Frequently Asked Questions

What types of trips do you plan?

I plan a wide range of vacations, including cruises, all-inclusive resorts, family and multigenerational trips, honeymoons, anniversaries, and special-occasion travel. Each trip is customized based on your preferences, budget, and travel style — no cookie-cutter itineraries.

Do you charge a fee for travel planning?

My services are completely free to you!
I’m compensated by the vendors, who already have a built-in commission on their prices. When you book through websites, they keep the commission. But when you book through me, that commission supports my small business, while I provide you with personalized service.

There is a REFUNDABLE research fee of $50 for 1-4 travelers and $100 for more than 4 (paid via Venmo or PayPal), which simply helps ensure my time and effort are respected, protecting against price shopping or clients booking elsewhere after receiving my hard work and effort in planning your perfect trip. This research fee will be returned to you when your trip is paid in full.

Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online myself?

Booking online often means juggling dozens of tabs, conflicting reviews, and uncertainty about what you’re really getting.

When you work with me, you get:

• Personalized recommendations (not sponsored ads)

• Expert guidance and honest advice

• Time saved and stress reduced

• Support before, during, and after your trip

If something unexpected happens while you’re traveling, you’re not on your own — you have an advocate.

Can you help with accessible or special travel needs?

Yes. With a background in occupational therapy, I approach travel planning with care and intention. I can help consider mobility needs, sensory sensitivities, pacing, room layouts, and accessibility features to create a trip that feels comfortable and supportive.

If you’re unsure what you’ll need, we can talk it through together.

Do you plan trips for families and groups?

Absolutely. I work with families, couples, friend groups, and multigenerational travelers. Group travel can feel overwhelming to plan — I help simplify the process and coordinate the details so everyone can enjoy the experience.

Can you work with my budget?

Yes. My goal is to create the best possible experience within your comfort range. Having a budget in mind helps me narrow down options and make thoughtful recommendations that align with your priorities.

Do you only book certain destinations or brands?

No. I work with a wide range of trusted travel partners worldwide, which allows me to match you with the best fit for your trip rather than pushing a specific brand or destination.

What if I need to make changes after booking?

I’m here to help. Travel plans can change, and I assist with adjustments, questions, and support whenever possible. I’ll also guide you through supplier policies and options so you understand what’s available.

Do you offer travel insurance?

Yes, and I strongly recommend it. Travel protection can help protect your investment and provide peace of mind in case of unexpected changes, delays, or medical needs. I’ll explain your options so you can choose what feels right for you. If you choose to forego this protection, I will request that you sign a waiver acknowledging this choice.

How far in advance should I contact you?

The earlier, the better — especially for popular travel dates, school vacations, or group trips. Flights cannot be booked until your travel dates are within 330 days. That said, I’m always happy to help whenever you’re ready to start planning.

How do we get started?

Getting started is easy. Simply reach out through the contact form, and we’ll schedule a conversation to talk about your travel ideas, needs, and next steps.

From there, I’ll take care of the details — so you can focus on looking forward to your trip.
