How We Work
Get To Know
Travel planning doesn’t need to feel overwhelming or like another project on your to-do list. The goal isn’t to offer every possible option, but to design the right experience for you, with clarity, care, and thoughtful pacing.
This is a collaborative process rooted in discernment. You bring your preferences, priorities, and timing. The details (and the decision fatigue) are handled with intention.
Travel Planning... Tailored just for you
Your trip deserves more than a DIY itinerary. It deserves intention, creativity, and care.

Exclusive experiences
Because You Asked...
No. I don't work with individually managed properties because I can't stand behind their quality or consistency. If you're looking for more space (like a shared living area for a group), I'll source vetted villas, apartments, or boutique hotels through my trusted partners that meet your needs without the guesswork.
Do you work with VRBO and/or Airbnb?
I take a holistic approach to trip design. Rather than quoting individual pieces in isolation, I consider accommodations, transportation, activities, and services together to create a cohesive itinerary. Bundling lets me leverage supplier relationships for better overall value and ensures every piece of your trip works together seamlessly.
Why do you provide bundled package rates?
Absolutely. A lot of the joy is in the anticipation, and I consider trip design a collaborative experience. You bring the dreaming, I bring the expertise, insider knowledge, and logistics you won't find on your own. That said, if you're looking for a one-off strategy session rather than full planning, I do offer consultation calls at a rate of $111/hr.
I love planning! Can we still work together?
Sometimes, yes. I do have access to negotiated rates and advisor-exclusive perks. But the real value isn't a price match. It's the time I save you, the stress I absorb, and the problem-solving I handle before and during your trip. If you're looking for a custom, seamless experience designed around your vision, I'd love to show you what working with an advisor actually looks like.
Do you get better rates than if I booked myself?
My Research & Planning Fee reflects the time, attention, and expertise that goes into curating a trip tailored specifically to you. Fees are based on trip complexity: the number of legs, travelers, nights, and how close to departure we're working. This structure lets me dedicate serious focus to your itinerary without cutting corners.
How are your planning fees calculated?
Technology makes it easy to book a flight or a hotel room. But designing a trip that actually fits you, your pace, your priorities, your celebration? That takes a real human with real opinions, supplier relationships, and in-destination connections. I bring first-hand knowledge, a high-touch planning experience, and the kind of support that means you're never stranded figuring things out alone.
