FAQs
Are hotel booking services really free?
Yes! Travel Agents receive commissions from the hotels and resorts to help continue to push more clients to their locations.
The initial consult will include a list of 3-4 recommended hotels. I will allow one revision on hotels after that. If after that you still feel you need more, I will recommend upgrading to the next level of planning so that I can better serve you with my time.
I will do the research to make sure the place is just what you are looking for and make sure to you get VIP status like early check-in, late check out, free breakfast, or spa credits.
How does it all work?
You submit a Client Intake Form so that I can better get to know what you are looking for, we can also set up a phone call or video chat if you prefer. From there, you can decide on, or I can help steer you towards ,which level of service will best suit your needs. If you just need hotels, I will begin working on creating a list of 3-4 hotel options right away.
If you want more than hotels, for example, you would like an Itinerary with suggestions on activities and restaurants I will charge a fee.
If you want me to also book reservations for those activities and restaurants the fee will increase.

Do you do group travel?
Absolutely!! I love to help plan a great bachelorette or girls trip. Bachelor trips, multi-gen vacations, whatever your heart desires. Inquire about minimum budget requirements per person for a group trip.
Due to the amount of time a group trip plan takes, I ask that you have your guest count firm before I begin to plan.
How do I pay for the hotels, extra bookings and your travel packages?
When paying fees for my packages, my agency, Fora, will create a secure payment link for you to make your payment.
For hotels, activities, dinner reservations etc. I will send you a secure link to provide your credit card information. This information is kept securely in the Vault, and when I am booking your itinerary, I will access it from the secure vault. No paper, no emailing or saying your credit card information over the phone.
What about Airbnb, VRBO etc?
Unfortunately, I do not book Airbnb or VRBO. These sites do not allow me to give you the type of travel experience that I want to offer my clients. Too many times there are issues with the home, and no one around to help!
I do however have extensive access to well vetted rental homes and villas that I can recommend for you. They are professionally vetted and you will have a team at location should any issues arise. Many of these homes and villas include extra services, like concierge, housekeeping, help with grocery shopping, the option for chefs and much more!
If you already have an Airbnb, VRBO or rental I am happy to help you with itinerary planning at location.
Do you book holiday getaways?
Yes! This is called Festive season. Typically there are blackout dates, minimum nights, often extra fees for Christmas or New Years meals. You need to book EARLY!! I'm talking OVER 6 months in advance to get the options that you really want, so please reach out as soon as you know you want to travel over the holidays.
