    Discovering a new destination, whether near or far, is exciting. But the planning to get there can be overwhelming, which is why connecting with a professional advisor (like me!) is a good idea. 

    When you plan and book with me, you’re working with someone whose goal is to ensure you have the best experience possible — starting with the planning. Plus, you’ll gain access to a treasure trove of insider knowledge and recommendations — not only from me, but from Fora's global network of partners and travel experts.

    So whether you want a hotel for your staycation or a weeks-long customized itinerary, connect with me to learn how I can help make the planning process actually enjoyable and your trip unforgettable.

    Reason 1: Expert research & planning before your hotel stay or trip

    When it comes to travel planning, the heavy lifting should be done way before you leave — that’s where I come in. Whether it’s just booking a hotel or creating a customized itinerary, I can help.

    For hotel stays, I’ll research the best options for you, based on location, rates and your style. This means you don’t need to sift through top 10 lists and social media posts to find properties you like. As a travel advisor, it’s my job to pair you with the ideal hotel for your travel occasion. (And by booking with me, you’ll get access to VIP perks.) 

    If you’re planning more than just a hotel stay, I’ll put all my resources to work for you. We will talk about your wish list, and I can answer your questions about when to travel, where to stay and what to do, plus what to expect when you get there. Creating whole itineraries is one of my specialties and can include everything from hotels to curated activities and experiences (ask me about flights, insurance and rental cars, too).

    Reason 2: Partner perks & in-destination connections during your stay

    Thanks to Fora’s extensive partner network, when you book with me, you’ll lock in perks at 5,500+ hotels worldwide, including at partner properties like Rosewood, Belmond, Rocco Forte and more. These perks include amenities like resort and spa credits, extended check-in/out, complimentary breakfast and airport transfers.

    In addition to perks, you will be treated like a VIP at our partner properties. Our industry relationships ensure you’ll have the best experience possible in your destination, whether you’re on a quick weekend getaway or a two-week vacation. I work directly with the hotel’s management team, making sure to pass along any requests from your group. Allergies, special amenities or celebrations require special attention, so I can provide that extra layer of service to make sure your stay is comfortable. 

    And if you need to make a change or something goes awry when traveling, I'm your advocate to problem-solve on your behalf.

    Reason 3: Personal relationship & supporting a small business

    Delivering excellent service is based on relationships, not only with our hotel partners but with clients. I became a Fora Advisor because planning trips is in my DNA, and part of loving travel is wanting to create memorable experiences for other people. 

    When you work with me, not only are you getting expert planning, VIP perks and high-touch service, you’re also supporting my small business. My role as a travel entrepreneur is based on interacting with clients like you and supplying the best intel and services possible, so you can experience the wonder of travel.
