A TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR THE WELL-PLANNED & WELL-FED
Hand-picked stays, insider access, and the kind of details that turn a good trip into a great one.
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. Boutique European hotels, safari lodges, private villas, first-class rail: every itinerary is built around you.
HOW I CAN HELP
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, travel advisor, and full-time healthcare professional.
My full-time job is keeping patients safe through the most vulnerable moments of their lives — while juggling big personalities, exacting preferences, staffing surprises, and the emergency that rewrites the whole day's plan. Your trip gets the same vigilance: curveballs caught before you ever see them, details handled behind the scenes, a plan that holds even when the day doesn't. That's why travel with me feels easy. And when I do this job right, you're wide awake for all of it.
How a demanding healthcare career and a camera roll full of food and architecture turned into a travel advisory — 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. What happens next: you hear back from me personally, about your actual trip. No autoresponder, no packet of brochures.
Step 2 — Securing Your Spot
Once we've confirmed we're a good fit, I collect a planning fee: $200 for domestic trips, $750 for international. It reserves my time, kicks off the deep work, and comes back to you in full once you've taken your trip.
A note on the fee: it's returned after you travel, and if you decide not to book, it isn't refunded (it covers the design work), but the itinerary I build is yours to keep either way. That keeps the process intentional on both sides: you're investing in expert planning, not a sales pitch. Planning fees are waived for returning clients and referrals.
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.
And you're never left wondering where things stand. We settle the big picture together first (cities, flights, hotels), and only then move into the details worth obsessing over: the guides, the tables, the experiences.
Step 4 — Your Itinerary, Built Together
You'll receive a real 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 nothing gets booked until you've seen it and said yes.
Step 5 — Booked, Handled, and Supported the Whole Way
Once you approve, I take it from there: bookings, confirmations, special requests, travel insurance options. Everything lives in one live itinerary you can pull up on your phone, and it updates as each piece is confirmed — so you always know what's booked, what's next, and what's handled (spoiler: all of it). Before you leave, you get a final trip document with everything in one place. While you're traveling, I'm reachable if anything shifts. And when you're back, I genuinely want to hear how it went — the goal is that somewhere on the way home, you're already thinking about where to go next.
