your new travel guru

With 11 years in PR and Marketing, I’ve worked with big names in Food & Beverage, Tech, Retail, and more. But my real passion? Traveling! I’m at my happiest exploring new places and sharing my experiences.

Friends and family have always turned to me for travel tips, and my social media posts from my trips often get tons of questions about where I am and if I’d recommend it. When people ask, “Where are you off to next?” I take it as a huge compliment. Now, I’m excited to turn my travel passion into a career as a travel advisor, where I can help you plan amazing trips and make your travel dreams come true!

frequently asked questions

How do I make payments?

Do you book Airbnbs?

Can you provide advising services for a destination you haven't been to before?

What if I need to cancel my trip?

Once we confirm your itinerary and you're ready to make a deposit, I'll send over a secure credit card link to collect your information.

Your credit card isn’t charged immediately upon authorization, but what this does is give me all of the information I need as well as permission to make charges on your behalf (after receiving your written approval). Your information is then securely saved, we can make future payments quickly and easily.

Because of Airbnb’s protection policy for their owners, the person staying at the home must be the one who books. However, for clients who opt for full service planning, I can research and include Airbnbs as options within my proposals for clients to book direct.

How do I make payments?

Believe it or not, I can! One of the benefits of being part of a host agency like FORA is that in addition to my personal experience, I have access to a broad range of destination training materials, in-market suppliers, and a huge network of advisors who share their expertise and recommendations. The same way you'd research before planning a trip to a new destination, I handle that research for you.

How do I make payments?

In today's travel climate, I understand how important flexibility and the option to cancel your trip has become. Part of my job as your travel advisor is to educate you about each aspect of your trip's cancellation policy. The tour guides, hotels, properties, and experiences I curate for my clients often have their own unique set of cancellation policies, so I will include all cancellation details as well as Travel Insurance options clearly in your trip proposal.
