Let’s upgrade your trip

There are several ways I can help to enhance your travel experience!

  • Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just have something unique in mind, I can help to make it unforgettable. e.g. a photoshoot, dinner with a private chef, hot air balloon ride, stage a location for a proposal

  • If you find yourself with a free day on your vacation and want to do something truly special, I can arrange something “wow”. e.g. a day on a glacier via helicopter followed by dinner in a private chalet or a half day river cruise followed by a vineyard tour, wine tasting, and dinner

  • If you would like to explore a city with its history at your fingertips, I can craft a custom solo walking tour or arrange a private guide! Walk at your own pace, stop for drinks or lunch at one of the included recommended stops, and allow me to book entry to sites along your walk. Customize your walk to include only the things you’re interested in seeing!

  • If you’re booking with a tour and would like help extending your stay without the group I’d be happy to help! I can help coordinate time in the same location or use it as a launching point to go on a brand new adventure.

  • If you have already created your own itinerary but would like me to review it, i’d be happy to. I’ll check for errors and gaps, as well as make suggestions. You’ll leave for your trip assured that your hard work will result in smooth sailing.

  • I can also help to take your photos to the next level! I took all of the images on this site while traveling. I have a background in the arts and an eye for detail.

Make it Exceptional

Add-on pricing

Just like a one-size-fits-all trip would better reflect your interests with some tweaking, my fees will be adjusted to reflect your needs, planning complexity, number of travelers, etc. I will send you a quote after we touch base. Return clients whose travel language I’ve already become fluent in will enjoy reduced rates.

I hope to work with you again and again!
