Let’s talk about
the details.

Tell me your possible dates, who is coming, where you’re thinking of going, and a budget range you’re comfortable with. I’d also love to hear what you’re excited about and anything you’ve already booked. You don’t need a finished plan. Start with my trip request form.

Absolutely! Tell me what sounds good: relaxing by the water, exploring a new city, celebrating with family, or trying something different. Your timing, budget, and the pace you enjoy can help us narrow it down together.

I focus on luxury and adventure travel, especially cruises and packaged land tours. I also help with Caribbean resort getaways, European itineraries, multigenerational travel, and groups. Tell me what you’re dreaming of, and we can talk about the kind of trip that feels right for you.

Yes! I’m based in Richmond, Virginia, and work with clients anywhere in the U.S. We can connect by phone, video chat, and email. I have longtime ties to Texas too. Appointments are scheduled in Eastern Time, and we’ll find a time that works for us.

Absolutely. Tell me who is coming, the ages and interests in the group, and how much time you’d like to spend together. We can talk through cruises, packaged land tours, or a Caribbean resort stay and what each traveler would enjoy. It helps to start with a rough headcount, possible dates, and a comfortable budget range.

Get in touch when you have a rough idea of your dates, especially if there’s a celebration, a group, or a particular hotel, ship, or cabin you have your heart set on. There isn’t one perfect booking window for every trip. If you’re hoping to leave soon, let me know that too.

Give me a range that feels comfortable, and tell me whether flights need to fit within it. We should also think about transfers, meals, excursions, tips, travel coverage, and spending money. I’d love to know what you want to splurge on and where you’re happy to keep it simple.

Your first consultation is complimentary. During our call, we’ll talk about my trip design services and the help you’re looking for. Service fees vary with the complexity of the trip, so let’s be clear about what is included and what it will cost before moving ahead.

Send me the offer you’re looking at. We can compare the dates, traveler count, room or cabin category, and fare conditions. Taxes, extras, payment dates, and cancellation terms can make two similar-looking prices quite different. It helps to compare the whole picture.

Let me know as soon as you can, and keep your written booking terms handy. The options and any charges depend on the airline, hotel, cruise line, or other supplier and the rate you booked. Before you commit, check what is refundable, the payment dates, and when penalties begin.

I’d start this early. Requirements depend on your nationality and each destination or transit stop, so check passport validity, blank pages, visas, and entry authorizations for your full route. I’ve put a passport preparation guide together with official links to help you get started.

It’s worth asking questions before choosing a policy. Ask the insurance provider to explain the coverage, limits, exclusions, purchase deadlines, and claims process for your trip. Check how cancellation, interruption, medical needs, and your activities are treated. I’ve linked the NAIC consumer guide ↗ as a useful starting point.

Early, please. Tell me the practical things that will help you enjoy the trip: walking distances, steps, accessible rooms or transfers, dietary needs, or equipment. We should be clear about what a supplier has actually confirmed. A request on a reservation isn’t the same as a confirmed arrangement.

Before you leave, let’s go over the best way to reach me and the support available for your trip. Keep your airline, hotel, cruise line, transfer, and insurance assistance numbers offline too. For an immediate flight or boarding issue, speak to the carrier or staff on site; in an emergency, use local emergency services. Let me know how your arrangements are affected.
