I encourage you to please take a moment to review these policies carefully before confirming your booking. If anything is unclear or you’d like further clarification, I’m happy to walk you through the details.

Limitations of Liability

While I work diligently to ensure your travel experience runs smoothly, I am not responsible for issues caused by third-party suppliers such as airlines, hotels, or tour operators.

This includes, but is not limited to, flight delays, schedule changes, accommodation issues, attraction modifications, or weather-related disruptions.

I’ll always do my best to assist and help resolve any problems, but I cannot be held liable for circumstances beyond my control.

Because Every Detail Deserves Professional Care

These days, it might seem simple enough to handle travel plans with a few clicks online, but genuine travel design goes far beyond that. Real expertise means understanding logistics, anticipating challenges, and creating experiences that fit you perfectly.

As a TICO-certified travel professional, my focus is on your comfort, safety, and satisfaction from start to finish. My professional fee reflects the time, care, and attention I dedicate to every client and every trip.

What You Can Expect When You Work With Me

Tailored Service & Industry Expertise

Your journey starts with a conversation, I take time to learn about your preferences, travel goals, and budget. Then I create options and itineraries designed just for you, complete with insider recommendations and hidden gems you won’t find online.

Continuous Support Before, During & After Travel

Should a flight or cruise be delayed, a room unavailable, or a tour adjusted, you won’t need to wait on hold or handle it yourself. I liaise directly with the airline, hotel, or cruise line to resolve issues and keep your trip running smoothly.

Licensed, Regulated & Transparent

As a TICO-registered advisor, I follow strict professional and ethical guidelines that protect your bookings and funds. You’ll always know exactly what’s included, what’s protected, and what to expect.

Save Time, Reduce Stress

Let me take care of the research, comparisons, and confirmations so you can focus on enjoying your upcoming adventure. I eliminate the guesswork, so every decision you make is confident and informed.

Honest, Unbiased Recommendations

Because I charge a transparent service fee, my advice is based on what suits you best, not what earns the highest commission. Every suggestion is guided by your interests, not supplier incentives.

Why There’s a Professional Fee

Many travel providers, particularly airlines, offer little or no commission. Each itinerary represents hours of research, coordination, and communication all designed to deliver a flawless experience.

My professional planning fee allows me to maintain the level of personal attention, reliability, and care that my clients value. It’s a modest investment that ensures your trip runs effortlessly, even when the unexpected happens.

Think of it as travel insurance for your peace of mind, a small cost for expert support and total confidence.

Communication & Availability

To ensure accuracy and organization, email is my preferred way to communicate.

  • I respond to messages within 24 hours.

  • If something is time-sensitive, please mark it as urgent so I can prioritize it.

  • While you’re traveling, I’m reachable by email, text, or phone for urgent issues or last-minute assistance.

My Commitment to my valued client

When you choose to book with me, you’re not just hiring someone to plan a trip, you’re gaining a dedicated travel partner who takes your happiness personally. From your first inquiry to your return home, I’m here to ensure every detail is smooth, special, and stress-free
