The most personal of my travel services, a consultation call with me will look like you telling me about yourself and your trip, and me giving you recommendations, advice, and assistance in real time. This call could be about any needs or questions you may have, from starting with creating a budget, to traveling in general, to specifics about a destination, to anything else you may need. I can't wait to get to know you and work with you to create the trip of your dreams!

What do I need to know about ahead of time before our call? (i.e. Do you already have a destination in mind that I can research and be ready to talk about? Do you need help working with a specific airline?) (Just tell me a little bit about the topic of our call.)

I am happy to provide itineraries and recommendations for anyone, but I specialize in travelers on a budget, having traveled to 20 countries as a college student! Domestically, I've been raised on road trips, visiting 4/5 of the U.S. states. I want to work with you to create the trip of your dreams, with the food, activities, history, culture, and sightseeing YOU want to discover in the world! Let me help you expand your borders!

Where is your destination (be as specific as possible, i.e. cities, regions, states)?

How many travelers are coming? How old are the travelers?

Do you have any can't-miss sights or activities already in mind? List as many as possible (food, activities, hikes, sights, attractions).

Do any travelers have allergies or limitations that would impact certain activities or foods?

Do you have dates or a time period planned for your trip?

What are your preferred modes of transportation while traveling (i.e. rental car, taxi, walking, train, plane, bus, tram, metro)?

Interlaken and the surrounding area was truly the most charming gem in the Swiss Alps! Any visit to Switzerland isn't complete without time spent in the Interlaken area!

It's no wonder why the rich, long-lasting, preserved history of the ancient Mayans have gained the title of one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The various sites throughout the Quintana Roo and Yucatán states are each unique, awe-inspiring, and worth a visit to Mexico to explore!

Studying abroad? Taking a gap year? Enjoying retirement? Traveling across the world for an extended time can make packing a daunting task. Here is everything I would pack for three months in Europe (from the beaches of Greece in September to hiking in Ireland in November) as a female traveler!

Do you have the planning part of your trip handled, and just need some ideas from someone who has been before to make your trip the best it can be? Ask me for a recommendation list for countries, states, cities, and regions! Choose whether you want food, activity, museum, sightseeing, or multiple options on your recommendation list. Tell me things you love, and I'll work with you on creating a list of things involving your likes that you shouldn't miss out on in your destination!

What categories of recommendations are you looking for? Be as specific as possible (i.e. restaurants, coffee shops, museums, churches, architecture, history, tourist attractions, outdoor activities, hiking trails, etc.). You can also pick multiple categories.

Give me a list of your favorite hobbies that might affect what you would want to do while on vacation (i.e. "I love reading", "I'm a history teacher", "I love trying new foods", "I look for adrenaline-pumping activities", etc.)

Are there any restrictions or limitations within your group that may affect what you can do while traveling (i.e. kid-friendly activities, dietary restrictions, physical limitations)?
