The Hotel Hierarchy
Ever heard of it? I didn't either until I came into the travel industry.
You won’t know it on the surface, but where you book and who you book your hotel with matters.
Tier 1: Book with a travel agent who has industry connections.
Tier 2: Book directly with the hotel on their website
Tier 3: Book using Amex or another credit card
Tier 4: Book online (Expedia, Booking.com, etc)
Why does any of this matter? If you like getting surprise room upgrades, spa credits, and other special perks, you’re going to want to book with a travel agent, and if you want overall great service, you’re definitely going to want to be in tier 2.
Tier 3 and 4 is where things get dicey — no refunds, no perks, getting bumped if the hotel is overbooked.
The more you know, right?

Time ⏰ we all want more of it, am I right? And saving time is probably one of the best things I get to give my clients. Planning a big family trip or planning a milestone anniversary trip can take hours and hours.
From researching the best destinations and looking for the best hotel that checks all the boxes to making the reservations and booking the flights, the time can really start to add up.
When you work with me, you get to do all of the dreaming, and I do all of the heavy lifting to bring your perfect family getaway to life. I take care of all of the above (Plus keeping track of all those reservation codes!) so you can claim your time back.
When you’re ready to get started planning, get in touch. And in the meantime, leave your travel questions below. I’m here to help!

Don’t shoot the messenger but.....
Spending 20-30 hours to get a good trip planned (Yes, that’s seriously how long it takes!) is the old way of doing things.
The new way?
Delegate the planning to a travel agent who can do the legwork for you, make tailored suggestions, and give you access to special perks you would otherwise miss out on.
And a big bonus: you get to feel like a total VIP every step of the way.
If that’s how you’d like to be traveling in 2024, get in touch!

If you're headed to Europe this summer and you don't have to skip the line tickets booked for major attractions, you'll regret it!
I always recommend skip-the-line tickets to my clients in any normal year, but this year, with Swifties and the Paris Olympics taking over, it's going to be busy, busy, busy.
You won't regret saving time by skipping those crazy lineups in the hot sun with crazy crowds.
And if you REALLY want to make the most of your time, see what you want, and at your own pace, I highly recommend booking small group tours or a private guide — It makes sightseeing and exploring so much better.
If you're still putting together your summer adventure to Europe and would like help planning + support WHILE you're traveling (A huge bonus with how busy it'll be this year), I'm just a DM away.
