FAQ
Q. Why should You book with a travel Advisor?
A. Working with a travel advisor takes the stress, guesswork, and hours of research out of planning a trip, while adding insider knowledge and personalized service you won’t find on Google. Think of me as your personal travel concierge, focused on making your journey seamless, memorable, and truly one-of-a-kind.
Q. WHAT WOULD WORKING WITH YOU LOOK LIKE?
A. I can be as hands on as you need me to be (or not). In some cases my clients prefer to be involved in every step of the planning process, having me focus on resolving any travel issues or cancellations. Many more of my clients come to me because they do not have the time to plan a trip themselves & prefer that I manage every detail of their vacation instead. In short, working with me in tailored to your needs.
Q. How far in advance should we start planning our trip?
Ideally, we should begin planning your vacation 6–12 months in advance, especially for popular destinations, luxury accommodations, and peak travel seasons. Early planning ensures the best availability, more competitive pricing, and access to exclusive experiences. That said, I can also assist with last-minute travel, just know options may be more limited.
Q. What’s the first step in working with you?
The first step is to schedule a complimentary consultation. We’ll chat about your travel goals, preferences, and must-haves. I’ll also walk you through my services and answer any questions. From there, we’ll begin designing a trip that’s tailored specifically to you.
Q. Do you plan expedition and river cruises?
Absolutely! I work with top-tier expedition and river cruise lines that blend luxury with immersive experiences. Expedition cruises focus on remote, nature-rich destinations (think Antarctica or the Galápagos). River cruises offer a relaxed, intimate way to explore Europe and beyond, often docking right in the heart of charming towns and cities.
Q. Do you book flights, hotels, and tours too?
Yes! I can handle as much or as little as you'd like, including: flights, accommodations, transfers, excursions, private guides, dining reservations, and more. My goal is to make your travel experience effortless and elevated. I craft itineraries that are personalized to you.
Q. Do you help with group trips or special celebrations?
Yes! Whether it’s a milestone birthday, family reunion, or friends’ getaway, I specialize in crafting seamless group travel experiences. I handle all the logistics from coordinating flights and accommodations to arranging special touches like private dinners or excursions.
Q. Do you offer travel insurance?
Yes, I strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment. It can cover unexpected cancellations, medical emergencies, trip interruptions, lost luggage, and more. It’s a small cost for major peace of mind.
Q. What does your planning fee include?
My planning fee covers comprehensive, personalized service from start to finish. I take care of the research, bookings, itinerary design, and trip management so you can focus on enjoying your vacation. You’ll have one point of contact (me) for questions, changes, and on-the-ground support if anything comes up while you’re away.
