What to Expect When We Work Together
-
I'm a member of Virtuoso — an invitation-only network built for high-end, experiential travel — and I'm backed by my host agency, Departure Lounge, which connects me to a global community of independent luxury advisors. Between the two, I have real relationships with top hotels and providers worldwide, not just booking access. I travel regularly, attend industry trade shows, and stay close to what's actually happening on the ground — not just what's in a brochure. I'm also a Certified Travel Associate through The Travel Institute.

Not at all. Even a single-property booking benefits from my partnerships — priority upgrades, complimentary breakfast, spa and dining credits. No inquiry is too small.
-
That's exactly what Tailored Accommodations Planning is for — a curated proposal of up to three properties, booked directly by me, with VIP perks included on nearly every reservation.
-
We start with a conversation — up to 30 minutes — about how you actually want to travel. Not just where, but how: pace, style, the kind of details that make a trip feel like yours. That conversation is what everything else gets built on.
-
The first trip we plan together, I'm learning your travel preferences and style. By the third, we’ve built a relationship. That relationship is the actual product — not just time saved, but recommendations that get more precise every time. When working together on a full-service itinerary, you also have access to someone on the ground you can call when something needs handling in real time — an invaluable asset.
-
My partnerships with brands like Belmond, Four Seasons, Auberge, Rosewood, and more, put my clients at the top of the upgrade list, not just on it. But the bigger difference is relational — my standing with hotel owners and general managers, built over years, means my clients are recognized and looked after in ways a booking platform can't replicate.
-
It means I can book a hotel if that's all you need — but most clients come to me for more: accommodations, VIP arrivals, private transfers, guided touring, all handled on your behalf. These are the details that turn a good trip into one people talk about for years.

Simply: commission from hotel and travel partners on the back end, plus a non-refundable planning fee paid upfront for new trip planning. Full pricing lives on the Services page.
