As a FORA Advisor, I can create trips from scratch, do the research for new places, help you book a hotel you’ve already decided on, and everything in between. I’ll unlock perks and VIP amenities at hotels, resorts, and cruises. I will support you throughout the entire process, from the brainstorming phase, to after you return.

The commission I earn is already included in the price you pay, whether you book with an agent or not. So by booking directly elsewhere, you're essentially paying for a service you’re not receiving!

What I do NOT get paid for is spending time researching and planning your perfect holiday.

I do not earn an hourly wage. I only get paid commission when we book your trip—and that’s only after you return. So that Maldives getaway, family cruise, or all-inclusive resort stay you book on your own? I could have arranged it for the same (or better!!) price while supporting my new small business at no extra cost to you.

Booking with a travel agent is a win-win. Plus, I'm here for you every step of the way, whenever you need assistance. My phone is literally with me at all times so you can contact me and not a faceless person at a call center. ✈️

A planning fee may be appropriate if you have an extensive or complicated trip requiring research.

This will always be transparently presented upfront!

Just like any professional service, a travel advisor’s time, expertise, and attention to detail have real value. A planning fee helps ensure you receive the highest level of personalized service—and here’s exactly how that fee is used:

🔍 Time-Intensive Research & Curation
Behind every custom itinerary is hours of destination research, hotel comparisons, activity vetting, and logistics planning—all tailored specifically to your travel style, budget, and interests.

📋 Itinerary Building & Organization
I create detailed, well-structured travel plans that take the guesswork out of your trip. From transfers to tours to dinner recommendations, your experience is seamless from start to finish.

🤝 Access to Exclusive Perks & Suppliers
Your planning fee supports access to top-tier supplier networks and professional booking systems that often unlock perks not available to the general public—like upgrades, credits, and VIP access.

🛟 Pre-, During-, and Post-Trip Support
I don’t disappear after you book. I’m available before, during, and after your trip to handle changes, unexpected issues, or last-minute questions—giving you peace of mind every step of the way.

💼 Professionalism & Commitment
The fee ensures a mutual commitment and allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to delivering exceptional service and results.

If you are not ready to book travel, but would like some help in researching what is available, new destinations, or just want to see what is out there? Let me help!

For a small research fee, I dedicate time to researching and curating the perfect itinerary based on your preferences, budget, and travel style.

This fee ensures I can focus fully on delivering high-quality, unbiased recommendations, custom research, and exclusive options tailored to you. Once the fee is received, I’ll begin designing a travel experience that’s seamless, special, and stress-free.

When you book at a future date with utilizing the research, a planning fee is NOT charged!

When booking your trips through me, you will benefit from the partnerships Fora has with more than 8,200 hotels and travel providers around the world! Including Virtuoso, Four Seasons, Rosewood Belmond, and beyond. Say hello to room upgrades, complimentary breakfasts, resort credits, and top-tier treatment.

I will start by getting to know you and your travel preferences / budget / ideas by connecting either by phone or email - your preference! Then we will collaborate as we research and plan your dream trip! I will regularly check in throughout the process, and support you during and after!

The more I know, the more I can personalize recommendations. Let me know your vibe, what worked and what did not work - for past experiences.

Budget is a key factor; transparency about your expectations will be helpful.

Also share any details about your travel companions; any accessibility needs or diet restrictions. Are we celebration an occasion? 🥳

To ensure I can provide the highest level of service and value, I specialize in full-service travel planning—including custom itineraries, tours, cruises, and vacations where I can personally enhance your experience.

At this time, I do not book flight-only travel or hotel stays using credit card, hotel, or airline loyalty points; Airline delays and cancellations are common and you may need to deal directly with the airlines. Hotel bookings with loyalty points should also be made directly with the hotel.

If you're looking for help with a more comprehensive trip—or would like expert guidance on destinations, experiences, or accommodations—I’d be happy to assist!

1. Have a plan – or at least a continent – in mind.

2. Not sure what you want? Think about past trips

3. Try stepping outside your comfort zone

4. Let me know your restrictions early

5. Be upfront about your budget

6. Think of me as a long-term travel relationship
