It’s a conundrum, isn’t it?
When you only take one or two big trips a year, you don’t have time to waste on a ho-hum vacation … but you don’t have time to plan something truly exceptional, either.
Something tailored to your particular tastes, that takes you exactly where you want to go, on your own terms.
Well, conundrum, meet solution.
As your personal travel advisor
I take the planning off your hands.
And my personalized approach means your final itinerary will have “you” written all over it.
Plus, thanks to my supplier partnerships, I can often unlock exclusive upgrades and additional amenities for you that you wouldn’t otherwise have access to.
What can I design for you ?
Custom Itineraries
Built from scratch, highly personalized travel experiences crafted around your particular interests.
From hand-picked boutique properties to expert guides and unique immersive activities, every facet of your itinerary will reflect the way you yearn to discover. Your vacation time is precious, so let’s make every moment count on an escape designed just for you.
Boutique Cruising
Experience the allure and exhilaration of true luxury cruising.
Float down a river whose banks are scattered with castles and countryside manors. Sail past glaciers in the Arctic or the remote Galapagos islands on an expedition cruise. Indulge in a private yacht charter with a custom itinerary to the spots most tourists miss. I pair you with an elevated cruise experience—and I can even design custom pre- and post-stays to extend your vacation.
Specialty Groups
Indulge your shared passions and discover new ones, together, on a custom group journey.
From teeing off at exclusive world-class golf courses with your private club to touring architectural treasures with a private guide just for your group; take your club, organization, or multi-generational family on a trip that builds deep camaraderie. I make it easy, by keeping track of every last detail and all of your group’s logistics.
FOUR STEPS TO YOUR NEXT EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE
Step 1: Your Complimentary Consultation
Because personalization is baked into my process, I like to get to know my clients before the planning begins.
On your consultation call (or, if you’re local to Cleveland, we can meet over coffee!) we’ll go deep into your travel likes and dislikes, past trips that have inspired you or left you disappointed, and go over important considerations like your budget, timing, and who you’ll be traveling with.
You’ll get an opportunity to get any of your questions answered on this call as well. If you feel like we’d be a good fit, I’ll share my planning fee with you—which is based on your trip’s length and complexity—before moving forward.
Step 2: Research & Refine
Based on what I learn during our consultation, I’ll begin researching your options—this includes reaching out to my exclusive travel partners about dates and availability.
You’ll receive at least two custom itinerary options that fit within your budget. Then, we’ll work together to tweak your itinerary until you’re simply itching to escape.
Step 3: Book & Manage Your Trip
Leave all the details to me—once you sign off on your itinerary, I’ll book every last travel component for you. This includes:
—Flights
—Transfers
—Hotel, villa, cruise cabin, and/or resort reservations
—Private transportation or car rental
—Small-group or private tours
—Dining reservations
—Tee times at exclusive golf courses
—Museum and/or event tickets
I also keep track of all the moving parts of your reservations, like when your deposits are due and important travel documents you must complete. I sweat the small stuff so you don’t have to!
Step 4: Make Your (Effortless!) Escape
When you take off, you’ll be able to travel with confidence and ease. For one, you’ll receive all your travel documents and itinerary via special app, for access on the go in addition to formal document presentation prior to your journey.
And, of course, you’ll have access to me as well. Simply reach out if you encounter any travel “bumps” and I’ll work behind the scenes to smooth them over for you.
When you return home, I’d love to touch base to see how your trip went—and to take note of the types of experiences you especially enjoyed so we can bake them into your next vacation!
