What are the benefits of using a Travel Advisor?

Why are hotel and cruise bookings a complimentary service?

When you book a hotel, resort, or cruise through me, I’m compensated by my trusted travel partners—so there’s no additional cost to you.

My planning fees apply only when I’m creating a fully customized itinerary or sourcing unique experiences that fall outside of those commissionable bookings. This allows me to stay focused on what truly matters: designing a seamless, personalized travel experience that reflects your vision, not just what’s bookable online.

It’s a win-win—you get expert guidance, exclusive perks, and VIP treatment, all without paying more than you would by booking on your own.

What kind of travel do you book?

From quick weekend getaways to once-in-a-lifetime escapes, I plan a wide range of travel experiences tailored to your style and goals. Think: romantic honeymoons, milestone celebrations, curated city breaks, polar expeditions, staycations, and bucket-list adventures across the globe.

If your trip falls outside my specialty, I’ll gladly refer you to a trusted advisor who’s the perfect fit—because the right experience always comes first.

Why did I find a lower price online?

It’s true—you might come across what looks like a lower rate on a booking site. But here’s the difference: I’m not just here to find you a deal—I’m here to add value to your entire experience.

As a travel advisor, I work directly with trusted hotel partners to secure the best available rates and added benefits—like room upgrades, daily breakfast, resort credits, and VIP recognition. Online prices can be misleading and often exclude taxes, fees, or reflect rooms in less desirable locations (think: above the nightclub or facing a brick wall).

If the rate you’ve found online truly is the best option, I can book it on your behalf—and still flag you as a preferred guest to ensure the hotel takes great care of you.

It’s not just about the price—it’s about peace of mind, perks, and having someone who advocates for your best experience from start to finish.

Do you book flights?

While my core focus is on designing exceptional accommodations, tours, and experiences, I can assist with flight bookings when needed. If you prefer to handle your flights independently, that’s no problem—I’ll make sure every other element of your trip aligns seamlessly with your travel schedule.

My goal is always to create a smooth, well-coordinated journey from takeoff to return.

When am I charged?

Payment terms vary depending on the hotel, cruise line, or tour operator. Some properties require a credit card to hold the reservation, while others may collect a deposit or full payment upfront.

Before confirming any booking, I’ll clearly outline all payment details and cancellation policies—so you know exactly what to expect, with no surprises along the way.

What if I want to make changes to my trip after it’s booked?

Life happens—and I’m here to support you every step of the way. If you need to adjust your itinerary, accommodations, or scheduled experiences, just reach out. I’ll handle the changes on your behalf and work with my travel partners to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Your travel experience should be flexible, not frustrating—and I’ve got you covered.

Who do I contact if something goes wrong during my trip?

If the unexpected happens, you won’t be navigating it alone. I’m just a message away, ready to step in and assist—whether it’s a delayed flight, a last-minute change, or an issue with your accommodations.

From the moment your trip is confirmed to the day you return home, I’m here to advocate for you, troubleshoot on your behalf, and ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible.

Your peace of mind isn’t just important—it’s part of the service.

What if I’m not sure where I want to go?

That’s exactly where I come in. If you’re feeling unsure or overwhelmed by options, I’ll help you uncover the perfect destination based on your interests, travel style, and goals.

Whether you're craving culture, relaxation, great food, or something totally new, I’ll offer thoughtful recommendations to inspire your next unforgettable journey—no stress, just possibilities.
