Our Services

HOTEL and CRUISE BOOKINGS

Already know where you're headed—or that you'd like to cruise—but want help finding the best hotel or sailing? I’ll match you with standout options that fit your travel style and preferences, often with exclusive perks like upgrades, daily breakfast, and resort or shipboard credit included. Once you’ve picked your favorite, I’ll handle the booking and details.
Cost:
Complimentary (I’m paid by the hotel or cruise line, at no extra cost to you—ever!)
DESTINATIONS and HOTELS

In this instance, you know the type of vacation you want—maybe a beach escape, a cultural getaway, or a wellness retreat—but you're not sure where to go. I’ll help you narrow down the right destinations, then present 2–3 curated hotel/resort options in each one. From there, you simply choose your favorites, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Cost:
$150
FULL-SERVICE ITINERARY

This is where the magic really happens! Hand over the reins and we will curate an entire itinerary customized to your unique needs. We will book hotels, but also propose and book transfers, amazing activities, and excursions. We’re talking un-Googleable experiences. The kind of stuff you can only pull off with awesome local partners. All you have to do is show up at the airport and enjoy!
Cost:
Starting at $250, with final pricing depending on trip complexity
