Good to know
How the advisory works, what it costs, and what to expect when you book.
An independent travel advisor, affiliated with Fora Travel. Fora is the host agency — it provides the booking platform and the preferred partner programmes; I do the planning and look after your trip. You deal with one person throughout.
Through Fora I have access to preferred partner programmes — Virtuoso, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Rosewood Elite and others — which typically add daily breakfast, a hotel or spa credit, an upgrade where available, and flexible check-in or check-out. The room rate is usually the same as booking direct; the benefits come on top.
Hotel-only bookings are complimentary — the hotel pays a commission for the introduction, and your rate stays the same. For fuller itineraries involving flights, ground arrangements or multi-stop planning, I'll be upfront about any planning fee before we start.
No — I also plan full trips. Where it makes the trip better, I work with vetted local travel agencies and operators on the ground for tours, drivers and experiences, so you get local knowledge rather than a generic package.
Yes, absolutely. Bookings are charged to your own card — usually directly by the hotel or provider — so you keep your card's points, protections and benefits. In some cases the provider may ask for an extra layer of identity verification, such as a card authorisation form; I'll walk you through it if that happens.
Not at all. The first chat is just that — a chat. I'll come back with ideas and rates, and nothing is booked until you say so.
The quickest way to an answer is to start the chat — it takes about five minutes.
