logistics, details, and documents pre-travel. I'm available during your travel for emergencies and questions.
What do you charge?
For most all-inclusives, honeymoons, group tours, ocean cruises, river cruises, and Disney vacations, I do not charge a fee. I earn a commission from my suppliers.
​
If you are interested in a custom vacation, a fee may be charged to accommodate the countless research hours and itinerary building customized to your liking.
​
Please be aware if you ask me to build an itinerary for you, and you choose not to book with me, I do reserve the right to invoice you for my research fee. This can vary from $50-$200 dependent upon the amount of time spent on the plans.
Why should I use a travel agent?
Not only am I passionate about planning travel, but I am a traveling agent.
​
I visit properties, meet with suppliers, experience adventures, so I can ensure your vacation will exceed your expectations.
​
I have built relationships with suppliers, hotel managers, and concierges. I can create unique experiences for you because of these relationships.
​
Leave all the stress and logistics up to me, so you can truly enjoy your vacation.
How should I prepare for my initial consultation?
Vacation is all about expectation, so to prepare for your initial consultation with me, I want you to think about the type of experience you imagine yourself having on vacation. You don't have to know a location or destination, but you should have a vision.
​
Just as important as experience is budget. Everyone has their own expectations for the amount a vacation should cost. I can work with a variety of budgets to ensure the experience you are imagining can become a reality. Be sure to come prepared with a budget range you would like to stay within. There is no set cost for any destination, as there are a wide variety of accommodations, experiences, and modes of travel.
