These are the services I offer to help you plan a trip that feels truly your own. From thoughtfully crafted itineraries to booking trusted hotel partners or insider recommendations, every element is tailored to your travel style and priorities.
Complimentary Hotel Booking
Need help finding the best hotel or resort for your next vacation? Based on your needs, I will quote three options that are the best fit and handle all the booking details – including Virtuoso and Preferred Partner perks when available. Or, you can browse and reserve directly through my hotel booking link and still receive the same awesome perks, where applicable.

I can help you find the sailing that feels like the right match. I’ll curate and quote up to three ships or itineraries based on your travel style, timing, and preferences, and then handle the booking on your behalf. When available, I’ll also secure partner perks or added amenities to enhance your experience.

Custom Itinerary Planning
My custom trip planning service takes your travel style and priorities and turns them into a personalized, well-designed itinerary. I handle the research, trusted hotel and activity recommendations, and all key bookings, so you end up with a seamless trip that feels tailored, intentional, and easy from start to finish. Learn about my planning process. Because every itinerary is unique, I’ll confirm the exact fee after our initial consultation.

Travel Consulting
If you prefer to book your own travel or use points and miles but still want expert guidance, I’ll help you narrow down destinations, timing, routing, and hotel or experience options, so you can move forward with confidence and a solid plan—without having to sort through all the guesswork on your own.

Most custom itineraries I plan include 4- and 5-star hotels, private tours, and premium transportation, with trip budgets typically ranging from $1,500–3,000 per day (excluding flights).
My Travel Specialties
- Family travel – I’ve traveled extensively with my now 21-year old daughter and even serve on the board of the Family Travel Association so I fully understand how to craft a delightful family trip;
- Culinary journeys – I’m a foodie married to a wine aficionado and I love to craft food and wine travel itineraries to destinations such as the south of France, Piemonte or Tuscany in Italy, Croatia, Greece, and even Chile!
- Cultural immersion trips such as Japan and Morocco with experiences that connect you with the local culture;
- Romantic getaways (both domestic and international) that provide the time and space to reconnect in a beautiful setting;
- Girls’ trips including reunions, wellness, wine tasting, and more;
- River cruises and small ship or expedition cruising that provides the convenience of cruising without the crowds.
Destination Expertise
- European vacations including Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Turkey, and more;
- Luxury Caribbean beach vacations (Turks & Caicos is my favorite but I have experience with over a dozen islands);
- Domestic travel and road trips (especially New England);
- Adventure travel destinations including Iceland, Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and more.
If you are looking for a destination beyond this list, I can tap my extensive network of trusted partners and knowledgeable colleagues. I haven’t been everywhere — but I’m working on it!
