Most people think hiring a travel advisor means having someone make a reservation for you.
That’s the last ten minutes of the job.
The rest is research you don’t have time for, questions you didn’t know to ask, and knowing which of the forty options in front of you is the one that fits your family.
It’s understanding that the ocean-view room is a nine-minute walk from the pool with a stroller. It’s building a week that works for a nine-year-old and a seventy-nine-year-old at the same time. It’s being the person who picks up the phone when a flight board changes at 6am, and who already knows exactly who to call.
That work has always been what I do. As of September 1, 2026, it has a fee attached to it.
Here’s exactly what that means...
I’m a good fit if you want a trip built around your family rather than a package everyone else is buying — and if you’d rather hand the details to someone who’s done this for ten years than spend your evenings with sixteen browser tabs open.
I’m especially at home with:
- Milestone travel — anniversaries, big birthdays, graduations, the trips that mark something
- Multi-generational family trips — three generations, different energy levels, one week that has to work for everybody
- Group travel — reunions, organizations, and clubs where the logistics have outgrown a volunteer
- Cruises and complex itineraries where the timing genuinely matters
I’m probably not the right fit if you’re looking for the lowest price on a single hotel night, or if you’d like a quote to compare against three other quotes. That’s a real service — it just isn’t mine.
A real conversation about where you’re going and what you want the trip to be. No charge, no obligation. I’ll ask some questions you won’t expect.
I’ll tell you which service fits and exactly what it costs. Your planning fee is due here, before the work starts.
Research, design, booking, and all the coordination underneath — flights, transfers, dining, the special requests. You review, we adjust, I handle the rest.
Through booking, up to departure, and while you’re gone. When something changes, I’m the one who finds out first.
Walt Disney World or Disneyland — from $150
Ocean Cruise or All-Inclusive Resort — from $200
River Cruise or Fully Custom Travel — from $250
All trips have two or three levels depending on how much you’d like to hand over, up to $500 for the most involved.
Group travel — three or more households — is priced separately.
The planning fee is separate from the cost of your trip and is due before I start.
Tell me what kind of trip you’re thinking about and I’ll send you the full details.
