Types of trips I plan
While every itinerary is custom, my work most often focuses on trips where pacing, logistics, and overall flow matter as much as the destination itself.


  • Cruises with thoughtfully planned land experiences
    Pre- and post-cruise stays, transportation, and pacing designed so the full trip feels cohesive—not rushed or fragmented. 

  • International travel, especially Europe and the UK
    Multi-stop itineraries designed to balance logistics with time to actually experience each place, without trying to do too much. 

  • North American road trips and nature-forward travel
    Routes shaped around scenery, comfort, and realistic drive times, rather than checking off as many stops as possible. 

  • Milestone and once-in-a-lifetime trips
    Anniversaries, special celebrations, or long-anticipated trips where getting the details right—and the pacing right—really matters. 


Many trips blend multiple styles—active days, cultural exploration, meaningful downtime—shaped around how you want the experience to feel.  


What my services include

Depending on the trip, services may include:


  • Itinerary design and pacing

  • Hotel, cruise, and transportation coordination

  • Managing logistics across multiple locations or partners

  • Confirming details, special requests, and timing

  • Clear communication before travel

  • Ongoing support while you’re away


Not every trip needs everything, but every trip gets the level of attention it requires.

Planning fees and transparency

Some trips involve straightforward bookings. Others require research, coordination, and hands-on planning.


For trips that involve custom itineraries, multiple destinations, or added land arrangements, a planning fee applies. Fees typically start at $149 and are always discussed upfront, before any work begins.


Travel suppliers such as hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators also compensate travel advisors for confirmed bookings. Planning fees are used when a trip requires additional time and expertise beyond booking, ensuring your trip is thoughtfully designed and fully supported.

Is this the right fit?

This approach works best for travelers who:


  • Want to be involved, but don’t want to manage every detail

  • Value thoughtful pacing and realistic plans

  • Appreciate having a knowledgeable point of contact before and during travel

  • See planning as a collaborative process, not a transaction


If this sounds like you, we’ll likely work well together.
