As an independent travel advisor affiliated with Fora, I work directly with my clients to design and book thoughtfully curated journeys around the world. From selecting the right hotel or cruise to coordinating transportation, private guides, dining reservations, and destination experiences, I'm your dedicated advisor before, during, and after your trip.

Fora is my host agency, a Virtuoso member agency, and was recognized by TIME as one of the World's Most Influential Companies for 2026 for modernizing the travel advisor industry. Through my affiliation with Fora, I have access to thousands of preferred hotel, cruise, and travel partners around the world, along with exclusive client amenities and experiences.

Just as valuable is the community behind the scenes. Fora's network includes more than 15,000 travel advisors who regularly share destination knowledge, hotel reviews, cruise insights, and firsthand recommendations from around the world. As part of Fora's Bay Area chapter, I collaborate with advisors who specialize in destinations and travel styles across the globe, allowing me to provide better recommendations and more informed guidance for my clients.

You'll work directly with me throughout your journey. Behind the scenes, you'll also benefit from the relationships, knowledge, and resources of one of the travel industry's most innovative agencies.

Every traveler is different, and every journey should be too.

Some clients come to me for a preferred partner hotel reservation. Others are planning a honeymoon, a luxury cruise, a multi generational family vacation, a food and wine journey, a safari, or a custom itinerary through Europe.

I work with travelers at every stage, from a relaxing weekend getaway to complex, multi destination itineraries around the world. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with young children, as an extended family, with friends, or on your own, every trip is tailored to your travel style, priorities, and pace.

Rather than specializing in one destination, I specialize in understanding how my clients like to travel, then matching them with the destinations, hotels, cruises, and experiences that fit them best.

Absolutely.

Many of my clients carry premium travel credit cards such as American Express Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, or Capital One Venture X, and I encourage them to take advantage of the benefits they've earned.

In many cases, you don't have to choose between your credit card and working with a travel advisor. When you book eligible hotels through me, you'll typically continue to earn your credit card points while also receiving preferred partner amenities that are often comparable to, or even more valuable than, those offered through credit card travel programs.

Through my affiliation with Fora, I can also compare preferred partner rates, exclusive offers, and added amenities across thousands of hotels and travel partners to help you find the best overall value for your trip.

If you're hoping to redeem points for airfare, I'm happy to incorporate those flights into your itinerary while coordinating the rest of your travel experience.

My goal isn't simply to find the lowest rate. It's to help you make informed decisions and create a journey that's seamless from beginning to end.

Often, yes.

One of the advantages of working with an independent travel advisor affiliated with Fora is access to a global network of preferred travel partners. Depending on the property and your itinerary, your reservation may include valuable amenities that aren't typically available when booking on your own.

These may include:

• Complimentary daily breakfast

• Hotel or resort credits

• Priority for room upgrades, when available

• Early check in and late check out, when available

• VIP recognition and personalized welcome amenities

• Flexible preferred rates at many partner properties

Beyond hotels, some itineraries may also qualify for exclusive experiences such as priority restaurant reservations, VIP shopping experiences, airport services, private appointments, or other destination specific benefits available through Fora's preferred travel partners.

I work with many of the world's leading hotel collections and luxury travel brands, including preferred partner programs such as Virtuoso, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Rosewood Elite, Hyatt Privé, Relais & Châteaux, and many more. The benefits available vary by property, travel dates, and availability, and I'll always let you know what applies to your trip.

The goal isn't simply to add perks. It's to make your travel experience smoother, more comfortable, and more memorable from beginning to end.

Travel has never been easier to book. Planning a truly memorable trip has never required more discernment.

My role isn't simply to make reservations. It's to help you make better travel decisions.

I'll help you choose the hotel that's actually worth the splurge, recommend experiences that reflect your interests instead of someone else's itinerary, and coordinate the countless details that transform a good trip into an exceptional one.

My background in international wine, hospitality, marketing, and destination storytelling shapes how I approach every itinerary. Whether you're planning a luxury cruise, a family adventure, a milestone celebration, or a journey centered around food, wine, art, or culture, every recommendation is made with intention.

The result is a journey that feels personal, seamless, and unmistakably yours.

Many hotel and cruise bookings don't require a planning fee because I receive a commission from our travel partners.

For custom itineraries, multi destination trips, and more complex travel planning that requires significant research and coordination, I charge a planning fee. This reflects the time, expertise, and personalized attention involved in designing your journey.

Any applicable planning fees are always discussed and agreed upon before work begins, so there are never surprises.

Absolutely.

Whether you're organizing a family reunion, a milestone birthday, a destination celebration, a corporate retreat, a wine club getaway, an affinity group, or a friends' trip, I can coordinate the details from beginning to end.

Group travel involves multiple travelers and countless moving pieces. My role is to simplify the planning process, coordinate logistics, and create an experience that allows everyone to enjoy the journey together.

Tell me everything.

The best itineraries are built on the little details.

Tell me about the trips you've loved, the hotels you'll never forget, the restaurants you're still talking about years later, and the destinations you've always dreamed of visiting. Let me know if you prefer museums over shopping, boutique hotels over large resorts, guided experiences or independent exploration, or if your ideal afternoon involves a vineyard, a hiking trail, or simply sitting at a café watching the world go by.

I'll also want to know about loyalty programs, accessibility needs, dietary restrictions, travel milestones, and anything else that will help shape your experience.

The more I understand how you like to travel, the better I can design a journey that's unmistakably yours.

Of course.

Many of my clients already know where they want to go. Some have booked their flights. Others have a hotel in mind or a list of places they've been saving for months.

That's perfectly fine.

You don't need to hand me a blank page.

Whether you're looking for the right hotel, restaurant recommendations, transportation, preferred partner amenities, or simply someone to review your plans and fill in the gaps, I'm happy to jump in wherever you are in the process.

Sometimes the smallest adjustments, choosing a different neighborhood, adding an extra night, or knowing which restaurant is worth planning around, can make the biggest difference.

Wherever your planning begins, my goal is the same: to help you travel with confidence.
