1. Why should I use a travel consultant instead of booking online myself?
   Think of me as your personal travel architect. While booking sites are great for simple transactions, I provide a full-service, bespoke experience. I save you countless hours of research, offer expert curation to match your travel style, provide access to exclusive perks and rates, and act as your advocate before, during, and after your trip. When you book online, you’re on your own if something goes wrong. With me, you have a dedicated expert to solve any issues.
2. How does your fee structure work?
   Transparency is key. My fees are structured based on the service you choose:

• Consulting Services: These are typically charged as a flat project fee (e.g., for a Travel Strategy Session) or an hourly rate (e.g., for an Itinerary Review).
• Full-Service Planning: For these comprehensive packages, I charge a planning fee based on the complexity and length of your trip. This fee is for my research, design, and logistical expertise. In many cases, I also earn a commission from suppliers (like hotels and tours), which does not add any cost to you.

You will always receive a clear proposal outlining all fees before any work begins.

3. What is your specialty or niche?
   While I love crafting all kinds of journeys, my deepest expertise lies in:

• Luxury & Bespoke Travel: Curating unique, high-end experiences with a focus on exceptional service and exclusive access.
• Romantic Getaways & Honeymoons: Designing intimate and unforgettable trips for couples.
• Family & Multi-Generational Travel: Creating seamless itineraries that delight travelers of all ages, ensuring everyone has a fantastic time.

4. I have a destination in mind, but I’m flexible on the details. Can you help?
   Absolutely! This is one of my favorite scenarios. We’ll start with a discovery call to discuss your travel style, interests, budget, and desired pace. From there, I can provide a few curated destination options or dive deep into your chosen one, creating an itinerary that brings it to life in a way you never imagined.
5. How far in advance should I contact you?
   The sooner, the better! For complex trips, honeymoons, or travel during peak season, I recommend 6-12 monthsin advance. This gives us the best selection of accommodations, flights, and highly sought-after experiences. However, I can also work with shorter timelines—please don’t hesitate to reach out even if your trip is just a few months away.
6. Do you only book luxury, five-star hotels?
   Not at all! My goal is to find the perfect accommodation for you. Whether it’s a charming boutique hotel, a private villa, a sleek city-center apartment, or a sustainable eco-lodge, I have a network of trusted partners at various price points. We will discuss your preferences during our consultation to ensure your stay is perfectly suited to your style and budget.
7. What if something goes wrong during my trip?
   This is where my value truly shines. I am your 24/7 point of contact. If a flight is cancelled, a hotel is overbooked, or you need a last-minute restaurant recommendation, you can call or message me directly. I will work behind the scenes to solve the problem, so you can get back to enjoying your vacation.
8. Can you help with group travel?
   Yes! Coordinating travel for a group of friends or a multi-generational family is a complex task I happily manage. I handle the logistics, coordinate preferences, secure group rates, and ensure the itinerary works for everyone, making your group trip relaxing and enjoyable for all.
9. I have dietary restrictions/special needs. Can you accommodate that?
   Of course. Your health, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully note any dietary restrictions, mobility needs, or health concerns and ensure that all suppliers (hotels, tours, restaurants) are aware and prepared to accommodate you seamlessly.
10. How do we get started?
