Question 1

How do you get paid?

Accepted Answer

I'm compensated by the hotels, resorts, cruise lines, and travel partners I book through. An agent fee is built into the pricing whether you have one or not. The difference is when you book direct, that fee stays with the resort and you receive nothing extra in return. When you book through me, it comes back to you as upgrades, resort credits, priority treatment, and a seamlessly managed experience.

Question 2

Does booking through you cost more?

Accepted Answer

No. The price you pay is comparable to booking directly. What changes is everything waiting for you when you arrive — upgrades, resort credits, welcome amenities, and the kind of treatment that turns a good trip into an unforgettable one.

Question 3

What's the difference between booking through you vs. booking online myself?

Accepted Answer

Booking online gets you a confirmation number. Booking through me gets you an advocate. I handle every detail and every conversation with the property so that by the time you arrive, you're not just expected — you're taken care of.

Question 4

What kind of trips do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

All-inclusive escapes, cruises, romantic getaways, solo travel, group adventures, ski and snowboard trips, athletic events and marathons, birthdays, anniversaries, bachelorettes, weddings, and honeymoons. If it matters to you, it matters to me.

Question 5

When do you charge a planning fee?

Accepted Answer

Most bookings come at no planning cost to you. A flat fee applies only when a trip requires deeply complex research, is culturally immersive, and is off the beaten path. These itineraries are built entirely around your vision. Any fee is always disclosed and agreed upon before planning starts.

Question 6

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

For popular Caribbean resorts and cruises, 3 to 6 months is the sweet spot. For peak seasons like summer and holidays, 6 to 12 months gives you the best selection and pricing. Whatever your timeline, reach out and we'll work with what we have.

Question 7

What if I need to cancel or change my trip?

Accepted Answer

Every booking comes with its own cancellation and modification policy set by the supplier. I walk you through those details before you commit so nothing catches you off guard. Travel protection is always worth considering and I'll help you understand your options before you decide.

Question 8

How do I communicate with you throughout the process?

Accepted Answer

Once we connect, I'll work around your preferred communication style — email, text, or phone. You'll have direct access to me from first inquiry through your travel dates, and I stay reachable if anything comes up while you're on the ground.

Question 9

Which destinations are you most familiar with?

Accepted Answer

Mainland Japan · Okinawa · Saint Martin & Sint Maarten · Anguilla · Puerto Rico · Dominican Republic · St. Lucia · Mexico · Belize · Portugal · Spain · France · Switzerland · Scotland · Washington DC · Charlotte · Outer Banks · Coastal North Carolina · North Carolina Mountains · New Orleans · Houston · Austin · Dallas · Las Vegas · Phoenix · Los Angeles · Malibu · San Diego

Don't see your destination? I research, advocate, and plan with the same level of care wherever you want to go. Just ask.

Question 10

What does the booking process look like start to finish?

Accepted Answer

It starts with a short intake form to understand your vision, travel style, and budget. From there I curate options, you choose what feels right, and I handle everything through final confirmation. I check in as your trip approaches and stay available throughout. All you have to do is show up.
