Get in touch
Whether you've already found a hotel or you're just starting to think about the trip, here's where to begin.
Already found a hotel?
Send the hotel you’re interested in before you book. I'll tell you honestly whether it's right fit for your occasion, free, within a day.
Ready to start planning?
Tell me where you're headed, what is on your bucket list and what matters most. I'll follow up to talk through the details and discuss next steps.
Frequently asked questions, answered.
Here's what people usually want to know before reaching out. If your question isn't answered, ask it directly, I read every message myself.
-
Yes, more or less. "Travel advisor" is the term the industry has shifted to, and it reflects the shift itself, less order-taking, more actual expertise. Like a financial advisor, I bring real, working knowledge to the decision, not just a booking interface. I can build a trip from nothing, or step in once you've already chosen a hotel, either way, the job is the same.
-
I bring judgment to a decision you'd otherwise be making blind. That means narrowing down the right property for your specific trip, flagging the ones that look right online but aren't, and handling the booking itself so nothing gets missed. The goal isn't just finding you a nice hotel, it's finding you the right one.
-
The full, honest comparison lives on the home page, worth reading before you decide. Short version: those tools get you perks at the hotel you already picked. What I bring is judgment about which hotel that should be in the first place, including telling you when it's the wrong one.
-
Yes, no catch. Send me the hotel you're considering and I'll tell you honestly whether it's right, no charge, no obligation to book anything through me afterward.
-
Booking through me gives you access to a network of more than 4,500 hotels and travel providers, including Virtuoso, Four Seasons, Rosewood and more. In practice that often means a room upgrade, breakfast included, or early check-in, at the same rate you'd pay booking direct. The access is a byproduct of the relationships, not the reason to book with me, the value is knowing which of those hotels is actually right for your trip.
-
It depends on what you're booking. Hotel-only reservations are free, I'm paid a commission by the property, at no cost to you. Flights carry a flat ticketing fee of $50 per person, per ticket. Transfers and airport meet-and-greet are also commission-based, no extra fee to you. For fuller trip planning or group trips, see Travel Services for tier pricing. Everything is discussed and agreed before any fee is charged.
-
That depends on the hotel or provider. Most require a card to hold the room, some also take a deposit at booking. I'll always tell you the exact deposit and cancellation policy for your chosen property before anything is charged, so there are no surprises.
-
Yes, group trips are exactly what the Group & Celebration tier is built for, family reunions, bachelorette trips, milestone birthdays, company retreats. Reach out and we'll talk through the group size and what you need.
-
Then you should, planning can be part of the fun, and I get that. Even so, tell me the hotels you're considering and I'll book them for you, so you still get the rate, the upgrade, and the early check-in, at no extra cost. I'll also flag anything I know about the property that isn't obvious online, the room that looks great in photos but faces a wall, for instance.
-
It depends on the trip. Some bookings take an hour. Others, multi-stop, multi-family itineraries, take a few weeks to get right. We'll talk timeline early, once I know what you're planning.
-
Tell me everything. Whether you golf, need a kids' club, or can't stand sand between your toes, the more specific, the better the fit. Allergies and dietary restrictions matter too. Past trips you've loved are useful context, and budget is the most important detail of all, I want to be aligned on it from the start so every option I show you actually fits.
-
Yes, though I specialize in the on-the-ground experience, hotels and activities most of all. Many clients book their own flights and use their points for that, which is completely reasonable. If you'd like me to handle it, there's a flat ticketing fee, see "How do you charge?" above for more information.
-
No problem, forward me the confirmation and I'll look into a takeover booking, adding myself as your agent of record. You'll get the same partner benefits at no additional cost, and nothing changes about your reservation itself.
-
Yes, for Trip Design and Group & Celebration bookings, I'll help secure special reservations you may need. I can't guarantee availability everywhere, but I'll always do what I can to get you in. You can also work with your hotel concierge as an added benefit at many hotels I partner with.
