Hotel/Cruise Booking

If you’re traveling anywhere in the world, I can help! Allow me to work on your behalf to book a hotel, guest house, cruise, chateau, or other accommodation… complete with my research and suggestions on where to stay, and often with PERKS that you can’t get by booking directly or with a third party website or app. As a Fora Travel Advisor, I can get you connected! You pay the same, but receive way more value!

Full Service Vacation Planning

Not only can I book your hotels and other lodging, but I can also develop your full itinerary. From restaurant reservations or cooking classes to VIP brewery tours or wine tastings, I can assist with helping plan the vacation of your dreams with my food and drink connections and expertise. Just let me know where you’re interested in going and what you’re passionate about, and I’ll handle the rest! This is your direct line to all of my experience and service!

I’ll Travel with YOU!

Really want to go all out? I can help book all of the accommodations with perks, plan out the food and drinks and other stops along the way, and I can be there with you to experience the world. Have a dream food & wine festival you’ve always wanted to attend? Imagine me being there with you. It’s like having me curate you own Travel Channel show! Plus, we’ll work out VIP treatment, service, and overall experience.

Anthony Bourdain

“If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food, it's a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”
