Start by scheduling a complimentary consultation call. During this 30-minute conversation, we'll discuss your travel dreams, preferences, and initial ideas.

No! My travel planning services are completely free to you. I'm compensated by the travel suppliers (resorts, cruise lines, tour operators, etc.) when you book through me. You get expert guidance, personalized service, and often access to exclusive perks and upgrades—all at no additional cost compared to booking on your own.

For optimal availability and the best possible experiences, I recommend:

• 6-12 months for peak season travel
• 8-12 months for special occasions and celebrations
• 12+ months for destination weddings
• 3-6 months for shorter getaways

Of course, last-minute trips are possible too! Contact me and let's see what we can create.

While anyone can book travel online, a travel advisor brings expertise, connections, and peace of mind that you simply can't get from a website. Here's what I offer:

• Time Savings: The average person spends 10+ hours researching vacation options. I do the heavy lifting for you.
• Expert Knowledge: I've visited many destinations personally and have extensive training on others.
• Exclusive Perks: Through my partnerships, I can often secure upgrades, amenities, and experiences not available to the public.
• Advocacy: If something goes wrong, you have someone in your corner to help resolve issues.
• 24/7 Support: Travel doesn't stop at 5 PM, and neither do I.

I love helping clients with all types of travel, but my specialties include:

• All-inclusive resort vacations (Mexico & Caribbean)
• Romance travel, honeymoons, and destination weddings
• Family vacations and multi-generational trips
• River and ocean cruises
• Adventure and exotic travel
• Group travel coordination

This is where having a travel advisor truly shines! If anything unexpected happens while you're traveling – flight delays, hotel issues, weather problems – I'm just a call or text away. I'll advocate on your behalf and work to resolve issues quickly so you can get back to enjoying your vacation.

I also strongly recommend travel insurance for every trip, which provides additional protection for unforeseen circumstances.

Yes! I can handle all aspects of your trip including flights, hotels, transfers, tours, and activities. I work to find the best combination of convenience and value for your specific needs. If you have airline miles or credit card points you'd like to use, I can help you strategize the best way to use them.

To get started, I'll need to know:

• Where you want to go (or if you need suggestions!)
• Your preferred travel dates (or flexibility)
• Number of travelers and ages
• Your approximate budget
• Any special occasions being celebrated
• Your travel style and preferences

Don't worry if you don't have all the answers yet – that's what our Discovery Call is for!

Absolutely! As a certified Sandals specialist, I have extensive experience planning destination weddings. I can help coordinate travel for all your guests, work with resort wedding planners, and ensure every detail is perfect for your special day. Start planning early – I recommend at least 12 months in advance for destination weddings.

Most trips require a deposit to secure your booking, with the final balance due before departure (typically 30-90 days prior, depending on the trip type). I accept major credit cards and can often set up payment plans to help you budget for your trip over time. All payments are processed securely.
