Wondering what it’s like to work with a Travel Advisor?

Here’s everything you need to know before we start planning your next unforgettable journey.

  • Think of an advisor as more than just a travel agent—it’s
    a role that’s all about personalized service and attention
    to detail. I take the time to understand your preferences,
    then craft destination and accommodation options that
    truly match your needs. My goal is to make sure your
    next trip is tailored to your taste, style, and budget,
    creating an experience that feels uniquely yours.

  • I’m here to save you valuable time and energy by
    handling all the research on destinations, hotels, and
    activities—so you can focus on the excitement of your
    trip.

    As for savings, I’ll unlock exclusive perks that aren’t
    available to the general public, like VIP amenities, resort
    credits, upgrades, and more—all while securing the best
    available rate you’d get if booking directly.

    Plus, I’ll be your personal connection to the hotel or
    resort’s management team, ensuring you’re treated like
    a VIP every step of the way.

  • It’s great to hear you love planning your own vacations! I
    know how time-consuming it can be—that’s where I
    come in to make things easier. Once you’ve chosen your
    destination and accommodations, reach out, and I’ll take
    care of the bookings. I’ll also elevate your trip with
    exclusive perks and benefits that are often only available
    through my network. Let’s create something
    unforgettable together!

  • These are the perks I can offer you as a result of my
    affiliations with Fora, and their extensive partnership
    with some of the top hotels and resorts worldwide. Often
    they include:

    • Complimentary breakfast for 2

    • Room upgrade

    • Early check-in / late check-out

    • Welcome amenity (fresh fruit, drinks on arrival, bottle
      of wine or local treat)

    • Spa or dining credit

    For cruises, the perks often include:

    • Onboard credit

    • Complimentary specialty dining

  • When you book a hotel, resort, or cruise through a travel
    advisor, our partners pay us a commission, so there’s no
    extra cost to you. This is how travel advisors make
    money, allowing us to focus fully on crafting the best
    experience for you. Planning fees cover the dedicated
    time we spend researching and planning every detail of
    your trip, including activities and experiences that may
    not be commissionable but are handpicked to suit your
    needs perfectly.

  • That depends on the hotel or operator. Most hotels will
    require a credit card to hold your reservation, and some
    may ask for a deposit. Before I secure any bookings, I’ll
    always keep you informed about payment terms and
    cancellation policies, so there are no surprises.

    Planning fees are charged before any work is done, after
    you have selected your service package.
