FAQs
Will my vacation cost more by booking with you?
1
No, it will not. My goal is to maximize both your time and your investment through thoughtful, strategic planning. For full-service custom itineraries, I do charge a planning fee. This reflects the time, expertise, and care that go into designing a truly personalized trip.
Start by filling out the travel inquiry form. From there, I'll reach out to schedule a discovery call to talk through your ideas and make sure we're a good fit.

What’s the first step?
How far in advance should I reach out?
3
It truly depends on the trip! Most trips are best planned 8-12 months in advance, while bucket-list cruises and African safaris usually require more lead time. That said, I've planned many custom trips on much shorter timelines, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
Can I work with you if I already started planning?
4
Absolutely. No matter where you are in the planning process, I'm happy to help. I'll handle the logistics, fine-tune the details, and coordinate everything behind the scenes so you can relax and simply pack your bags.
