YOU’VE EARNED THIS TRIP!

You’re not looking for another list of “top 10 things to do.” You’re looking for someone to take the overwhelm off your plate
and get every detail right — so all you have to do is show up.

For over four years, I’ve planned trips for travelers who’d rather hand off the research, the logistics, and the second-guessing to someone who’s actually been there or has a strong industry network. Many of my clients tell me that travel planning gives them anxiety — if that’s you, you’re in exactly the right place. Others feel anxious about the travel itself: maybe you’ve never been outside the USA, it’s been years since your last international trip, or just the thought of going somewhere unfamiliar feels overwhelming. Either way, I’ve got you.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR TRIP

Planning should feel like a relief. For most people, it doesn’t.

You’ve got the vacation days. You’ve got the destination in mind, maybe pinned on a board somewhere. But between comparing twelve versions of the same itinerary, worrying you’ll miss the right experience, and wondering if this trip will actually deliver what you’re hoping for — the planning itself becomes its own kind of stress.

That’s the part I take off your hands. I ask the right questions up front — about your pace, your comfort with crowds, your mobility, your family’s needs, what “relaxing” actually means to you — and I build a trip around the real answer, not a generic template.

Who I work with

Anxious & Introverted Travelers

Clear communication, no surprises, and a plan that respects your need for downtime — not a jam-packed itinerary designed for someone else’s energy level.

Families

Certified Family Travel Specialist. From Disneyland to multi-generational international trips, I plan around what actually keeps kids (and parents) happy — not just what looks good on paper.

Travelers with Accessibility or Special Needs

Special Needs Travel Certification. I ask about mobility, sensory needs, and medical considerations before I recommend a single hotel or activity — so nothing gets discovered the hard way, mid-trip.

Destination Specialists Worth Trusting Advanced certifications in New Zealand, Hawaii, Portugal, and Australia mean I’m not reading the same blog posts you already found — I’ve done the training and, in most cases, the travel myself.

What Our Clients Say

Real stories from people who trusted us with their travel planning

Thank you for making our eight week trip so easy. Everything went so smoothly, that I was looking forward to meeting our driver at the airport when we arrived. I had some fantastic conversations. And I couldn’t believe every one of the rooms that we stayed in had a view. Tahiti, and the over water bungalow was such a stand out.

Thank you for arranging my perfect trip to Uluru and Alice Springs. I’ve been wanting to do this trip for a long time. I loved every minute of it.

Overall it was a wonderful trip with the timing close to perfect! The best decision we made was to drive and rent the car. The accommodations you selected for us were great! They all included wonderful breakfasts and were charming. Thank you for helping us plan all of this. It was great.

We had a great time. No problems at all. We changed the travel a bit and made a stop in Stuttgart and went to their zoo, so fun. Nuremburg was by far the family favorite! Thanks for everything.

We’ve made it to the Mayfair. Everything went perfect. We even got to check in early and this was waiting for us in the room [image of a card with Happy Anniversary and hand written messages from the staff at the hotel]
