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 travel advisor is a good idea.
When you plan and book with me, my goal is to ensure you have the best experience possible — starting with the planning. Plus, you’ll gain access to insider knowledge and recommendations. Whether you want a hotel for your staycation or a weeks-long customized itinerary, learn how I can help make the planning process actually enjoyable and your trip unforgettable.
Reason 1: Save time

Don't waste time going down a travel rabbit hole. That's hours of time and energy you could have spent elsewhere. And 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. No need to sift through top-10 lists and social media posts to find properties you like. It's my job to pair you with the ideal hotel for your travel occasion.
I'll 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 about flights, insurance and rental cars, too).
Reason 2: Tailored trip planning

Delivering excellent service is based on relationships. I take the time to understand you, your travel style and what you're after. I take travel personally, and tailor your trip accordingly. I'll unlock experiences you wouldn't have known of otherwise.
Thanks to Fora’s extensive partner network, you'll also be treated like a VIP at our over 300,000 partner properties. Fora's industry relationships ensure you’ll have the best experience possible in your destination, whether you’re on a weekend getaway or two-week vacation. Communicate any allergies, special amenities or celebrations, so I can provide that extra layer of service to make your stay exceptional.
Reason 3: Save money

With Fora's internal booking platform, I have visibility into the range of perks and rates available at hotels, cruises, tour companies and other travel partners around the world. I also see exclusive promotions and timely offers you won't be able to find elsewhere.
I transparently share rates, including taxes and fees, upfront. Popular online booking sites often hide these extra fees, which only become apparent upon check-out. When you book with me, you'll get a comprehensive breakdown of a trip's price before you even book, ensuring you know exactly where your dollars are going.
Reason 4: Insider knowledge

I also draw from personal experiences in both travel and other fields to give you a more well-rounded, informed service. Even better, I can leverage the collective knowledge of the entire Fora community, allowing more comprehensive and personalized insights than traditional agents or online resources. In-depth certifications and expert-led, ongoing training also help me offer you the best recommendations. I'll handle any trip request.
Reason 5: Peace of mind

I am a travel curator. I am also your advocate. If something goes wrong — delays, cancellations, bad weather — I'm ready to get your trip back on track, and quickly. No need to stress about potential snafus. But I also make sure things go right. If you're celebrating something, or want to surprise a partner with a special experience, or arrange something out of the ordinary, I will make it happen. Peace of mind comes from knowing the details are taken care of.
