Specialities

As a travel advisor, I handle all the planning and logistics, leveraging our community’s expert travel insights and personal relationships with hotel general managers to enhance your vacation. I’ll find accommodations that match your preferences and ensure you receive VIP perks as our client.

While credit card portals offer perks, booking through a travel advisor provides distinct advantages.
Loyalty Points: We book directly with hotels, ensuring you earn loyalty points, whereas credit card bookings are often considered third-party reservations.
Priority Upgrades: Hotels prioritize upgrades for clients who book through their direct programs (like ours) over credit card programs.
Enhanced Benefits: Some hotels offer superior benefits when booked through an agency; for example, certain hotel groups provide room service breakfast exclusively for agency bookings.
Personalized Service: We collaborate directly with hotels to customize your stay, ensuring you’re more than just a reservation number.

Absolutely! Whether you prefer to plan every detail or need assistance with specific aspects, we’re here to help. If you have particular hotels and dates in mind, we can manage the booking and let you handle the rest.

Generally, our rates align with the best available rates when booking directly. While some non-refundable or advance purchase rates might be lower, the value of our elite perks often outweighs any price difference. We do not charge booking fees for hotels; instead, hotels compensate us for bringing them clients.

For hotel bookings, I do not charge a booking fee—hotels compensate me for bringing them clients, and you still receive the best available rate along with exclusive perks.

For trip planning, I charge a fee based on the complexity of the request and the time required to curate the best experience for you. This includes crafting custom itineraries, researching multi-destination trips, arranging private tours, securing dining reservations, and other concierge-level services. My time has value, and this fee ensures that I can dedicate the necessary resources to plan a seamless and exceptional trip tailored to your needs.

If you are unsure whether your request will incur a planning fee, feel free to reach out—I am happy to discuss and provide transparency upfront.
