“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
― Gustave Flaubert
Take the trip.
We all dream of seeing new places. Maybe you want to escape your everyday routine. Maybe you want to explore other cultures and foods. Maybe you want to learn more about a hobby that interests you. Maybe you want to stand where historical events took place. Or maybe you have a bucket list to check off. Whatever it is, proper planning can make all the difference. As a personalized travel planner, I can eliminate that stress for you. Depending on your needs, I can offer assistance in a variety of ways.

What vibe are you looking for?
Before we choose a location, many times we have an understanding of the type of trip we would like to take. A vibe, per se. Will this be a relaxing getaway or an adventurous, active one? Do I want to be around a beach or surrounded by the mountains? These are decisions that could make choosing a location easier.

Where would you like to go?
Choosing a location can be difficult at times, while other times it’s obvious. Several factors play a role in deciding on a destination. Cost, time, and accessibility are a few elements that come to mind. By examining those factors, your options will be narrowed down. Whether you want to cruise along the Mediterranean, lounge on the beaches of Turks and Caicos, ski through the snowy mountains of Tennessee, visit historical monuments in Europe or Greece, or explore the colorful personalities of culture in the Big Apple, I can help you create the trip of your dreams!
What’s your budget?
Do you have a number in mind? It’s important to determine how much you are able to spend, then begin researching the cost of different destinations. Depending on the time of year, some destinations, normally out of budget, may be attainable! Of course, tailoring your plans to fit your budget is something that I can help with! There are so many options, especially with the travel industry booming and the various promotions always circulating!
