Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use a travel advisor?

Instead of spending hours researching destinations, hotels, and experiences, I curate an itinerary based on your preferences, interests, and budget. I tap into expert recommendations, exclusive insights from my network of fellow Fora advisors, and my own vetted travel experiences to create something meaningful and stress-free.

Think: hours of my time, for minutes of yours.

Can you save me money?

Yes! I have access to exclusive rates, upgrades, and perks you won’t find online. That means no more guesswork, wasted time, or wondering if you chose the right hotel. You’ll get added value, often at the same price or less than booking on your own.

What exactly do you do?

That depends on your needs! I can:

  • Recommend and book hotels or cruises

  • Secure transportation, activities, and dining experiences

  • Curate personalized itineraries based on your travel style

  • Handle logistics for complex trips or simple weekend getaways

Whether it’s a quick escape or a month-long European adventure, I’m here to simplify the process and make your trip feel effortless.

How Much Does It Cost to Work With a Travel Advisor?

Great news: in most cases, my services are complimentary to you.

Here’s how it works:
I’m compensated by hotels and cruise lines when you book through me—at no extra cost to you. If you book directly, that commission simply goes to the hotel or cruise line as part of their profit.

What’s Included for Free?

If you already know which hotel or cruise you’d like to book, I’ll take care of the reservation details at no cost. You’ll still receive my expert support, access to exclusive perks, and personalized recommendations.

When Is There a Planning Fee?

For clients looking for more in-depth travel design, I offer customized planning services:

  • $200 flat planning fee for new clients who want a curated hotel look-book or personalized itinerary

  • $25 per travel day if you'd like me to book your day-to-day experiences and excursions

This fee covers the time and care I put into crafting a trip that’s tailored just for you.

Returning Clients

If we’ve worked together before—thank you! Ongoing trip planning and bookings are complimentary as part of my continued client care.

Do you only book luxury travel?

Not at all. While I love a great hotel, I plan trips for a range of budgets and styles, whether you’re after boutique charm, family-friendly stays, or a luxury escape. My goal is to match you with the right experience, not just the most expensive one.

Can you help with last-minute travel?

Yes, I can often help with last-minute hotel bookings or short-notice planning, especially if you’re flexible. Reach out, and I’ll let you know what’s possible!

Do you book flights?

Generally, I do not book flights directly. However, I can provide flight recommendations or coordinate your itinerary around your flights for a smoother travel experience.

What destinations do you specialize in?

I specialize in thoughtfully curated travel across the U.S. and Europe. Whether you're dreaming of a California road trip, a Parisian getaway, or a wine-country escape, I’ll help you make it happen.
