Here’s the thing about booking your next trip on an online website versus working with me to plan your trip.

➡️ When you book online, you get passive support that leaves you mostly responsible for your booking.

When you plan with me, I’m a very active and involved partner in your trip. You’re not left to figure it out on your own.

➡️ When you book online, you’re directed to the airline, hotel or tour company to sit on hold when things don’t go according to plan.

When you plan with me, you always have someone who can step in to assist. I know who to call for support, so you don’t have to sit on hold. (I've been known to leave in the middle of a dinner party to sit on hold so my client didn't have to!)

➡️ When you book online, you’re getting hotel, resort and tour suggestions based on what a search algorithm thinks you should see. And in some cases, you’re seeing the options that have paid to be more visible.

When you plan with me, you’re getting unbiased personalized recommendations based on your unique travel preferences and what truly makes the most sense for the type of trip you want to take.

Just a few of the ways I’m different than booking online, and if you’re curious whether working with me makes sense for your next trip, don’t hesitate to send me an email at [email protected] or DM me.

Remote and renowned, French Polynesia & Pacific Islands are perhaps the world’s most alluring destination. Stretching from Micronesia in the north to Polynesia in the east and Melanesia in the west, the region is home to almost 40,000 islands. To say that the area is vast is no understatement.

Silversea Expeditions’ small ship cruises take you to the beating heart of these almost inaccessible lands. Travel in all-inclusive luxury and get to know a region brimming with diversity. Accompanied by a team of expert guides, you’ll be diving into much more than the crystalline waters that have made the French Polynesia & Pacific Islands so famous.

Go beyond the tourist trail and discover the patchwork of culture, cuisine and customs that make each island so unique. If not now, then when?

On Expedition cruises, Zodiacs are used almost every day to access parts of the destination. Additionally, on several occasions, it is only possible embark and disembark the ship by Zodiac.

Before you dive into planning your next vacation, take a moment to really think about the goal of this trip.

What do you need right now, and why are you planning this vacation?

➡️ How are you feeling?

➡️ Are you celebrating something…are you burnt out?

➡️ Who’s by your side – family, your significant other, or friends?

Once you understand the goal of the trip, then you can start to craft it from a place that’s a lot deeper than just “I need a vacation.”

And as your travel advisor, I can turn those goals into detailed plans.

I’ll help you find the perfect places to stay, must-do activities, and hidden gems that match your vision and budget.

Plus, I’ll guide you through any travel hurdles and make sure every detail is taken care of.

With your goals for the trip clear, and my experience and expertise, your vacations truly get elevated to another level.

Let’s start planning a trip that ticks all the boxes. Drop a message below, and let’s get started!

Is this you? 👇

I just got off of a call with a potential client who’s planning a honeymoon trip and here’s what she said:

👉 She is done with the overwhelming choices out there and confusion of putting together a great trip.

👉 She wants to feel sure about whatever she books instead of second-guessing it every step of the way.

👉 She just wants someone to provide clarity and make it all come together.

If you can relate to any of the above as you plan your own trip, head to the link in my bio and book a complimentary planning call where I can get to know you and your travel needs.

You’ll also get to know me and how I can help you! Let’s chat.

Nothing saddens me more than hearing about people who book through Expedia or other booking engine and then can’t get the help they need with their trip when plans don’t go as planned.

I may not be a big corporation, but here’s one thing you can ALWAYS count on when you book your family vacations with me.

I’m here for my clients every step of the way, and when they run into challenges, I turn into a problem-solving ninja ⚡️ 99% of the time, I will have a solution that you will be happy with!

Too many times I hear about people getting let down and getting zero support from those big online booking websites when they truly need it.

Definitely not not the case here. I’m a call, text, or email away through every stage of the travel process. That’s the bottom line.
