Hotel and cruise bookings are complimentary. Trip planning starts at $250. Your price is confirmed on our first call and paid before planning begins, and hotel, cruise and other trip costs are paid separately, on each partner's terms. For groups, it depends on the size of the group and the scope of the trip.

Families, couples, groups of friends and anyone marking a milestone, along with corporate and group trips. Most of my clients care about where they stay, how the days flow and where they'll eat.

There's no set minimum, and I work with a range of budgets. Most of my hotel partnerships sit in the boutique and five-star range, so that's where I do most of my work.

Not at all. A long weekend deserves the same care as two weeks abroad. Some of my favorite trips to plan are short ones: one great hotel, a couple of memorable dinners, and plenty of time to slow down.

Everything that makes a trip feel like yours: your dates, who's traveling, the pace you enjoy, the hotels and food you love, and the things you'd rather skip. Before planning begins, you'll fill out a short traveler profile so the details are right from the start.

Often, yes. It depends on my current schedule and how much lead time the trip needs. Reach out and I'll tell you honestly whether I can give it the attention it deserves.

Often, yes. Depending on the hotel, I may be able to take over your existing reservation so your stay includes the same perks my clients receive. From there, I can plan the rest of the trip around it.

Flight coordination, including business and first class, is available as an add-on to The Framework and The Escape. We can talk specifics on our first call.

Dinner and spa reservations are part of The Escape. The Framework includes the key tours and experiences worth booking ahead. If you're using Hotel Booking on its own, I'm happy to connect you with the hotel's concierge team, who can arrange these for you.

Absolutely. A villa is one of my favorite ways to travel with family or a group. I work with trusted villa partners around the world.

Yes, and I love them. Pricing for groups depends on the size of your group and the scope of the trip, and it's confirmed upfront.

Highly. It isn't required, but I always recommend it, especially for international trips. A good policy can cover unexpected cancellations, medical costs, delays and lost luggage, and I'm glad to point you toward options that fit your trip.

Before anything is booked, I walk you through each cancellation policy so you know the deadlines ahead of time. If plans change, let me know as soon as you can and I'll handle the changes with the hotel or cruise line.

Mainly by email, with a call whenever it's more useful than a message thread. Expect a reply within one to two business days, sooner if you're traveling.
