why should I use a travel advisor?

“Aren’t travel agents a thing of the past?” Not at all! With travel demand at an all-time high, it is more essential than ever to have an expert assisting with planning your upcoming travels and guiding you every step of the way. By curating custom experiences, I can take your trip from ordinary to extraordinary thanks to my carefully cultivated network of in-destination partners.

01. quality assurance

I can guarantee top quality accommodations, cruises, and tours through my extensive network of preferred partners. These properties and operators have been vetted and tested, and are guaranteed to more than exceed your standards, meaning no more sorting through endless reviews online to find the perfect fit!

02. save time & stress

Travel planning is very time consuming and sorting through hundreds of options can be enough to make you slam your laptop shut! Information overload is often one of the top factors impeding trips from being booked. Allow me to do the legwork so you don’t have to, saving you valuable time and energy!

03. upgraded perks

Thanks to my partnerships with the top 4 and 5 star hotel networks in the industry, you will never be an anonymous guest again. Say hello to VIP treatment, and look forward to upgraded perks and amenities such as upgraded rooms, free breakfast, spa credits, early check-in, late check-out, and so much more!

06. firsthand knowledge

Travel has been a hobby and passion for as long as I can remember, and I have been fortunate to travel to over 50 countries in my lifetime. It is likely that I have been to your dream destination, and in the event I haven’t—don’t worry! I have an extensive network of experienced colleagues to connect with who can provide firsthand knowledge in the event that I cannot!

05. custom experiences

Say goodbye to boring, generic tours! When you book with me, I can curate the exclusive experiences you have only dreamed of — think after-hours access to the Vatican, guided temple tours with renowned archaeologists, art retreats in Florence, and pickleball cruises in Croatia!

04. 24/7 support

Making every trip (no matter how big or small) extraordinary is my goal, and I will be there every step of the way! Whether it’s a missing dinner reservation or an issue with the hotel room, I will pick up the phone and sort out any issues so you can get back to enjoying your trip!

client testimonials

Carly & Ryan || St Lucia

“Sarah was amazing when planning our honeymoon for Saint Lucia! The planning process was so seamless because of her and our honeymoon was everything we could have wanted and more! Both resorts exceeded our expectations and gave us double upgrades!”
Sean & Kaitlyn || Netherlands & Belgium

“My husband and I would have been SO lost in the Netherlands without Sarah's guidance! I could tell that she spent a ton of time researching this region for us. Our goal was to see as much as possible and she absolutely delivered by filling our 10-day trip with a variety of tours & sightseeing. Every hotel we stopped at had a personal note or gift from her which speaks to her hospitable spirit!”
Megan & Kathy || Épernay, France

“Sarah is a lifesaver! When our original plans fell through, she stepped in and orchestrated an incredible alternative within just 48 hours. We ended up with a private tour at a local champagne house, complete with a tasting and a decadent 5-star meal prepared by a private chef. It was an unforgettable experience thanks to Sarah's quick thinking and impeccable planning. Highly recommend her services!”
Brian & Miranda || Santorini

“Sarah did a fantastic job and I highly recommend working with her when planning a trip. She was thoughtful and well coordinated from planning and into the trip. Everything from airport transportation to excursions and restaurant recommendations were fantastic. In addition, she was very responsive to our questions and helpful getting things sorted if there was a concern. Again I highly recommend working with her.”
Betsy & Damon || Costa Rica

“Sarah was an invaluable resource when it came to planning our trip to Costa Rica! She was very patient with us through the planning process and always presented options that were within our budget and interests. She was prompt with communication and provided a detailed itinerary prior to departure. We highly recommend Sarah's trip advisor services and can't wait for her to help us plan our next trip!”
Carolyn & Jim || Thailand

“We were nervous to take a trip so far and in a new country where we didn't know the language. Sarah had set everything up from start to finish and we were so comfortable. We not have to ask twice about what to do and where to be, and transportation, tours, hotels, flights were so seamless. The individuals/company she partnered with in Thailand were so great and we could not have asked for a friendlier, knowledgable and helpful team! We can't wait to book with Sarah again!”
