Travel Planning Services

CUSTOM TRIPS, SEAMLESS DETAILS

Hotel

For when you just want the right place to stay—and nothing else.

You tell me the vibe, the budget, and the location.
I send you options that are actually worth your time.

Includes:

  • Curated hotel recommendations (not a 40-link dump)

  • Access to preferred partner perks when available:

    • Complimentary breakfast

    • Room upgrades

    • Early check-in / late check-out

    • Resort or property credits

  • Booking management and communication with the property

Investment: Complimentary (commission-based)

Good fit if: You’ve got the trip mostly handled but want to stay somewhere exceptional.

Cruise Planning

For when you want the right ship, itinerary, and cabin—and not a regret halfway through the trip.

Cruises are not one-size-fits-all. The line, ship, itinerary, perks, and even your cabin location all matter more than most people realize.

Includes:

  • Curated cruise line and itinerary recommendations based on your travel style

  • Ship and cabin selection guidance (this matters more than you think)

  • Access to preferred partner perks and amenities when available

  • Booking management and coordination with the cruise line

  • Pre- and post-cruise hotel/trip recommendations (if needed)

Investment: Complimentary (commission-based)

Good fit if: You want a cruise that matches your expectations—not one you spend the week adjusting to.


Custom Travel Design

This is where it gets good.

This is the service most clients choose—and for good reason.
Every piece of your trip is designed to work together, not compete for your attention.

Includes:

  • Fully customized, day-by-day itinerary

  • Accommodation sourcing and booking

  • Transportation planning (flights, trains, transfers)

  • Dining, tours, and experience curation

  • Reservation management

  • Multiple revisions as we refine things

  • Detailed digital itinerary with everything in one place

Investment: $500–$750+ per trip (based on scope and complexity)

Good fit if: You want a trip that is seamless, elevated, and actually thought through.

Essentials Planning

For when you want structure—but not micromanagement.

You know where you’re going. You just want it to make sense.

Includes:

  • Destination guidance and itinerary framework

  • Hotel + transportation recommendations

  • 1–2 curated dining or activity suggestions per day

  • One round of revisions

  • Clean, organized final itinerary

Investment: $200–$500 per trip

Good fit if: You want direction, not a fully engineered experience.



Concierge/VIP Planning

White-glove. High-touch. Zero stress.

This is for clients who want access, responsiveness, and someone paying attention while they travel—not just before.

Includes:

  • Everything in Custom Travel Design

  • Priority response times

  • Restaurant reservations and hard-to-get bookings

  • Real-time adjustments while traveling

  • Direct access to me during your trip

  • Proactive monitoring (delays, weather, disruptions)

Investment: Starting at $750+ (custom quoted)

Good fit if: You want someone quietly handling everything behind the scenes.

Group Trips

Because someone always ends up doing all the work—and it really doesn’t have to be you.

Group trips sound fun until they turn into 42 text threads, 6 opinions on hotels, and no actual decisions. I take that off your plate.

I manage the logistics, streamline communication, and design a trip that works for the group without losing the experience for the individual.

Includes:

  • Centralized planning for the entire group

  • Destination, routing, and accommodation strategy

  • Room block coordination (when applicable)

  • Transportation planning (flights, transfers, drivers)

  • Curated group-friendly dining and experiences

  • One primary group contact to simplify communication

  • Clear, shared itinerary for all travelers

  • Optional individual add-ons (pre/post stays, upgrades)

Investment: $100–$250 per person or custom flat fee based on group size and complexity

Good fit if:

  • You’re traveling with 4+ people

  • You don’t want to be the default planner

  • You want the trip to feel cohesive—not chaotic



Themed or Interest-Based Trips

I also design group travel around shared interests—think:

  • Food & wine trips

  • Knitting / maker travel

  • Milestone birthdays/anniversaries

  • Friends trips with actual structure

If you have an idea, I can build a trip around it.

Investment: $100–$250 per person or Custom flat fee based on group size and complexity


Planning fees are non-refundable and vary based on trip scope, complexity, and level of service. Final pricing is confirmed after a complimentary scheduled discovery call.
