Frequently Asked Questions

I have never worked with a travel advisor. What are the benefits?

Travel advisors bring destination knowledge, insider connections, and firsthand experience you simply can’t get from a search engine. You’re not just booking a trip—you’re tapping into curated guidance. Plus, with established partnerships, a client can receive VIP treatment and insider access to perks (think complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, hotel credits, and much more!)

Can you describe your affiliation with FORA and Virtuoso?

Yes! Being affiliated with FORA gives me access to an extensive network of vetted partners and industry-leading resources. The FORA community is incredibly collaborative—we’re constantly sharing insights and expertise, which means every trip I plan is backed by the knowledge of a trusted collective. As a FORA Advisor, I’m also affiliated with Virtuoso, allowing me to unlock exclusive perks, VIP amenities, and direct connections to top hotel general managers around the world.

What types of hotel perks can I get by booking through you?

It varies by property, but most 4- and 5-star hotels offer exceptional perks—think complimentary breakfast, room upgrades upon arrival, food & beverage credits, and thoughtful welcome amenities. There’s nothing quite like starting your trip with a surprise upgrade or stepping into your room to find champagne and chocolates waiting just for you.

I have an AMEX card and can book through Fine Hotels and Resorts. Why would I book through you?

I get this question all the time! The bottom line: I’m able to offer the same luxury perks you’d receive with an AMEX Platinum—without the $895 annual fee. And unlike a credit card, you also get me: a dedicated travel expert who’s just a call or text away whenever you need guidance.

What types of trips do you book?

Honestly, the possibilities are endless! Being affiliated with FORA gives me access to a wealth of knowledge and resources to plan nearly any trip you can imagine. That said, Italy continues to be my favorite—and it seems my clients agree, as it’s the destination I book most often!

Will you book cruises?

Yes! Cruises are an ideal way to travel, especially for large groups or multi-generational families. Even better—there’s no planning fee for my cruise clients, making the experience seamless and stress-free. Now with so many high-end cruise lines, cruising has become a very luxurious way to see the world.

Do you have access to Villas/apartments?

Yes! Every villa, home, or apartment I book is through a fully vetted company, so you can travel with complete peace of mind—no worries about arriving to find the property doesn’t exist or dealing with unreliable hosts.
