Frequently Asked Questions

Even in the age of online booking and AI, travel advisors stay up to date on everything pertaining to travel and the destination you are traveling to. A travel advisor can make sure that your trip is tailored to you, assist you in case of unexpected problems, and help you anticipate potential issues in advance. There is lots of information out there, and my job is to be a one-stop shop for keeping you in the know and sharing up to date information. 

Certain vacations and custom-designed itineraries will require a professional travel design fee. This fee reflects the time, expertise, research, planning, and personalized attention involved in creating a thoughtfully curated travel experience tailored specifically to your needs and priorities.

As a professional travel advisor, my role extends far beyond simply making reservations. From destination guidance and itinerary development to supplier coordination, personalized recommendations, and ongoing support before and during travel, each trip is designed with a high level of care and attention to detail.

Travel advisors are compensated by suppliers only after travel is completed, and travel design fees allow me to dedicate the appropriate time, expertise, and resources necessary to provide the elevated level of service and planning my clients expect.

I work with a wide range of travelers — from first-time visitors who want guidance every step of the way to experienced travelers who simply value having a trusted professional handling the details behind the scenes.

No matter how often you travel, having an experienced advisor in your corner provides an added level of confidence, support, and peace of mind throughout the process. From answering questions and offering expert recommendations to assisting if unexpected situations arise during travel, my role is to help make your experience feel as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Every client approaches travel differently, and my planning style is tailored to fit your preferences. Whether you prefer to be highly involved in the planning process or would rather have the details thoughtfully handled for you, the experience is designed around the level of support that works best for you.

I have had the honor of helping my clients with trips all over the world. Some of these destinations include:

Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, Adventures by Disney, Disneyland Paris, Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Hollywood, Sandals Resorts, Beaches Resorts, Globus Tours, AmaWaterways, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America, Oceania, Windstar Cruises,  Excellence Resorts, Secrets Resorts, Marriott Hotels, Hilton Hotels, and more.

As a top-producing travel advisor within my agency, I believe firsthand experience is one of the most valuable tools I can offer my clients. I make it a priority to personally explore many of the destinations, resorts, cruise lines, and experiences I recommend so I can provide guidance rooted in real knowledge — not just online research.

Travel is constantly evolving, and staying informed is essential to providing the elevated level of service my clients expect. Through ongoing destination training, industry education, supplier partnerships, and regular travel, I stay current on everything from resort experiences and cruise products to logistics, service standards, and the small details that can significantly impact your overall experience.

My goal is not simply to help you book a trip, but to provide thoughtful recommendations, personalized insight, and expert guidance that help your travels feel seamless, well-paced, and carefully designed around your priorities.

In addition to extensive firsthand travel experience, I am a Certified Travel Advisor through The Travel Institute, a Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) through ASTA, and an active member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA). I also attend industry conferences, trainings, and continuing education events throughout the year to ensure I continue growing as a professional advisor and staying ahead in an ever-changing industry.

When working with me, you are partnering with someone who is deeply invested in both the travel industry and in creating meaningful, personalized experiences for every client I serve.
