TRAVEL CONCIERGE

Expert Vacation Planning Without the Overwhelm

Planning a vacation shouldn't feel like a second job. Tell me where you want to go and I'll handle the rest, from finding the right villa to building a day-by-day itinerary so you can actually enjoy your time off.

Why Work With Me

Over the past 20 years, I’ve been to 46 countries (many multiple times) and stayed at every property, booked every taxi driver, and dined at every restaurant that I recommend. I've slept there, eaten there, and know what's actually worth your time and money.

I think like a traveler, not a travel agent. No affiliate agendas, no generic packages, no upselling you on things you don't need. Just honest advice from someone who genuinely loves this stuff and loves helping others.

How it Works

Every trip is different so I don't do one-size-fits-all packages. Book a free 15-minute call and tell me what you're planning. From there I'll put together a custom proposal based on exactly what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No! While I have expert knowledge of certain destinations, I can plan trips anywhere. I'll always be transparent about what I know firsthand vs. what I'm recommending based on my trusted network and research.

  • No - bookings are included in your planning package. You pay me my planning fee, then you pay vendors directly for their services (hotels, restaurants, activities).

  • Ideally 2-3 months for international trips, 4-6 weeks for domestic. Last-minute planning is possible but may limit options and availability.

  • That's what the Discovery Session is for! We can focus on just the piece you need help with - villa selection, activity recommendations, restaurant reservations, etc.

  • I can provide flight recommendations and routing advice, but you'll book flights yourself. Exception: for Full Trip Planning, I'm happy to walk you through the booking process on our call.
