Working with me is a no-cost addition! As a Fora travel Advisor, I am paid by the resorts and agencies I work with to get YOU your maximum perks at a light price. Many resorts follow price parity, meaning the cost is the same whether you book through us, directly with the resort, or via an online booking site.

Here’s why I stand out:
Personalized Service: I take extensive time to know about who you are, what you’re looking for, what you can’t eat, and most importantly, what you want to spend. It’ll be as if I’m having out in your living room with my laptop planning this trip!
Honest Advice: Aside from honest recommendations, I’m also familiar with many planning styles, especially those with indecisive minds. Each change is made keeping reality in at the forefront, and I will let you know if anything seems unfeasible.
Exclusive Perks: Thanks to my strong connections to airlines, restaurant, and resorts through Fora, I can combine perks across mediums, and even mix in your credit card points where applicable!
Peace of Mind: You’re able to reach me anytime during the travel planning process, and my schedule will be clearly outlined at the beginning of our trip together. You can reserve your peace of mind while I reserve your hotels!

This is your trip, not mine. While I will do my best to remain honest and mindful of your itinerary and fellow travelers, ultimately you are the highest authority on what gets done.
Please keep in mind that some itinerary plans may be unfeasible, may interfere with other plans, or might skyrocket your budget. While I will address and discuss these obstacles with you, ultimately, the decision is yours. I just want you to have fun!
Ready to ride? Book your consultation with me and let’s maximize your trip!
To help me create the perfect itinerary for your next vacation, and be prepared for our initial consultation, it’s helpful to have a few details thought through before reaching out:
Destination Dreams: Do you have a specific place in mind, or are you open to suggestions?
Travel Dates: Are your dates flexible, or do you have set travel windows?
Budget: Having a general idea helps me recommend the best options for you.
Travel Style: Are you looking for adventure, relaxation, cultural experiences, or a mix?
Group Details: How many people are traveling, and are there any special considerations (kids, dietary needs, mobility concerns)?
If you’re not sure about everything, don’t worry! Just share what you can, and I’ll guide you from there. To make the process even smoother, you can fill out my free Trip Planning Form before we chat.
No, you don’t! The deposit requirements are determined by the resorts or tour operators I work with and vary based on your chosen package and travel dates.
Your deposit is made through the Fora portal, which may sometimes include options for direct payment. I will still receive confirmation information through Fora to keep track of your trip.
The process is all designed to be simple, secure, and transparent for you!
Digital Travel has seen a meteoric rise since COVID. With publications like Conde Nast Traveler, as well as National Geographic, it’s easier to keep up with an industry that’s ever-changing. Fora partners are always sharing new media with us as well, allowing us to provide deals and updates straight from the source.
In addition to physical and digital media, Fora advisors are constantly uploading and sharing travel itineraries with each other! Fora advisors operate as one big team, sharing resources that allow everyone to share in the world’s wonders without sacrificing experience.
Keeping your budget in mind, I will present to you three options for flights and hotels. For flights, you can expect different flight departure options with similar pricing. Hotels will be presented to you in three options, each at different price and perk levels, all within your price range.
