About

As a personalized travel experience designer, I help people move beyond saying “we should go somewhere” and actually take trips without the stress, the guessing, or the regret. Planning travel today can feel overwhelming with endless options, conflicting reviews, and a browser full of open tabs. My role is to simplify the entire process and turn your ideas into a seamless, personalized travel experience that feels thoughtful, intentional, and completely taken care of from start to finish.

Because being a travel advisor is so much more than booking hotels and flights. I am a custom travel planner and luxury travel consultant who takes your Pinterest boards, screenshots, and “I kinda want to go somewhere…” ideas and turn them into real trips that flow effortlessly. My clients come to me when they are overwhelmed by research, tired of guessing what’s legit, or simply want trips that feel meaningful.

I design personalized vacations based on how you want to feel, not just where you want to go. That means the right pacing, experiences that actually fit your style, and trusted local destination experts who make things run smoothly on the ground. Thanks to my global travel network, I help you skip the places that look great online but disappoint in real life and instead unlock those “wow, I never would’ve found this on my own” moments that make travel unforgettable.

What I Help With

How I Make Travel Easier

I make sure your travel days aren’t nightmares — no missed connections, confusing transfers, or last-minute drama. You don’t need to lose an entire weekend Googling “best time to visit Costa Rica.” I have already done the research, vetted the resorts, and figured out what’s actually worth your time and money.

I don’t just toss you links. I give experience-backed recommendations tailored to your pace, preferences, and travel style. And if something unexpected pops up while you’re traveling? I’m one text away. No hold music. No explaining your story five times. Just help that actually works.

Whether you are craving rest, reconnection, adventure, or something completely new, I’ll design a trip that feels right before you leave your home.

5 Travel Advisor Myths

 There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding the travel advising industry.

 

Many people don’t realize how much the travel industry has evolved in recent years. People are traveling at record levels, yet much of the information online is outdated or conflicting, and properties are often fully booked by the time decisions are made.

Working with a travel advisor is a deeply personal choice. You’re trusting someone with a significant investment to plan a trip you may have been dreaming about your whole life.

My mission is to build long-term partnerships and friendships with my clients. You will never be just a number — I fully invest my time and resources into creating your dream vacation as if it were my own.


Does researching an entire trip, spending hours sorting through reviews and articles online, then booking your own accommodations, dining, transportation, excursions, and tour guides really sound all that easy?

It can take over 10-20 hours to plan a full itinerary! Travel advisors spend the time learning your travel preferences, researching the destination, and then curating the perfect itinerary for you.

Ultimately, working with an advisor will save you an incredible amount of time AND stress. While we aren't a discount service (though we will always keep an eye out for good deals), we do remove the element of uncertainty and always ensure a high standard of quality when planning your vacation!

Sure, you can hop on ChatGPT and get an itinerary in seconds. The same generic one that your friend would get. Or your co-worker.

As travel professionals, we are constantly researching and learning about new trends and options within the travel market. We talk to destination partners and fellow travel industry colleagues to stay on top of the latest and greatest offerings. We know the hotel managers. We have local contacts on the ground in these destinations who are experts in their respective countries and cities.

We make the human connections and add the human touch that a computer system could never replicate!

FALSE!

If you have a specific vision in mind, it is my job to bring that vision to life! The level of how much you would like to be involved with your vacation planning is completely up to you.

Plus, you always have the option to edit your proposal before we confirm the booking. Don't be afraid to speak up if something is not to your liking. The more involved you are with the process, the more I will get to know you and be able to perfect the details of your trip!

This is an extremely common misconception! My host agency is partnered with some of the leading hotel groups in the world. Through these partnerships, I can secure added perks such as room upgrades, free breakfast, late check-out, etc.

While yes, we generally only book properties that pay us commission; it is not at the expense of your budget! These partners offer a variety of options ranging from five star luxury to small boutique properties. They have been thoroughly vetted by long standing consortiums and travel professionals, and offer us much more control in the event that anything goes wrong with your reservation.

Ouch! So not true!

I'm not here to take your money and run. I enjoy building long-term partnerships and friendships with my clients! Nothing brings me more joy than watching a vacation go from dream to reality, and being able to follow along on your travels. Travel is an investment, and just as you would want to hire a financial advisor to handle your retirement funds, you should also trust a travel advisor to transform your travel experience!

We will discuss ideas for the trip and get to know each other. If you feel l am not the right fit for your travel needs, just kindly let me know!
