I rest my case. I need both hands to count on my fingers how many times I’ve found errors in AI itineraries after clients have come to me with concerns. AI cannot do what I do. Trust your travel advisor when planning your hard earned vacation. Isn’t my $450 planning fee worth your peace of mind?

“I relied on that information.”

My February tip to Uganda cannot come fast enough.
Counting the days!
There are just over 1,000 mountain gorillas left on earth. You cannot find them in any zoo, they will not survive.
To sit in the presence of a mountain gorilla is to feel, without question, the full weight of what connects us to the wild. They share 98.3% of our DNA. They grieve, nurture, play and exist in only three countries on earth, Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mountain gorillas live in groups of about 5 to 30 members, including mothers, babies, youngsters, and one or more silverbacks who lead and protect them all.
Their population is growing slowly, carefully, because of rangers, researchers and communities who refused to look away.
On World Gorilla Day, we celebrate them and the extraordinary people protecting them.

Someone recently told me people don’t need help booking travel because they’re capable of doing it themselves.

Totally true. Most people are also capable of doing their own manicures, brewing coffee at home, and running their car through a hose in the driveway.

Yet salons stay booked. Coffee shops stay full. Car washes stay busy on every corner.

Ability was never really the question. The real question is whether someone wants to spend their time that way, or whether they’d rather hand it off to someone who does it for a living.

Planning a trip means digging through reviews, comparing endless options, and hoping nothing slips through the cracks. Working with an advisor means someone already knows the destination inside and out, has relationships that get you more, and catches the details before they become problems.

What you’re paying for isn’t the ability to book a flight. It’s getting your time back, having an expert in your corner, and knowing it’s done right.

Letting loose cowgirl style after 2 back to back conferences, GTM in Palm Springs and Virtuoso in Vegas. A total of 8 days of pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, interactive boardroom presentations, and high-level networking events.

It’s about connecting with other people, making friends, building partnerships with suppliers and having a great time while I’m doing it. Exhausting, but I’ve made so many valuable partnerships with amazing vendors for my clients’ unforgettable adventures! If you’re thinking of future travel, I’ve got some creative ideas and trusted suppliers for you!
