FAR BEYOND SIMPLY BOOKING YOUR TRAVELS. 


​If you are an active, adventurous and curious traveler with a yearning for history, cultural, culinary, nature, wildlife and active experiences (all or some) woven into your vacations, that is what I do.  I want to help you plan and book your Elbowroom Inspired vacation.  

My services include many different FEATURES (research, planning, collaboration, booking, re-booking, cancellations, managing, monitoring, supplier partner follow-up, one point of contact, flexible hours) and BENEFITS (saving you hours of time, energy, stress, frustration, overwhelm, money, peace of mind, access, tapping into my knowledge and industry relationships, extra amenities, advocating on your behalf).  

At the end of the day, what's really in it for you?  My relationship with you.  


Unlike when you book with online booking engines or direct (with representatives who have limited resources, can't or don't advise on alternatives or other travel experiences),  I'm always looking out for you, looking out for your valuable travel investment. 

You are never a number, the next call in queue.  My approach is tailored and personal TO YOU - curated experiences to your style, needs and desires.  After all, there is no trip like YOUR trip.  

I MAKE PLANNING EASY. LET'S GET YOUR ADVENTURE STARTED!

Expertly planned. Every time.  


​A tremendous amount of time, work and knowledge goes into creating your itinerary and supporting you from the planning stages until you come home.  We always start with a complimentary, no obligation chat.  When we decide to work together, Custom and Premium planning options include the following: 
  • Full trip consultation
  • Research (cruises, tours, excursions, destinations, accommodations, etc.)
  • 2-4 itinerary proposal outlines 
  • Detailed planning and refinements for one itinerary 
  • Booking, confirmation and management of all parts of the trip: cruise, tours, accommodations, transfers, day tours, activities, spa appointments, etc.
  • Travel protection recommendations
  • Access to additional amenities, other benefits and special rates through our network when available  
  • Detailed itinerary documentation - electronic format
  • Supplier follow-up, if needed
  • Access by zoom, phone and email before, during and after the trip
  • Insider travel tips specific to your destination and travel style 

Planning Options

​​
​CUSTOM, TAILOR-MADE PLAN - from $600 per itinerary / family
Sometimes you just want everything "your way".  This plan is perfect for travelers who want a fully customized, independent itinerary dictated by your preferences - start and end dates, destinations, types of accommodations, etc.  Fees may increase on trips greater than 12 days, with multiple (3+) destinations, complexity or larger groups. 

PREMIUM PLAN -  from $350 per cruise/land tour per family
The most popular service.  Working within your budget, I take care of the legwork and logistics.  The hardest part for you is counting down the days until you leave!

DYI CRUISE AND LAND PLAN - Fee waived
I make and manage the booking, provide basic documentation and up to 30 minutes of consultation. Perfect for when you already have the itinerary picked out.

PLANNING fees are non-refundable, non-transferable and due when you decide to hire me after the initial discovery call. ​ ​Clients find they easily recoup the planning fees through time and energy saved plus all the value added to their travels.
