My Travel Planning Process: Pre Booking

Once you’re ready to start planning your vacation and fill out my inquiry form, I’ll reach out with any follow up questions and start to get to know you better. I will probably assign some “homework” to do (former teachers gotta teach) so that I get to know you a little better, and I'll follow up with any questions I need answered to plan your perfect vacation. 

Now it’s my time to get to work, matching the feedback you’ve given me to the right experiences and destinations for you! I use my expertise and work with destination partners to present your customized itinerary. This process will take anywhere from 7-10 business days or longer depending on the scope of the trip. Don't worry, I promise it's worth the wait!

You'll get your detailed, personalized proposal and have a chance to review options and make changes until each detail is absolutely perfect! This process can take a few hours to a few weeks depending on the changes you would like to cultivate in your itinerary. I'll help you navigate the planning and itinerary making process along the way! 

We chose the perfect destination, now we will book all the major components that make up the core of your trip: transportation, accommodations, and any must-do activities. I will secure all the details so that you can stress less and start looking forward to your magical journey!

After booking, we will discuss any special concierge-level requests, such as restaurant reservations, spa visits, or excursions to enrich your time away. I will send over options and opportunities and we will book those things 2-6 months prior to travel. 

Two weeks before you leave, I’ll send you off with hard or electronic copies of every document you may need. This includes your custom itinerary, reservation confirmations, and tickets. I’ll also send helpful reminders, recommendations, and travel tips unique to your destination all loaded into your travel app you can access anytime.

When you board the plane, you will board with the full confidence that you have someone back home who is there for you, no matter what happens on your adventure. My job isn’t done until you are home and I will be working behind the scenes of your vacation confirming appointments, touching base with your hotels ahead of time, and tracking flights.

Don't worry: I am always just a call or text away while you are on your journey. I am here for any support, advice, or help you may need until you return home. Ready to get started? fill out my inquiry form
