WORKING WITH ME

I Personalize Every Detail Around You

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. I start by getting to know your travel style, preferences, wish list, and even the things you don’t want. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a multigenerational escape, or a solo recharge trip, I tailor everything — destinations, resorts, excursions, pacing — to fit you perfectly.

And if you’re not sure what you want yet? That’s okay. I’ll guide you through the process and help you figure it out.

I Vet Every Property and Partner

I only recommend hotels, resorts, and experiences that meet a certain standard — because I know what it feels like to spend your money and time on something that doesn’t live up to the hype.

I work with trusted suppliers, vetted guides, and hospitality partners I can stand behind. That means fewer surprises, better perks, and the peace of mind that someone has your back.

I Save You Hours of Research (and Avoid the Stress Spiral)

You know that moment when you’ve looked at 27 different resorts and all the reviews start blending together? I’m here to cut through the noise.

Instead of spending your nights scrolling through TripAdvisor and second-guessing everything, you get focused recommendations that match what you’re looking for — without the overwhelm.

I Add VIP Perks You Can’t Get Online

When you book through me, you often get access to exclusive benefits like:

  • Room upgrades

  • Early check-in / late checkout

  • Resort credits

  • Welcome gifts

  • Complimentary breakfast

  • Priority waitlist or concierge access

These perks aren’t necessarily available when booking through a generic travel site — they’re part of the relationships I’ve built through my network.

I Troubleshoot and Advocate For You

This might be the most valuable part of what I do — and you won’t appreciate it until you really need it.

If a flight gets delayed, a room isn’t what you expected, or you need to adjust your itinerary mid-trip, I step in to help. You’re not stuck on hold with a call center. You have a real person (me!) who knows your trip and will do everything possible to make things right.

I Give You Back Your Time (and Keep the Excitement Alive)

Planning travel should feel exciting — not like a second job. When we work together, I take the pressure off your plate so you can enjoy the anticipation without the chaos.

From booking flights to confirming spa appointments, I handle the moving parts so you can focus on what really matters: looking forward to a trip you love.

So… Do You Need a Luxury Travel Advisor?

If you:

  • Value your time

  • Want elevated, memorable experiences

  • Are planning something important (like a honeymoon or anniversary)

  • Like the idea of having someone in your corner

… then yes, working with someone like me can completely change how you travel — for the better.

Let’s Plan Something Beautiful

Whether you have a destination in mind or need help figuring out where to go next, I’m here to guide you, simplify the process, and design something that feels totally you.

Luxury doesn’t have to mean complicated. Let’s make it easy — and unforgettable.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard someone say, “I didn’t even know travel advisors were still a thing!” Or, “Can’t I just book everything online?”

Fair questions — and I totally get it.

But here’s the truth: a luxury travel advisor doesn’t just book things. I design tailored travel experiences that fit who you are. My job isn’t about clicking “reserve” on a website. It’s about removing stress, opening doors, and helping you create a trip that feels effortless, curated, and unforgettable.

Here’s a look at what I actually do — and what it means for you.
