This is where I figure out what makes the perfect trip for you and your crew.
We'll dig deep into details and see how my service fits into your plans.
Using your input, I'll create your proposal with my top recommendations and transparent pricing.
I'll ask for your feedback, and we'll tweak the details until it fits like a glove.
This is where you give me the thumbs up and start getting REALLY excited!
I'll handle the paperwork, the payments, and I'll make sure you have ALL the info you need to travel confidently in a new place.
When it's time to go you'll have everything you need in your personal travel itinerary.
All you need to do is show up, have fun, and make memories!
Because I get it. You want to see it all, but not be rushed. You want to cover a lot of ground, but not spend all your time in transit. You want unique experiences, but you don't want to miss the highlights, either. More than anything, you want to relax and come back feeling like it was all worth it. This is what I excel at, and I have all the tips and tricks to maximize every minute (and dollar) for your trip.
Are you part of the Overthinkers Club? Yes? Me, too. You're in the right place, because I get it. I know all the things that keep you up at night, and I know that you worry most about missing something important because you didn't know it was important. Relax. Let me overthink this one for you, because my superpower is making sure you're 100% comfortable and confident when you leave.
You don't want to spend a week in one place, but you don't want to spend every minute in transit, either. You want plenty of downtime to reconnect, but you also want to do something that makes you both go WOW. I specialize in helping couples find the places and vibe that fit you both.
Imagine having a BFF that knows your travel style better than you do. That's me! I'm all about getting to know you- your likes, dislikes, and all the fun quirky things that make you...well, you. I ask the right questions, and (unlike your partner, kids, or MIL), I LISTEN to the answers and remember them.
The internet can tell you what to see, but if you've ever spent the day zigzagging across a city only to find out the restaurant you're looking for is closed on Tuesday, that's where I come in. With 20+ years of experience and thousands of vacations behind me I have an arsenal of insider info and hidden gems.
I handpick my partners and personally connect with each person you will come in contact with on your trip. Relationships are the key to my success, and I'm proud of that.
I work for you. Not the cruise line, not the hotel, not your travel partner that says "anything is fine" then second guesses every choice you make.
You deserve to have someone who has your back and makes you look like the rockstar you are.
Think of your stylist...the one who knows your real hair color and keeps it looking effortless...that's me, but for your vacation.
You're probably planning this vacation for someone (or a whole entourage) that expects it to just magically happen and be perfect.
That's a lot of stress, because you KNOW that whatever isn't perfect will be your fault. Sound familiar?
That's too much pressure. Plus...Who's making sure you get what YOU need? We often put our wish list last, but what if everybody could get their wish list INCLUDING you?
This isn't a part time hobby or a side hustle for me; it's a career I've cultivated over the last 20 years.
No matter how crazy you think your group is, whatever the question, I've got answers based on experience.
I know which resorts carry Coke and which ones have Pepsi. Hubs will only drink single malt scotch with 4 ice cubes? Done. Relax...I've got you.
Join me in my exclusive Facebook group for luxury travel enthusiasts! You'll get authentic travel stories, insider tips, and eye-catching photos from our community. Plus, I'll share my personal travel advice, fresh news, and enticing destination highlights. Best part? We're all friends sharing our love for travel.

I'm all about relationships. With you, with my destination partners, with the front desk agents at my favorite hotels. That means that the more we work together the more personalized the experience becomes.
We start with a complimentary consultation to talk about some initial ideas. If you decide to hire me I'll start designing the full day to day itinerary. Based on your feedback I'll polish and refine the details until it fits you perfectly.
To gain access to my connections, advice, recommendations, representation and one-on-one planning process I charge a professional fee for my services. Fees vary depending on your needs, and start at $225 for semi custom itineraries and $445 for multi part adventures. You will be provided with a custom quote and invoice after your initial consultation.
Every trip is designed from scratch based on your personal preferences and needs. Because of this, costs vary greatly, but the average starting price of a curated vacation is $500 per person per day. This normally includes boutique or resort accommodations, personalized activities, domestic air, all transportation and transfers once you reach your international destination, entrance fees, some meals, and 24 hour support while traveling. Pricing does not include international long haul flights or insurance.
Things happen, and I'm here to help you with all the options. Supplier policies vary, and I'll clearly explain these based on your trip and offer you ways to protect your investment.
Every itinerary is unique. I design all types of adventures, from romantic anniversaries to luxury tented camp safaris. I send girlfriends to wellness retreats and families hiking in national parks. Trips have a minimum of 5 nights which allows me to deliver immersive, memory making experiences.
Schedule your complimentary consultation by clicking here. We'll talk about what you're planning, what type of help you need, and how I fit into the picture. If you decide to hire me I'll get to work finding the most memorable options for your trip. I'll take care of the details, leaving you with all of the fun and none of the stress.
After your trip is booked, most of our information will be exchanged through emails. If you have something to chat about, I will ask you to make an appointment (when possible) so I can give you my undivided attention. You're also welcome to text and if we need to schedule a call I'll send you the link to my calendar. While traveling, you will have 24 hour support so help is only a phone call away should a need arise.
Of course! After you’ve looked everything over, we can talk through any changes that you would like to make. This is your trip, and it's as unique as you are, so I want to make sure we get it right. Some changes may have associated fees from the supplier.
The most convenient option for your documents is your electronic itinerary. My past clients rave about how incredibly useful these electronic itineraries are, and I highly recommend them to everyone I work with.
These e-documents can be accessed on your smartphone at all times on your trip and shared with loved ones who want to know your itinerary as well.
When the time comes, I will send you instructions on how to utilize them to the fullest.
If you prefer a hard copy of your itinerary, just let me know, but more often than not, my clients end up choosing the electronic versions.
