"Ann Marie planned the most breathtaking trip to Sedona for us! From the perfect boutique resort nestled among the red rocks to the private jeep tour at sunset, every detail was flawless. She even arranged a surprise stargazing experience that left us speechless. I never knew travel could be this seamless and stress-free. I’ll never plan another trip without her!"

"Waking up in a cave hotel and floating over Cappadocia in a hot air balloon was an experience straight out of a fairytale! Ann Marie crafted an itinerary that balanced adventure and relaxation perfectly. From a private pottery workshop in Avanos to a sunrise picnic with the best local delicacies, she thought of everything. This wasn’t just a trip—it was a dream come true!"

​FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:​
How much do your services cost?
For most individual and small group trips, my travel planning services are complimentary, as I am compensated by preferred travel partners. However, for complex itineraries, highly customized experiences, or large group travel (typically 10+ travelers), a professional planning fee may apply. This ensures dedicated research, coordination, and concierge-level service tailored to your group’s needs.
​
If a planning fee applies, it will be discussed upfront during your consultation. Schedule a consultation to receive a customized quote for your trip.
Do you offer payment plans?
Payment options depend on the vendors, properties, and travel partners involved in your booking. Many hotels, cruises, and tour operators offer deposit-based reservations with final payments due closer to departure, while some require full payment upfront.
​
If you prefer a structured payment plan, I can identify vendors that accommodate installment payments or suggest alternative financing options. We will review all available options during your consultation to find the best solution for your trip.
Why should I book through a travel advisor instead of planning on my own?
Working with a travel advisor saves you time, provides access to exclusive perks, and ensures a stress-free experience with expert recommendations and personalized service. My goal is to handle every detail so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
What destinations do you specialize in?
I design travel experiences worldwide, with a focus on luxury, adventure, and bespoke itineraries. Whether you’re looking for a city escape, a cultural immersion, or a relaxing retreat, I tailor each trip to your unique preferences.
Can I make changes to my itinerary after booking?
I strive to offer flexibility. Depending on supplier policies, modifications can often be accommodated. For VIP clients, concierge services are available for real-time adjustments during your trip.
How far in advance should I start planning?
For the best availability and pricing, I recommend planning at least 3 to 6 months in advance for international travel and 6 to 12 months for destination weddings or special events. However, I can also assist with last-minute travel when possible.
What if I need assistance during my trip?
Whether it’s a last-minute reservation, an itinerary change, or an unexpected issue, I am available to assist you. However, while I will do my best to help, changes and solutions may depend on vendor policies and availability. For added peace of mind, I recommend travel insurance with 24/7 assistance services.
The Advisor
Ann Marie
Wanderlust-driven storyteller sharing local experiences in global destinations.
I’ve had a front-row seat to the beauty of multiculturalism through my experiences, the most glaring being my marriage to an immigrant from a country that no longer exists but whose rich culture has deeply influenced my life. Sharing in that culture while raising my children has been an incredible journey. My love for travel ignited in high school when my best friend’s family introduced me to the world beyond my hometown. Our trips to Mexico and Aruba awakened a hunger for exploration that has only grown since. I’ve had the privilege of traveling to breathtaking places like Ubud, Bali, the serene Po Lin Monastery in Hong Kong and various popular spots in Mexico. I’ve explored 28 states across the US, including Alaska and Maui, as well as Italy and Croatia — each destination leaving a lasting impression. And, not unlike most of us, my journey has allowed me to wear several hats throughout the decades — daughter, wife, mother, graduate student, research administrator, nonprofit leader, yoga instructor... I even shoveled horse manure for money! I’ve loved fiercely, faced painful losses and experienced both the highs and lows of life. And each of these personal experiences deepened my appreciation for the diversity of people, cultures and garnered respect for each of the unique paths we are on. I believe that travel is about connection — both with the places I explore and the people I meet along the way. So I took the leap to help create a community of explorers, dreamers and supporters through my partnership with FORA. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!
