Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started planning a trip?
I work by appointment only—just schedule a complimentary call so we can get to know each other and make sure we’re a great fit. This personal conversation lets me understand your travel dreams and preferences. Please note that I do not provide quotes over email or direct message before our initial call; every trip is custom-designed for you.
Do you work with solo travelers or groups?
I specialize in custom journeys for solo women, friends, couples, and small groups who want thoughtful, personalized service.
Which destinations do you focus on?
My focus is Europe’s most vibrant destinations, but I also create bespoke escapes worldwide—just ask if you have a special request!
What is the average budget for trips you plan?
My clients' typical investment starts at $700 per person, per day for their vacation, allowing me to create a truly seamless, high-touch experience from planning to return. This does not include airfare, which will vary based on routing, cabin class, and airline. For the level of service I provide, a minimum total trip investment of $10,000 (excluding airfare) is required. If your travel plans align with this minimum, we will discuss your desired budget and tailor your itinerary during our complimentary call.
Do you charge a travel planning fee?
Yes, I charge a professional planning fee to provide dedicated, personalized service, expert curation, and support throughout your trip. This fee varies depending on the complexity and length of your itinerary. We’ll discuss full details during our initial call to ensure the best fit for your journey.
Is travel insurance required for trips you plan?
I highly recommend travel insurance for every journey I design. It protects your investment from unexpected events—like trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and lost baggage—so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind. If you’d like a quote or want to discuss options, I’m here to guide you! You can also get a self-quote HERE. If you decline insurance, a signed waiver will be required to complete your trip booking.
How soon can I expect a reply?
