Custom travel planning services FAQs:

What does “custom travel planning” actually include?

Using custom travel planning services means that every part of your trip, from accommodations and transportation to activities and excursions, is tailored to your travel style, interests, and budget. Your trip is designed entirely around YOU! There are no cookie-cutter itineraries.

There are some portions of your trip that you’ll be responsible for booking, such as dining reservations, spa appointments, and on-your-own sightseeing activities. I find that it’s much easier for you to book these online or directly through the hotel concierge team to maximize flexibility and minimize the need for tons of messages authorizing me to book one-off items.

Why should I work with you when I can use Google and ChatGPT to make my itinerary?

It’s easy to burn out when researching travel online because of how many resources there are to consume, from travel blogs and magazines to TikTok and YouTube videos. How often have you found yourself overwhelmed by falling into the travel research rabbit hole? I’m here to simplify the travel planning process for you so you can skip feeling overwhelmed.

Additionally, online search engines and AI can’t provide the expert insight, personal support, or exclusive connections that a travel advisor can. I’ll curate the most unique, authentic trip for you with heart, experience, intention, and a human touch.

Unfortunately, things can and do go wrong when we’re traveling. I’ll be your biggest advocate, ensuring we find the best possible solution. With my connections to trusted partners, we’ll be able to resolve the problem efficiently with as little stress as possible. No chatbox or search engine can do that!

I don’t know where to go, can you help me decide?

Absolutely. We’ll figure it out together! Whether you’re into beaches, mountains, culture, food, or something specific, I’ll match you with the best destination based on your vibe and travel goals.

Have Asia on your mind, but not sure which country is best for you? Take my Asian destination quiz to get started.

Do you plan trips outside of Asia?

Yes, absolutely! While Asia is my specialty, I love planning trips all over the world and have trusted partners, resources, and vetted recommendations worldwide to build you an incredible itinerary, no matter where your journey may take you.

How far in advance should I start planning?

The earlier, the better, especially for international travel. Ideally, reach out 3-6 months before your desired travel dates. But if you’re planning last-minute, I can still help!

How much do your custom travel planning services cost?

Planning fees vary based on trip length, destination, and complexity. After your consultation call, I’ll provide a clear, custom quote. It’s a one-time flat fee, with no hidden costs. Clients are often surprised to learn that my planning fee for a fully custom itinerary costs about the same as just one or two nights in a hotel, and more than pays for itself through the time saved, exclusive perks, and personalized expertise I provide.

these might surprise you… usually, when you hea these might surprise you…

usually, when you hear about asia travel, you hear about japan and thailand. I LOVE those countries (have been to both twice), but the continent has so many underrated destinations that end up being really memorable because you don’t expect them to be as spectacular as they are

are any of these countries on your bucket list? if they aren’t… add them right now!

words that never get old: welcome to thailand 🥹 words that never get old: welcome to thailand 🥹🛺🇹🇭🏝️🐘🥭

thailand was the top country on my travel bucket list until I got to visit in 2023, and I went back earlier this year to spend a whole month there because I can’t get enough 💛 I’ll never check it off my bucket list because I could keep going back forever!! what country will you always keep traveling back to?

just want to say - I don’t support kanye west in any way shape or form, this is a trending audio and I had no idea it was him 👎

cinco de mayo has me itching to go back to mexico cinco de mayo has me itching to go back to mexico 🇲🇽🌵🥑🌶 🌮🌯

did you know that cinco de mayo celebrates mexico’s victory over the second french empire at the battle of puebla in 1862? 40% of americans don’t - they think it’s mexico’s independence day but it actually isn’t a federal holiday at all!

I coincidentally spent cinco de mayo in mexico a few years ago and our resort went all out for the celebrations, including mexico themed drinks and a mariachi band at dinner 🎸🍹

mexico is way more than pretty beaches and good food (although those are great) - from swimming in cenotes to visiting one of the wonders of the world, there’s so much to discover. I can’t wait for my next mexico trip!

this restaurant in luang prabang is set on its own this restaurant in luang prabang is set on its own private section of kuang si falls, complete with a private natural swimming pool and delicious food 🌿🦋🌊

WHERE
carpe diem restaurant at kuang si falls, luang prabang, laos - walking distance from the entrance of the falls

WHEN
open 9am-5pm every day

WHAT
a western lao fusion restaurant set above a private part of the famous turquoise blue kuang si falls. the falls are an extremely crowded tourist attraction (for good reason - they’re beautiful) so this is the perfect place to escape for lunch with a view, take a swim in a private natural swimming pool, and enjoy the falls without crowds

a top thing to do in luang prabang that almost no one knows about - save so you can visit this hidden gem on your laos trip & link in bio for my full luang prabang travel guide
