Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do you do?
I make your travel as seamless as possible. I take the time to learn your preferences and narrow down your destination and accommodation options to find the best fit for you. My motto and tagline is: Tailored Escapes. Simplified! My mission is to make your trip tailored to your desires, vacation style and budget!
Do you charge a fee?
I do not charge fees for hotel bookings. Hotels have always had commissions built into the price listed on their website and my commission from those bookings come directly from the hotel provider.
For a personalized daily/weekly itinerary design, I charge between $100-$450 dependent on the numbers of days planned. This service includes discussing if multiple cities will be visited, accommodation preferences, airport transfers, transportation details and rentals, tours and activities that are uniquely researched and chosen to fit your travel style and even dinner reservations if you so choose.
Can I earn my hotel rewards points if I book through you?
YES indeed! I will build a client profile with your preferences and will request all your rewards numbers for future bookings. Those rewards numbers will be connected to your reservation(s) so you won’t miss out on any of those points!
Can you book our accommodations and use my rewards points to pay?
Unfortunately no I cannot do that BUT I encourage you to reach out to me for planning the rest of your trip. Excursions, car services, guides and tours.

I can book all types of travel from European food & wine focused vacations to rainforest adventures, tropical relaxing beach getaways, multi-country travels, family vacations, cruises, theme parks, honeymoons, multi-generational trips, spring break, summer trips, chartered sailing trips—if you love being out on the water you must, at least once, take a chartered sailing trip!
