What does it cost?

Using a Travel Advisor adds value to your experience that booking direct with an online booking site can't. You get true personal service, and I am with you every step of your journey. I listen to you, research, and craft an itinerary that is right for you. 

Because I value your time and mine, a 30-minute consultation call with me is always complimentary. My price structure is then as follows:

• The 30-minute consultation and discovery call is always complimentary. 
• Booking on Virgin Voyages, Celebrity, AmaWaterways, or Viking through The Travel Planning Team: No Fee 
• Booking a Travel Planning Team coordinated group trip: No fee.
• Advising fee for all other travel: $150 - due before proposals are presented. 

If you book travel and complete travel with me that exceeds $10,000, the $150 advising fee will be applied to your travel. If the travel is cancelled for any reason, the fee is non-refundable.

I can't beat online booking sites, but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for" so if you are looking for a bargain, you will definitely find them online. Costco is great for saving money, but what you won't get is a dedicated travel advisor with my experience, expertise, and a real person to call when your flight is cancelled or your driver doesn't show up. When you are ready to plan an extraordinary experience, and not just a trip - I am here for you.

Sometimes we think of luxuries as something that only the very wealthy have access to. Or a certain type of ticket class, ship or hotel. Honestly, if you asked a hundred people what luxury is, you’d get a hundred different answers. But almost any definition has one throughline: service.

Luxury is someone else taking care of details and preventing problems. It’s knowing there’s an expert out there who can and will be your advocate. And it’s a feeling that is sometimes difficult to put into words: being remembered, looked after, important.
