Planning a trip can be half the fun. But even the most seasoned traveler can benefit from having a well-connected travel advisor in their corner.

Through my industry relationships, I can often arrange special perks at hotels worldwide, including complimentary breakfast, property credits, and potential room upgrades, at no additional cost to you. I also have access to insider knowledge, trusted local contacts, and insights that aren't always easy to find online.

Beyond these benefits, I can help you make the most of your travels, from recommending just the right hotels and experiences to handling the research, reservations, and logistics. My goal is always to create a trip that reflects your interests, tastes, and travel style.

Think of it as having a knowledgeable friend in the travel world, with the connections and expertise to make a great trip even better.

Travel & Culture Salon is an affiliate of Fora Travel, which allows us to book with elite partners at competitive rates.

Our preferred partners offer VIP amenities. These vary by location, but can include perks such as:

• Room upgrade upon arrival

• Early check-in/ late check-out

• Daily breakfast for two guests per room

• $50-$100 USD hotel or resort credit

• Welcome amenity

• Cruise: onboard credit, cabin upgrades, reduced deposits, beverage packages, shore excursion discounts, dining packages, free wifi, kids sail free

As a Fora travel advisor, I have access to a powerful network of trusted partners, which means my clients enjoy VIP perks—like room upgrades, resort credits, and insider experiences you won’t find on a booking site. But more than that, I offer tailored service that reflects your travel style, whether you’re after a cultural deep dive or a relaxing escape.

Travel & Culture Salon is also shaped by my own journey: I’ve lived and studied in incredible cities like Paris, Amsterdam, San Francisco, Atlanta, and now New York. I’ve traveled across Europe and beyond—not just as a curious explorer, but as a parent navigating trains, museums, and cafés with little ones in tow. I understand the difference between a trip that looks good on paper and one that actually works for real people.

Whether you want help from the ground up or just want to elevate plans you’ve already started, I’ll bring a thoughtful, well-traveled perspective to your itinerary—and make sure the details are as enriching as the destinations.

You name it, we can do it!

Yes! I’m happy to handle all the extras that make a trip seamless and special—from airport transfers and train tickets to guided tours, cooking classes, museum reservations, and more. Whether it’s logistics or experiences, I’ve got you covered.

Yes! I can help with flight bookings, though options, pricing, and benefits vary by airline.

One important consideration is Basic Economy. Whether you book directly or through a travel advisor, these fares typically come with significant restrictions on changes, cancellations, and flexibility. They can also limit my ability to advocate on your behalf if something goes wrong, so I generally recommend considering standard Economy or higher when possible.

If you're using airline points or miles, booking directly with the airline is usually best. I'm still happy to advise on routes, timing, and which airports make the most sense for your trip.

No. Airbnb does not work with travel advisors, and I would have no channel to advocate for you if anything were to go awry or not meet quality standards. 

However, I can book private homes, condos, villas, etc. with options all over the world that are professionally managed (so no surprises!).

Yes and no. Hotels will not offer perks and VIP upgrades with points booking. What I recommend is booking your flights with points and then letting me handle the rest! 

Absolutely. When we book on your behalf, we include any applicable rewards or honors program member numbers. That way, you'll receive any perks from your existing status, as well as earn any applicable points.
