Your Summer Trip, Handled

For many, summer is precious. It might be your only time away from work with the kids. Or when you finally have time to take that romantic trip. It’s when we visit loved ones. Regardless of the occasion, travel is always a good idea and often a challenge to plan. Let me take care of all the details, and save you the stress. You deserve a vacation that’s actually relaxing. That’s what summer is all about.

Save time & stress

Summer shouldn’t be stressful. If anything, it’s prime time for relaxation—whatever that looks like for you. Maybe you have an idea of where you want to go this summer, or maybe you need help deciding. In either case, leave online reviews, forums, and generic travel sites behind. Don’t waste hours falling down the online travel abyss, which inevitably leads to lackluster results at best.

Instead, connect me, share your travel goals, tell me where you want to go—or what you like to do, if you’re unsure—and rest easily knowing your trip is in expert hands. I handle all the logistics, planning, and booking, which is especially ideal since summer trips often involve multiple destinations. Maybe you want to hit Hvar and Dubravnik before hopping over Portonovi. Perhaps you want to pair Sardinia with Naples, or Málaga with Tenerife. Maybe you’re traveling with your whole family, all generations in tow. I make seemingly complex trips look easy. Save your energy, stress less, and relish in the knowledge that the details are taken care of.

Personalized everything

I work with you to understand the vibe you’re after, your travel style, your goals, and any special requests. From there, I'll share curated recommendations specific to you—no one-size-fits-all here.

Are you an active family who loves watersports and Ayurvedic spas? A foodie couple who wants a mix of Michelin Stars and street food? Does your child use a wheelchair? I am your personal advocate. I'll design life-changing trips within your budget, and offer that personalized, human touch search engines and generic travel sites simply can’t.

Expertise you can trust

Travel is about how you experience a destination. I'll go above and beyond to make your vacation memorable. I know the best private guide who will get you into the Sistine Chapel before the crowds, which restaurants are worth the hype (and which ones are blissfully undiscovered), which cruise cabins come with the best view (and least amount of noise), which hotel rooms are actually wheelchair-friendly, the best beach clubs, and which hotel pools are so spectacular you’re better off skipping the beach altogether. I'll help you get the most out of your chosen locale.

Exclusive perks & VIP treatment

When you book with me, you’re not just another traveler. I have personal connections with the teams at thousands of hotels, cruises, and other travel partners around the world. Because of these connections, you benefit from VIP status and perks.

That means you’ll be greeted by name, you’re prioritized for room upgrades, and you’ll get free breakfasts. Many hotel partners also offer hotel credits, perfect for hitting the spa or savor rooftop drinks. Our travel partners know when you’ve booked through us, which makes you a VIP guest.

Real humans, real support

Flights change. Mother Nature acts up. Things happen. Despite meticulously planning everything, some things are out of our control. But if something does go awry this summer, I'll do everything I can to make it right. I'll reschedule the cancelled tour—and plan a just-as-epic rainy-day activity instead, find an alternative flight route, book that last-minute spontaneous adventure you just learned about. Fora’s strong connections with on-the-ground partners have a way of making the world open up. Whatever the issue, I am always one call or text away.
