Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, many clients come to us with a host of inspiration and ideas and we help to narrow down their options. By answering questions, and giving you information we are able to help you clarify your trip and move forward with confidence you’ve chosen the right trip location for you.

Yes. It would be a rare occasion when a client does not come to us without a budget. Once we have a clear picture of what you want, we work with you and your budget. Depending on your trip goals, we walk you through how best to structure your trip budget, where it is best to spend and where it isn’t.

Yes, of course you can do it yourself. Here is why and when working with a travel advisor might be most beneficial to you.

The two biggest reason people choose to work with a travel advisor is trip planning time investment and decision fatigue.

Most people grossly underestimate the amount of time it takes to plan even a weekend getaway to wine country. If you like curated travel and aren’t just “winging it, “ then it takes quite a few hours, and even days to bring a trip, even as simple as 2-3 days for a couple, together. We give you that time back, all you do is enjoy the trip.

And then there is the decision fatigue. The bigger, and or higher number of people traveling the more complex the trip gets. Before you know it you are hours in, dozens of tabs open on your computer and a feeling of overwhelment takes over. We get it, because this is what we do. A travel advisor does all the research then narrows down your best choices based on your goal and objective, making the decisions quick and easy.

Yes. We support you not only just in the planning and booking stages, but before if changes come up and with reminders. Also, during and after travel if plans shift or something unexpected comes up, we work with our destination partners to help assist in whatever way we are able to.

The earlier the better - always. Depending on what you are wanting, things can book up more than a year in advance. It is always best to reach out as soon as you are ready to have a discussion about your tip.

From professionals to busy families and retirees. The people who become my clients are looking for personalized service, not mass-market, DIY planning or choosing the “cheapest deal” over the experience they want to create.

If you enjoy researching and booking every detail yourself, are focused on deals or just want open-ended travel with no specific plan in mind, then we are not a fit for you. Our clients work with us because they want a more hands off or curated experience. If you are not sure, you are always welcome to reach out to us and ask.
