What I Do & Who I Help: A Personalized Approach to Travel Planning
Why I Do This (And Why It Matters)
I used to think that planning a trip meant just booking a flight, choosing a hotel, and ticking off a few sightseeing boxes. But over time—after living abroad, helping others travel, and doing it myself—I realized something:
Travel isn’t about logistics. It’s about how a place makes you feel.
The best trips aren’t the ones that follow a rigid schedule—they’re the ones that connect with you personally. That leave you changed. That’s the reason I became a travel advisor.
What I do is more than just planning trips. I help people discover places in a way that feels thoughtful, smooth, and fully their own. Whether you’re a couple chasing a meaningful escape, a solo traveler ready to unplug, or a group trying to pull off something unforgettable—I make the process easier, smarter, and centered around what really matters to you.
What I Offer
Let’s be honest—travel planning can go from exciting to overwhelming pretty fast. There’s too much information, too many options, and not enough time to make sense of it all.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a certified travel advisor who actually lived and worked in Costa Rica for years. I’ve walked the beaches, driven the back roads, made local connections, and explored places far beyond the resort zones. That first-hand knowledge lets me offer something different: personalized travel support, grounded in real experience.
Custom Itineraries – Tailored to your interests, schedule, and budget
Destination Expertise – Especially in Costa Rica and Latin America
Group Travel Coordination – For milestone celebrations and shared adventures
Culinary & Cultural Trips – Authentic, flavor-filled journeys with local depth
Supplier Access – Deals and perks through trusted travel partners
End-to-End Support – I handle the logistics so you can enjoy the journey
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with Canadian travelers who want more than a generic vacation. Most of my clients come to me because they want something that feels personal, well-organized, and emotionally rewarding.
You might be:
Planning your first trip to Costa Rica and don’t know where to start
Tired of sorting through outdated blogs and endless YouTube videos
Looking for something low-stress but deeply memorable
Part of a group that needs one person to bring it all together
I also proudly serve travelers in Windsor-Essex County, including LaSalle, Tecumseh, Amherstburg, Kingsville, Leamington, Essex, Harrow, and Lakeshore. If you're in Southwestern Ontario and prefer working with a local advisor, I’d love to help.
Why Work With Me
I bring more than just a planning skillset to the table. I bring the kind of care and insight that only comes from living it—not just Googling it. This isn’t about being fancy or complicated. It’s about helping you travel with confidence, clarity, and joy.
Ready to Chat?
You don’t need to have it all figured out. That’s my job.
I offer a free 15-minute travel consultation to talk about your ideas, your goals, and whether working together makes sense. No pressure—just a genuine conversation.
