What's It Like Working With Me?
Whether you've never worked with a travel agent before or you're just curious about my processes, I've provided step-by-step instructions below on what to expect and how to get started.
1
Unload Your Baggage
Getting started is easy - tell me what you have in mind! Complete the traveler lead form below. Your responses will provide valuable information I will reference in our free consultation.
Traveler Intake Form 2
Check Your Email & Schedule
Once you fill out the traveler lead form, I'll receive an email with your responses and send you a Calendly link to schedule your free consultation at your convenience.
3
Consultation
During the consultation, we will discuss your responses, and I will ask any clarifying questions I may have. This time is also mainly for me to point out any major concerns regarding your responses. For example, if the budget does not align with your expectations, how can that be overcome? Would you be open to changing your criteria?
You'll have the chance to ask any questions you have about my services as I explain in greater detail what to expect when working with me. Because every trip is a little different, I'll cover specifically what you can expect in your package.
You will not be presented with an itinerary during this consultation. Think of it as a first date.

Fee Payment
If we decide to proceed after our consultation, I'll send you an invoice for my non-refundable planning fee. Once paid, I will begin working on your personalized itinerary.
5
Complete the Traveler Information Form
For most pricing, knowing how old each traveler will be at the time of travel is critical. This form asks for a lot more than your date of birth, but for good reason. If you are traveling internationally, it is essential you take your passport out and check your expiration date—the years tend to fly by! You may know your passport isn't expired, but some destinations restrict how much time you must have left before expiration when visiting.
A form must be filled out for each traveler.

The Big Reveal
This is the moment you've been waiting for! Once your itinerary is complete, I'll contact you to schedule a Zoom meeting. During that meeting, I'll walk you through your option(s) and, most importantly, explain why I chose these option(s) for you and what possible alternatives are.
You'll receive your itinerary via email as well for further review, along with an app invite. Click the link below to get a preview of what to expect.
Please note that the delivery time on initial itinerary presentations can vary based on the complexity of the trip and how many other itineraries I am working on at the time. During our consultation, I should be able to give you an estimated delivery window.
Any and all prices and availability presented are subject to change. While I do not suggest making a rushed decision, please keep in mind that your selections are not locked in unless I specifically state otherwise.

Decision + Deposit
Once you've decided on the details of your adventure, contact me. For most trips, only a minimal deposit is necessary to secure your booking. However, payment policies will depend on the supplier. Making installments once the deposit has been placed is usually possible, but this can vary. I can not guarantee a blanket payment schedule during our initial consultation.
8
Flight Booking Assistance
Undoubtedly, the best way to book flights is directly with the airline using your personal account, which either already exists or is created for the trip. I can dive deeper into this during our consultation, but know that I will suggest specific flights, work them into the budget, and we will discuss the pros/cons and anything related to them. However, once an itinerary decision has been made, the traveler will be responsible for booking the chosen flights using their account.

Pre-Travel Overview
I know how busy my clients are; after all, that's usually why they hired me! During the planning and booking phase, you will be given a lot of information, and while the Travefy app helps keep it all at your fingertips, reminders are also very important.

In-Travel Assistance
Call, text, email, or chat in Travefy if you need me.
Why A Planning Fee?
It's no secret that travel agents make commission selling travel. So why do I charge a fee? So that I can continue to provide the extras.
- 1Individual ApproachThere is a reason I list this first. I can not overstate the emphasis on making sure this trip aligns with your wants and budget. For example, people often want suggestions on the "best all-inclusive in the Caribbean." But I can't answer that unless I know what it means to you.
No brand, location, or lodging type is right for all travelers. There is a reason my Traveler Intake Form, is what some may consider lengthy. - 2Tech ForwardLet's face it: nearly everything in our lives today is controlled by an app—your travel should be no different. When you hire me, you will have access to Travefy's award-winning platform that keeps everything you need for your trip at your fingertips. The best part? Every member of your family can have it on their phone to view. I can speak from personal experience - this is a game changer. Loading the app with the information can be tedious work. Still, live flight updates, a function that allows you to chat directly with me, and the ability to organize and structure your trip to your liking day by day, so all you have to focus on is fun, are worth it. No Wifi or service? No problem. With the tap of a toggle, you can also make your itinerary available offline.
If you haven't already, you can watch this video for a sneak peek of the Travefy Trip Plans App.
Don't worry—even with the app, you can download your trip as a PDF and print it. - 3The Extra MileIncluded in your planning fee along with your trip information, your Travefy itinerary will include:
- A personally curated shoppable packing list, favorite product recommendations to make your life on the go as easy as possible, and some general packing tips.
- If desired, a list of general excursion recommendations for the destination and links for easy booking if you'd rather DIY.
- A list of other useful apps to download before taking off so you never skip a beat.
- Outdoorsy? Not scared of a hike? Let me know and I'll be sure to include suggestions on request.
- Destination information: currency, entry and exit requirements, getting around, attractions, dining, who to contact in case of an emergency, and more.
- A third-party travel insurance quote for excellent trip cost coverage and equally good medical coverage.
