There are many reasons! First of all, you gain an expert resource who can partner with you to plan the trip of your dreams. Say goodbye to hours upon hours of research, and let me do the heavy lifting for you.

Second, travel advisors have access to VIP perks, amenities, and sometimes rates that are not available to the DIY traveler. I can help maximize value so that you have the best experience possible.

Finally, this is an industry built on personal, trusted relationships— not only with our travel partners and suppliers, but also with you! When you work with me, you can expect a travel experience that is well vetted and perfectly customized to you.

Most of the time, booking through a travel advisor is the same cost as booking on your own (and sometimes cheaper!). If it is more expensive, it’s usually because there are perks included (whose value often outweighs the extra cost).

My job is to understand your travel style, preferences, and budget and present you with the rate options that are most aligned with what you value. You always have the final say!

I have an extensive partner network of more than 5,500 hotels worldwide that offer VIP perks and amenities to my clients. Perks vary by property but often include things like free breakfast, complimentary room upgrades, resort and spa credits, extended check-in/out, and more.

Hotels and cruises pay me commission because they value the partnership that travel advisors have to offer (and the lovely clients we send their way!).

Service fees for the Tailored Trip and Elite Itinerary packages are meant to compensate me for work that does not earn commission, such as itinerary planning and concierge service.

At this time, I do not handle economy flight bookings. I can assist with premium economy, business class, first class, and private flight options.

If you choose to book your own flights, I am happy to advise on flight times and routes to help optimize your travel experience.

Reach out! Sometimes I am able to take over the booking, which means I get added as the agent on record, and you get the VIP perks (at no extra cost to you, of course)!
