I know travel planning comes with a million questions—that’s where I come in. Below, you’ll find clear answers about how my coaching + planning services work, so you can get back to dreaming about your next adventure.

1. What exactly does a travel coach do?

Travel coaching can mean different things depending on the coach. Some focus on mindset shifts or personal transformation through travel, while others plan retreats or group experiences. 

My approach is different. I believe travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about who you become along the way. A great trip can shift your perspective, bring clarity, and reconnect you with what matters most. But getting there shouldn’t feel like a second job.

That’s where I come in. As a travel coach, I combine expert coaching with bespoke planning to help you:

✔ Refine your travel vision so every trip is meaningful, intentional, and aligned with your goals.
✔ Make confident decisions without the hours of research or second-guessing.
✔ Experience a seamless, curated itinerary—crafted to reflect your unique style, pace, and priorities.

You’ll walk away with a beautifully designed trip that feels effortless and transformational, without the stress of planning it all yourself.

2. How is this different from a travel agent?

Most travel agents focus on booking trips and selling packages. I focus on guiding you through the travel planning process, helping you make intentional choices that reflect your style. You still have control over your bookings but with expert insights that save you time, energy, and second-guessing.

3. Why would I hire a travel coach instead of planning my own trip?

Planning a trip can feel overwhelming, time-consuming, and uncertain. If you’ve ever felt lost in endless research, unsure of your choices, or worried about missing something special, I help eliminate that stress.

✔ You get clarity & expert guidance → No more second-guessing.
✔ You save hours of research → I curate options that fit your exact needs.
✔ You travel with confidence → Your trip feels effortless and meaningful.

4. Can you help me decide where to go if I don’t have a destination in mind?

Yes! My coaching approach includes a Destination Discovery Process, where we explore:

 ✔ Your travel style (relaxing, adventurous, cultural, etc.).

 ✔ The experience you want (romantic, inspiring, transformational).

 ✔ Logistics that matter (budget, travel time, accessibility).

From there, I’ll provide handpicked destination options with insights into what makes each one a perfect fit for you.

This service is included in my Signature Journey package.

5. What’s the difference between your services?

I offer three levels of support based on your needs:

Guided Travel Strategy – $495
✔ 1:1 coaching to refine your travel vision.
✔ Strategy sessions & planning tools for confident DIY booking.

Bespoke Travel Planning – $1,495
✔ A fully customized itinerary curated to your travel style.
✔ Daily recommendations for activities, dining, and logistics.

6. How long does the process take?

For coaching sessions: 2-3 weeks.

For trip planning: At least 4-6 months before your trip, with the process taking 3-5 weeks, depending on the length of your trip.

For highly curated, luxury experiences: 9+ months for premium access, with the process taking 5-7 weeks, depending on the length of your trip.

7. Can I still be involved in the planning process?

Absolutely! My process is designed to be collaborative but streamlined—I guide you through key decisions during our strategy sessions, so we shape the trip together without the stress.

If you already have ideas, preferences, or must-see spots in mind, I encourage you to bring them to our planning sessions. From there, I take care of the details, crafting an itinerary that reflects your vision while ensuring everything flows effortlessly.

8. Do you book my travel for me?

No, I provide expert planning and coaching, but you handle the actual bookings. This gives you:

✔ Full flexibility → You book on your schedule, with your preferred vendors.
✔ Cost control → No markups or hidden fees.
✔ The ability to use points & loyalty perks → Something most agents can’t optimize for you.

9. What happens if my plans change after I’ve booked everything?

Because my approach is all about empowering you to make smart, confident travel decisions, I design your itinerary with built-in flexibility so you’re never locked into a plan that doesn’t work. To help you navigate unexpected changes with ease, I also recommend:

✔ Refundable bookings & travel insurance.
✔ Backup recommendations to adjust as needed.
✔ Stress-free strategies to pivot if needed.

10. Do you offer support while I’m traveling?

I don’t offer on-call concierge services, but depending on your service, I provide:

✔ A detailed itinerary with backup plans so you feel fully prepared.
✔ Digital tools like preloaded maps, itinerary apps & cultural guides.
✔ A post-trip follow-up to refine future travel experiences.

11. Who is your service best for?

✔ Travelers who want personalized, luxury travel without the planning stress.
✔ People who value expert guidance but want control over their own bookings.
✔ Those who want an itinerary tailored to their preferences & style.
✔ Anyone who wants to travel with confidence, ease, and joy.

Who it’s NOT for:
❌ Budget travelers looking for cheap package deals.
❌ Travelers who prefer rigid pre-set group tours.
❌ People looking for full-service booking management.
