How I Serve You

How I Serve You

Step One:  Tell me about your desires and preferences. The topics we discuss include: 


  • What do you dream of seeing and doing on your trip? Are you visiting museums? Experiencing nature and wildlife? Seeing historic sites? Taking a cooking class? Hiking? Snorkel/Scuba?


  • What is your travel "style"? Do you prefer to use guides? Explore independently?


  • Would you like a set "to the minute" itinerary; or more of an outline of what to see and do? 


  • Who are you traveling with? Or is this time just for you?


  • What type of lodging do you prefer? Hotels? Resorts? Rental homes? B&Bs?


  • What is your budget range?


  • How long can you be away? Are there certain dates you have free?


      Step Two: Using your feedback, I will research, contact my industry connections, and create a custom trip based on your desires. You will be given a proposed itinerary to review, which can be amended as you request.  The items listed below are among the services that will be provided.  


      • Accommodation
      • Activities
      • Directions
      • Reservations
      • Tours
      • Transportation
      • Any special requests or interests you may have

       

      Step Three:  Enjoy your vacation (and know that I am available if you need me)!


      How to hire me


      As an independent travel planner, I work for you, not the travel industry.  I will curate locations, lodging, and activities to create a custom trip that matches your desires, not what a hotel or travel company wants you to be sold.


      In return for the research time, expertise, and industry connections I devote to you, I charge a flat planning fee, depending on the trip complexity and number of travelers. This fee starts at $525 and is not included in your trip costs.
