Frequently Asked Travel Planning Questions

How much does it cost to have you plan my trip?

I only charge for Comprehensive Multi-City itineraries at $50 per day of travel to cover customized research, itinerary creation, booking services, logistics management and support or changes needed during trip.

What is your relationship with Fora Travel?

I am an independent travel advisor supported and hosted by Fora Travel. This means you get the dedicated attention of me, backed by the massive buying power and global connections of a premier agency. Through Fora, I hold preferred status with thousands of the world’s top hotels and cruise lines.

Does it cost more to work with you vs. booking directly?

No. Hotels, cruises, and guided tours simply pay me a commission for bringing them your business. This commission is built directly into their standard pricing, similar to how they pay big sites like Booking.com or Expedia. Furthermore, through my partnership with Fora, I have access to preferred partner networks (like Virtuoso) that provide exclusive rates and elite VIP perks that you can't get booking on your own. 

Can you book flights for me?

Yes! I book flights when they are part of a broader itinerary, exclusively for Premium Economy, Business Class, and First Class tickets through Fora’s Flight Desk. For standard economy flights or trips using airline frequent flyer miles, I will provide optimal recommendations, but you will secure the booking directly. Our flight desk provides 24/7 support to help if anything goes wrong during travel.

How do you book destinations you haven’t personally visited?

Through my partnership with Fora, I have access to worldwide destination trainings and other advisor advice. I can collaborate directly with our vetted local Destination Management Companies that are on the ground to ensure your itinerary is built with authentic, top-tier experiences.

What is the "Custom Travel App" you provide?

Once booked, your entire trip is delivered via a link right to your phone. It acts as a live, digital itinerary holding all your confirmation numbers, tickets, daily schedules, location link, dining recommendations, and receipts in one secure place.

Can you help me plan group travel or multi-generational family trips? 

Absolutely! Planning a milestone birthday, a friend's getaway, or a multi-generational family reunion comes with a lot of moving parts. I love handling the complex logistics, coordinating multiple arrival times, and finding properties or cruises that perfectly cater to everyone in your group. I can also help with wedding or affinity group (like a sports team) room blocks!

How far in advance should we start planning my trip? 

As early as possible! For major international trips, European summer vacations, or cruises, I recommend reaching out at least 6 to 9 months in advance to secure the best hotels, optimal flight routing, and top-tier local guides. For quick weekend getaways or single-hotel bookings, a few months notice is usually plenty.
