You know what you’ll NEVER regret?

Taking the dang trip.

I recently got back from a weeklong cruise from Galveston, and I couldn’t help but think of how much travel has changed me over the years.

So many new perspectives, ideas, and inspiration come to me every time I take myself out of the everyday chaos and just take time to relax and refresh.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list, stuck in a rut with the same old routine, or just plain exhausted from the daily grind, it might be time to pack your bags and escape for a bit!

What’s really going on behind the scenes when you open up an online travel booking site and start searching for a hotel?

You’ll get a list of results, but here’s the thing, it may not actually be what’s best for you and your travel preferences.

So many booking sites prioritize profits, pushing trip suggestions based on the inventory they want to fill and suppliers who pay for premium placements.

It’s about what’s best for their bottom line, not necessarily what’s best for you and your travel plans.

If you’re just looking to book a quick trip, they might do the trick. But if you’re like my clients and crave a travel experience tailored to your unique preferences, you deserve more than a 1-800 number and generic recommendations based on who’s paying for ads.

And that’s where I can help! If you’re currently looking to book a winter getaway, let’s chat.

🍂Just wrapped up the perfect fall weekend in Chicago! 🍂

Stayed at the stunning (the rooftop views are unreal 😍), checked out the iconic Bean for some classic city vibes, and took an architectural boat tour with Chicago Fireboat Tours that gave me a whole new perspective of this beautiful city’s skyline. 🛶✨ Who knew fall could be this magical?

If you’re booking a hotel or resort, you should really know the answer to this question 👇

This is going to sound a little bit out of left field but do you know if your hotel or resort is under construction?

Avoid the surprise of finding out you’re going to hear hammering from 8 AM to 5 PM for the duration of your stay by asking these three questions:

1️⃣ Renovation schedules: The first step is to find out. Call the hotel to ask if they will be planning any renovations during the dates of your stay.

2️⃣ Noise levels: Ask about potential noise disruptions and how they’re helping their guests make adjustments at night.

3️⃣ Room assignments: Request a room away from the renovation area or, if it’s not possible, consider a different hotel.

⭐And the ultimate hack? Work with a travel advisor like me!

I make sure you‘re in the know about all the details of your trip. My DMs are always open to your questions.

Here’s the thing about booking your vacation on a website like Expedia or Trivago versus working with me to plan your trip...

We’re both the bridge or connection point of sorts between you and the various elements of your trip.

Things like your hotel or resort, your transportation, and the tours and experiences you book.

But here’s where things are different:

➡️ When you book online, you get passive support that leaves you mostly responsible for your booking.

When you plan with me, I’m a very active and involved partner in your trip. You’re not left to figure it out on your own.

➡️ When you book online, you’re directed to the airline, hotel or tour company to sit on hold when things don’t go according to plan.

When you plan with me, you always have someone who can step in to assist. I know who to call for support, so you don’t have to sit on hold.

➡️ When you book online, you’re getting hotel, resort and tour suggestions based on what a search algorithm thinks you should see. And in some cases, you’re seeing the options that have paid to be more visible.

When you plan with me, you’re getting unbiased personalized recommendations based on your unique travel preferences and what truly makes the most sense for the type of trip you want to take.

Just a few of the ways I’m different than booking online, and if you’re curious whether working with me makes sense for your next trip, don’t hesitate to send me an email at [email protected] or DM me.

Here’s the thing about planning and booking trips…

When you work with me, you’re basically calling in the travel planning cavalry to make planning and making the trip SO much easier.

I plan trips for my clients to destinations like Europe or the Caribbean, and that includes:

✨ A Tailored Experience: I don’t just pull from a shelf of pre-packaged vacations—you’ll receive an itinerary that reflects your unique travel style and interests.

🏨 Expert Recommendations: Every hotel or resort I suggest has been carefully vetted by me. You’ll get honest, first-hand insights, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

🌐 Global Connections: It’s not just me behind the scenes. I collaborate with trusted partners worldwide to make sure you‘re taken care of, no matter where you‘re headed.

🤝 Collaborative Planning: While I handle the heavy lifting, the process is still very much a partnership. I make sure planning is as stress-free as possible while you get excited.

- Ready when you are - to make travel planning (and taking the actual trip) so much easier for you!

What I would tell my younger self, travel edition ✈️

I would tell her:

- You don‘t need to wait for others to travel, get out there and do it solo.

- Pack the swimsuit, girl. Life is too short not to wear what you want!

- Don't pass up that trip opportunity. Work will always be there, but travel will enrich your soul more than an office cube ever will!

What travel advice would you give your younger self?

One thing you should know about working with me?

I’m a hawk when it comes to getting my clients the best value for their money and travel budget.

If I know you’ve got a vacation you’re thinking of taking and I know well in advance, you better believe I’m keeping my eyes peeled for the best offers for you.

Whether it’s a cruise category price promo or a great deal on an all-inclusive in that destination you mentioned you were wanting to take a trip to...

I dive into the travel promotions and keep an eye out for offers that align with my clients’ upcoming trips.

The sun is setting on summer, but if you’re thinking of getting away this coming winter, let me know so I can keep an eye on offers that come across my desk!

PS - who remembers using paper maps??
