Modern Travel is a boutique service for travelers who want more than a booking — they want a thoughtfully curated experience. Working with a travel advisor gives you access to personalized planning, expert destination guidance, VIP perks at top-tier hotels, and stress-free coordination from start to finish. You’ll save time, receive better value, and unlock experiences that aren’t available to the public.

Changes happen, and I’m here to help. Minor adjustments are typically included, but more significant changes — like reworking an itinerary or shifting group logistics — may incur an additional fee depending on timing, complexity, and whether the trip is already in progress. I’ll always communicate any impacts or costs clearly before proceeding so you can make informed decisions.

Start by filling out the Modern Travel Inquiry Form. This helps me understand the basics — where you’re headed, why you’re traveling, and what kind of support you’re looking for. Once submitted, I’ll follow up with a 20-30 minute consultation to align on your vision & next steps. From there, I’ll begin crafting a personalized proposal based on your preferences, budget, and goals. You’ll never feel rushed — this is your journey.

Traditional travel agents often rely on pre-packaged deals and limited inventory. As a modern advisor, I act more like a concierge: I research, curate, and advocate for every part of your journey — from selecting the perfect boutique hotel to arranging once-in-a-lifetime experiences. My work is deeply personal, backed by a powerful network of partners, and centered on your unique needs — not a sales quota.

I design trips of all shapes & sizes — solo escapes, romantic getaways, luxury honeymoons, family vacations, celebration groups, wellness retreats, and executive offsites. Whether you’re looking for a serene beach escape, cultural immersion, adventure, or all of the above, I craft your journey around your personal travel goals & style.

Every trip includes:

• A discovery consult to understand your vision

• Customized hotel and itinerary recommendations

• Booking of accommodations, transfers, and tours

• VIP perks (upgrades, breakfasts, early/late check-in when available)

• Support during travel for any changes or emergencies

For more complex or high-touch trips, I also offer concierge-style support, custom maps, and travel guides.

No. I’m compensated by travel partners like hotels, tour operators, and cruise lines through built-in commissions — at no extra cost to you. In fact, you’ll often receive added perks, upgrades, or amenities that aren’t available when booking directly.

Yes, for select trips. Planning fees help cover the time, expertise, and care that go into creating a seamless travel experience—especially for complex itineraries or high-touch trips.

Fees typically range from $150–$750+ depending on scope, duration, and group size. I’ll always communicate this upfront, and the fee is due before we begin planning.

You can absolutely come to me for hotel-only bookings — especially if you want to receive VIP benefits (like upgrades, breakfast, spa credit, and more). I have access to preferred rates through FORA Reserve and Virtuoso partnerships that are not available to the public.

Fora is a modern host agency for travel advisors, giving me access to top-tier partner networks, insider perks, and a platform to streamline your bookings. Through Fora, I’m able to offer exclusive rates and benefits while maintaining my boutique approach to client service.

No problem — if you’ve already chosen a destination or even made some bookings, I can step in to help enhance the experience, organize remaining logistics, or secure upgrades. Just let me know what you’ve already handled and I’ll fill in the gaps with ease.
