How it works
Four simple steps between you and the trip — and I'm with you at each one.

You approve it, I book it
Love the plan? Say the word and I'll handle the agreed booking arrangements personally — then you just pack.
What's included: research, a written proposal with realistic pricing, the agreed booking arrangements, and a real person in your corner before and during your trip — all with no planning fee. When is it booked? Once you approve the plan and the supplier confirms it with your deposit applied; you'll receive the confirmation in writing. What happens next? I watch the details and deadlines — including your fare. If the price drops before final payment, I’ll work to get your booking repriced — and we refine the fun parts together as your trip gets closer.
Free to inquire, free to plan
There's no planning fee and no catch. I'm paid by the travel suppliers — the cruise lines, hotels, and resorts — so my planning costs you nothing.
You typically pay the same price you'd pay booking it yourself — with an experienced traveler who loves cruises and international trips doing the work, and hunting the best rate while she's at it. My research and proposals are prepared for trips booked with me — that's what makes planning at no fee possible.

Prefer to talk it through before anything's booked? Grab a call — we'll cover your ideas, your budget, and what I can build for you.
Good questions
Does it really cost me nothing?
Really. Travel suppliers pay me a commission after you travel, and the price you pay is typically the same as booking on your own. My research, proposal, and booking help are free to you — they're prepared for trips booked with me, which is what makes that possible.
What kinds of trips can you book?
My specialty is cruises — especially international sailings — and all-inclusive resorts. I also plan other international and bucket-list travel, family and multigenerational trips, honeymoons, US road trips, and theme-park vacations, across a wide range of budgets and travel styles.
I'm not sure where I want to go yet. Can you still help?
Absolutely — that's one of the best reasons to book a call. Tell me your budget, your travel style, and who's going, and I'll bring you ideas matched to all three.
How do we talk before I commit to anything?
Use the inquiry form above, book a call on my scheduler, or phone me directly. We'll go through your proposal together, and nothing is booked until you approve it.
