Designed for the Way You Travel
Levels of Service
Whether you already know where you want to go or you’re searching for a destination that feels just right, I’ll help you create a journey that’s thoughtfully planned, deeply personal, and filled with the kinds of discoveries that make travel memorable long after you’ve returned home.
Journeys designed around what matters most to you.
Package One
01.
This service is complimentary. You pay for your travel arrangements as usual.
If you’ve already got a destination in mind and just need someone to handle the hotel logistics, this is where we start.
I’ll take care of the hotel bookings and put my Virtuoso relationships and preferred partnerships to work for you — which often means complimentary breakfast, room upgrades when available, and dining or spa credits that have a way of making a good trip feel even better.
Elevated booking, with a few nice surprises along the way.

Package Two
02.
This is where we create something entirely your own.
Rather than building an itinerary around a checklist of highlights, I begin by understanding how you like to experience a destination. Then I combine firsthand knowledge, trusted local relationships, and careful research to uncover the places, people, and moments that often sit just beyond the well-traveled path.
Sometimes that’s the boutique hotel everyone wishes they’d found sooner. Sometimes it’s the family-run vineyard, the hidden piazza that comes alive at sunset, or the restaurant where reservations depend more on relationships than reservation platforms. Whatever form it takes, the goal is always the same—to help you experience a destination more deeply, more comfortably, and more meaningfully.
For travelers who know the best experiences are rarely the most obvious.

What’s Included
As a Virtuoso travel advisor, I have access to a global network of exceptional hotels, cruise lines, destination specialists, and hospitality partners.
For many hotel stays, that means preferred amenities such as complimentary breakfast, room upgrades when available, resort credits, early check-in, and late checkout.
Just as valuable are the relationships behind those benefits. They allow me to connect you with remarkable properties, trusted local experts, and experiences that help you see a destination from a perspective many travelers never do.
What is Virtuoso, and why does it matter?
Yes. Custom itinerary design includes a professional planning fee, which reflects the research, expertise, coordination, and personalized attention invested in creating your journey. Fees vary depending on the destination, length, and complexity of your itinerary and will be discussed during our introductory conversation.
Your travel arrangements—including accommodations, transportation, guides, and experiences—are paid directly to the travel suppliers.
Do you charge planning fees?
The earlier we begin, the more opportunities we have to create something exceptional.
For many destinations—especially Italy and Europe during peak travel seasons—I recommend planning six to twelve months in advance. This allows access to the most sought-after hotels, private experiences, and guides before availability becomes limited.
If your timeline is shorter, it’s still worth reaching out. Sometimes the best journeys begin with an unexpected opening.
How far in advance should I start planning?
Not at all. Some clients arrive with a destination already chosen. Others simply know they’re looking for something different. Our first conversation is designed to uncover what you’re hoping to experience, then determine where that trip is waiting for you.
Sometimes the right destination is the one you hadn’t considered yet.
Do I need to know exactly where I want to go before we speak?
Luxury travel is about more than reservations—it’s about knowing where to look.
I help you make informed decisions, uncover experiences that genuinely reflect your interests, and navigate the countless choices that shape a meaningful journey. My destination expertise, trusted industry relationships, and firsthand research allow me to recommend places and experiences that aren’t always easy to find on your own.
From selecting the right hotel to managing unexpected changes while you’re traveling, I’m your advocate every step of the way.
Over time, our work together becomes even more valuable. As I get to know how you travel, every itinerary becomes more personal, more seamless, and more reflective of what brings you joy.
