• Hotel, cruise, and many tour rates already include commission whether you book directly, through an online site, or through me. When I handle those bookings, that commission supports the time and expertise I invest, so there’s no added cost to you.

    For trips requiring deeper customization, a planning fee applies in line with industry standards to help compensate for the added time spent to ensure every detail is thoughtfully designed.

  • While I often have access to preferred or negotiated rates, the true value goes beyond price. I save you time, reduce stress, and elevate your stay with perks like breakfast, hotel credits, and VIP touches. Most of the time, the price is the same as booking directly, and if it’s slightly higher, the added benefits more than make up for it. I can usually match any rate you’ve found on the hotel’s site.

  • Booking is easy, but I elevate the experience with perks and thoughtful touches you usually can’t get on your own. From VIP hotel upgrades and credits to cruise promotions and onboard extras, I make your trip seamless, personal, and quietly elevated—plus, I’m your advocate if any issues arise.

  • Yes! Just make sure you provide your loyalty number when initiating a booking.

  • No worries! If it was in the last 30-60 days I might be able to do a “takeover booking,” which means I’ll be added as the agent of record and you get the added perks. No extra money out of your pocket, just the perks added to the reservation - win win! The sooner you reach out, the better.

  • I work with clients in the evenings and on weekends for consultations, quotes, and trip design. That’s when you’ll hear back from me and when I can usually dedicate my full attention.

  • I can arrange flights of all classes as part of a cruise package. If booked separately, I can secure premium economy, business, and first-class international tickets, as well as private jets, with 24/7 support from the Fora Travel in-house flight desk. A $50 per person ticketing fee applies when booking separately.

  • While vacation rentals can be a great option, I don’t book them because I can’t guarantee the quality or influence the service—they’re agreements directly between the guest and the property owner. Focusing on hotels and resorts allows me to provide the highest level of support, ensuring a seamless, elevated experience throughout your trip.

  • I highly recommend travel insurance to protect your investment. It only takes one unexpected delay, cancellation, or emergency with you, traveling companion, or a loved one to throw off even a well-planned trip. Having coverage gives you peace of mind so you can fully enjoy your journey without worry. I can quickly provide a complimentary quote, even if you don’t book anything else through me.
