A quick guide to the most common questions about my services, planning process, and how I can help make your travels stress-free.
Travel should feel effortless...that starts here.
What is a travel concierge, and how is it different from a travel agent? Think of me as your personal travel designer. Instead of simply booking flights and hotels, I take the time to get to know your travel style and preferences, then create a customized itinerary that feels effortless and elevated - down to the smallest detail.
What types of trips do you plan? I plan all kinds of getaways - from luxury European escapes and vineyard retreats to family adventures and milestone celebrations. Each trip is tailored just for you, so no two itineraries are ever the same.
Do you help with booking cruises? Absolutely! Some of my favorite vacations are cruises. I book all cruises complimentary, or design a custom cruise itinerary, complete with shore excursions and pre- or post-cruise stays. I’ll take care of the details so you can simply enjoy the journey, both on and off the ship.
Do you charge a planning fee? Yes, I do. My planning fee covers the time and care I put into researching, designing, and booking your trip. It ensures I can dedicate myself fully to creating a seamless, one-of-a-kind experience for you. Hotel or cruise-only bookings, with no personalized itinerary are complimentary.
Can you book flights? Yes! I can handle flights along with trains, rental cars, and private transfers. I’ll also help with seat selections, upgrades, and changes. My itinerary app includes a live flight tracker, so traveling feels as smooth as possible.
What if I already know where I want to go? Perfect! If you already have a destination in mind, I can simply handle your booking or I’ll take your ideas and elevate them - adding special touches, arranging exclusive experiences, and making sure everything fits together beautifully.
What if I’ve already booked but need help now? No problem! I can step in at any stage of your trip to provide guidance, recommendations, or concierge support. From refining your itinerary to securing last-minute reservations or upgrades, I’ll help make the journey seamless and stress-free.
Do you only plan international trips? Not at all. While many of my clients (and I) love exploring abroad, I also plan elevated domestic trips - from luxury cabin stays to beach getaways and Vegas, baby!
How far in advance should I reach out? The earlier the better! I recommend reaching out 3 - 6 months in advance for big trips, especially international travel. But if your timeline is shorter, let’s chat - I may still be able to help.
Can you help with special occasions? Of course! Honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, or just a “because” trip - I love adding thoughtful touches that make your celebration even more memorable.
What if something comes up while I’m traveling? You won’t be on your own. If something unexpected happens, I’ll be there to help troubleshoot and take care of the details so you can keep enjoying your trip. My itinerary app has a chat feature to stay connected.
How do I get started? It’s simple - fill out my Travel Inquiry Form and share your vision with me. From there, we’ll set up a consultation and start designing your dream getaway together.
Why “Chasing Sunsets”? Anyone who knows me knows I’m obsessed with sunsets - both in my backyard and all around the world. For me, it’s the most magical and peaceful time of day, when the sky transforms into vibrant shades of orange, pink, and purple. You’ll notice my itineraries will almost always feature suggested spots to capture the sunset, from beaches to rooftop lounges.
Do you only plan luxury trips? Yes and no. I specialize in luxury and boutique experiences - think personalized details and unique stays. But luxury looks different for everyone. For some, it’s a five-star resort. For others, it’s a charming inn with authentic touches. My goal is to define what luxury means to you and craft your trip around that.
What’s your favorite part of the planning process? Bringing it all together. After months of dreaming and designing, seeing the final itinerary - polished, and ready for you to enjoy - is my favorite moment.
