Luxury Travel Planning + Personalized Concierge Service
Travel shouldn’t be stressful — it should feel exciting, inspiring, and personal. That’s why every service I offer begins with a one-on-one Travel Discovery Call, so I can understand your vision, style, and needs. From there, I take care of every detail, giving you the freedom to simply enjoy the journey.
Whether you’re planning a solo escape, a romantic trip, a family vacation, or a group celebration, I’ll curate an itinerary that feels tailor-made for you.
Why work with the travel guru?
Because you deserve more than cookie-cutter travel.
Let’s be honest ... planning a trip can be overwhelming. You spend hours scrolling, comparing, and second-guessing. It’s hard to know which hotels live up to their photos, which activities are worth your time, or how to coordinate all the moving parts.
That’s where I come in. I:
-
Save you time by handling every detail from start to finish
-
Give you access to exclusive perks, VIP upgrades, and trusted recommendations
-
Eliminate the stress so you can enjoy your trip instead of worrying about it
-
Bring insider knowledge from visiting 43 countries and building a network of global partners
When you travel with The Travel Guru, you’re not just booking a trip, you’re stepping into an experience designed just for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to your most frequently asked questions in our FAQ section. We've compiled a list of common questions and answers to help you find the information you need quickly and easily.
-
When should I start planning my trip?To plan a smooth getaway, I recommend starting at least two months in advance. For the best selection and pricing, two to three months ahead is ideal. And for those once-in-a-lifetime adventures — think African safaris or luxury world cruises — six to nine months in advance ensures you have every choice available. The earlier we start, the more options and upgrades we can secure.
-
When will I get my itinerary?Your timeline depends on the complexity of your trip, but here’s the good news — I work quickly. I have access to a trusted network of local experts in over 150 countries. This means I can often send you an initial proposal within 7–10 business days of our first consultation. If you’re working on a tight deadline, just let me know and I’ll prioritize your trip so you don’t miss out on your perfect plans.
-
What does the planning fee include?Your planning fee covers everything needed to turn your dream trip into a reality. I coordinate, research, and hand-pick every detail — from accommodations and activities to transfers and dining — so you don’t have to lift a finger. The fee is a fixed rate, based on your itinerary needs. You’ll have one point of contact (me!) and one beautifully organized itinerary.
-
Do I have to pay the planning fee upfront?Yes — and here’s why. Paying the planning fee upfront allows me to start work immediately, securing the best options and rates for your trip before they disappear. It also ensures I can dedicate my full time and expertise to your booking without delays. Think of it as reserving your seat in first class — once it’s locked in, you can relax knowing your trip is officially in motion.
-
Is it worth the investment?If the thought of planning a trip feels overwhelming, this service is for you. My itineraries are designed for people who want to travel in style without spending hours researching and organizing. From the moment you book, I handle everything so you can focus on the fun. All you need to do is glance at your daily itinerary each morning and step into the experiences waiting for you.
-
Is the planning fee refundable?No — the planning fee is non-refundable. This is because it covers the time, research, and insider expertise invested in creating your personalized itinerary. Once you’ve received your first itinerary proposal, you are free to proceed with booking through me, or you can choose to use the plan to book on your own. Either way, you’ll have a professionally designed travel blueprint that saves you hours of work and ensures every detail of your trip is thoughtfully planned.
