A TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR THE WELL-PLANNED & WELL-FED
Curated stays, insider access, and the kind of details that turn a good trip into the one you'll talk about for years.
Whether it's your first big international trip or your tenth five-star suite, I plan travel that fits the way you actually want to live on vacation — unhurried, beautifully run, and full of moments worth showing up for. From boutique European escapes to legendary safari lodges, private villas to first-class rail, every itinerary is built around you.
WHO I WORK WITH
Whether you're planning your first big international trip or you're a seasoned traveler with a long list of stamps in your passport, every itinerary is built around how you want to feel — unhurried, well-fed, and never bored.
You're planning a milestone trip — a honeymoon, a 40th, a long-awaited Europe itinerary — and you want it done right the first time. Comfortable hotels with character, smart pacing, and someone who has actually been there.
You've stayed in the suites and sailed the small ships, and you're done sorting through generic recommendations. You want a trusted advisor with the relationships, the perks, and the taste to elevate what you already know how to do well.
Honeymoons, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and multi-generational family trips. You bring the people and the occasion — I'll handle the logistics, the thoughtful touches when they're available, and the experiences they'll be talking about long after.
HOW I CAN HELP
From your first big international adventure to your tenth five-star suite, every itinerary is built around how you want to feel when you get there — unhurried, well-fed, and never bored. Tell me where life could take you next, and let's design the trip that gets you there.
MEET YOUR TRAVEL ADVISOR
Founder of Never Bored or Hungry, certified travel advisor, and full-time CRNA.
I bring the same precision to your itinerary that I bring to the OR — with significantly better snacks and considerably more jokes. My job is to plan the kind of trip you'll be telling stories about long after you're home, and to make the planning itself feel easy along the way.
How a CRNA with a camera roll full of food and architecture turned into a certified travel advisor — and what that means for the trip you're about to plan.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
From your first inquiry to the moment you land back home — here's exactly what working together looks like.
Step 1 — Tell Me About Your Trip
Everything starts with the inquiry form. It’s the best way for me to get a real picture of who you are as a traveler — not just where you want to go, but how you want to feel when you get there. Budget range, travel style, must-haves, deal-breakers: the more you share, the better I can match you to something that actually fits. From there, we’ll sort out any key details in writing so we’re on the same page before anything else happens.
Step 2 — Securing Your Spot
Once we've confirmed we're a good fit, I collect a planning fee — typically between $100 and $250, depending on the complexity of your trip. This is what reserves my time and kicks off the deep work.
A note on the fee: it's separate from the cost of your travel and isn't refunded if you decide not to book — but the itinerary I build is yours to keep either way. That structure keeps the process intentional on both sides: you're investing in expert planning (not a sales pitch), and I'm fully committed to building you something genuinely worth using.
Step 3 — The Research You’d Never Have Time For
This is where I go deep. I tap into my supplier relationships, cross-reference properties, review seasonal conditions, check routing and pacing, and find the things you wouldn’t find on your own — the room upgrade that isn’t listed, the guide who makes the experience, the transfer that actually makes sense. I’m not building a generic itinerary. I’m building yours.
Step 4 — Your Itinerary, Built Together
You’ll receive a curated proposal — not a long list of options to sort through, but a thoughtful recommendation with the reasoning behind every choice. From there, you’re as involved as you want to be. Want to swap a property, adjust the pace, or add a day somewhere? Let’s do it. This is a collaboration, and the trip isn’t locked in until it feels exactly right to you.
Step 5 — Booked, Handled, and Supported the Whole Way
Once you’re ready, I take it from there: bookings, confirmations, special requests, travel insurance options, and a final trip document with everything you need before you go. I’m available before you leave, reachable if something shifts while you’re traveling, and genuinely glad to hear how it went when you’re back. The goal isn’t just a great trip — it’s that somewhere on the way home, you’re already thinking about where you want to go next.
