Frequently Asked Questions

What types of travel do you specialize in?

I specialize in cruises, escorted land tours, all-inclusive resorts, group travel, and custom vacation planning. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, a milestone celebration, or a thoughtfully planned international journey, I help match you with the right experience for your travel style.

Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online?

Working with a travel advisor means you have an expert advocating for you every step of the way. I handle the research, details, and logistics—saving you time and reducing stress—while offering personalized recommendations, added value, and support before, during, and after your trip.

Does it cost extra to use your services?

I do not charge planning fees for most vacations I arrange, as I’m compensated by my travel partners. For air-only bookings, a service charge applies due to the time and expertise involved in researching fares and managing ticketing. Any applicable charges are always discussed upfront, so there are no surprises.

Do you only book cruises?

Not at all. While cruises are a specialty, I also plan escorted land tours, all-inclusive vacations, rail journeys, family travel, group travel and custom itineraries. If it involves travel, I’m happy to help—or guide you in the right direction.

Can you help with group travel?

Yes! I plan and host group trips throughout the year, as well as custom group travel for families, friends, and special occasions. Group travel offers added value, shared experiences, and expert planning—all with the flexibility to enjoy time on your own.

Do I have to know other travelers to join a group trip?

Not at all. Many travelers join group trips on their own and enjoy meeting like-minded people along the way. Group trips are designed to feel welcoming, comfortable, and social—without any pressure.

How far in advance should I start planning?

The earlier, the better—especially for cruises, group trips, and international travel. Planning ahead allows for better availability, pricing, and itinerary options. That said, I’m always happy to help with last-minute trips when possible.

Can you help with special requests or unique travel needs?

Absolutely. Whether it’s accessibility considerations, dietary needs, special celebrations, or travel preferences, I work closely with my partners to ensure your trip is planned with care and attention to detail.

What happens after I submit a travel inquiry?

Once you submit the inquiry form, I’ll review your information and reach out to discuss your travel goals, preferences, and next steps. From there, I’ll begin crafting travel options tailored specifically to you.

Do you work with a host agency?

Yes. I’m an independent travel advisor affiliated with a professional host agency, which provides industry accreditation, supplier relationships, and support. This allows me to offer trusted expertise while delivering highly personalized service.

How do I get started?
