Choose between customized itinerary planning or my full concierge planning services

Customized Travel Itineraries


I create personalized itineraries tailored to your style, pace, and priorities, so you can focus on the experience, not the details. This is the happy medium between doing it all yourself and the full concierge booking service you get working with a travel advisor.

There are no agency commissions to worry about, just one, clear, up-front service fee. The booking is completely in your court. I’ll put my years of experience and industry contacts to work to create a trip that will check every box and then some, because when it comes to world travel you don’t know what you don’t know, and I’ll make sure you don’t miss a thing.

This service is ideal if:

  • You’re comfortable booking flights, hotels, and activities yourself
  • You want a clear, detailed plan to follow once you arrive
  • Your trip is relatively straightforward or short-to-medium in length
  • You prefer a one-time planning solution without ongoing management
  • You want professional insights, pacing, and recommendations, without full concierge support

Client Testimonials

My relationship with clients is not purely professional, it’s highly personal. I take the time to get to know my clients, their preferences, passions, and travel dreams, because that’s the only way to design experiences that feel uniquely yours. Every itinerary I create is a reflection of my client’s vision, elevated with the personal and exclusive touches that transform the incredible into the unforgettable. But don’t take my word for it.

  • I’ve known Kristen for a while so when it came to planning my birthday weekend with the girls I went directly to her. Kristen found the perfect luxury wellness resort, complete with baby goat yoga, farm-to-table meals, and a private spa session just for our group. It was restorative, elegant, fun and so well thought out. She made the planning effortless so we could focus on reconnecting and relaxing.

  • Our Alaskan cruise was the trip of a lifetime. Kristen took care of every detail booking us on our favorite cruise line to arranging unforgettable excursions. The highlight was a private helicopter ride to a remote glacier, where we enjoyed champagne with a view we’ll never forget. As retirees, comfort and ease are important to us, and Kristen delivered both with impeccable service and care. We felt completely taken care of every step of the way.
    Linda & Robert S.
  • Are you kidding me! Kristen crafted the most unforgettable Italian getaway for our anniversary. From a cozy gondola ride in Venice to a private car that took us to wine tastings all around Tuscany and a luxurious stay in an actual castle, every moment felt made just for us. I’m not sure anything could beat this trip. Thank you, Kristen!
    Natalie & Brian W.
  • “Our Thailand vacation was an absolute dream. Kristen booked us a stunning private villa overlooking the Andaman Sea, complete with a personal chef, it was pure luxury. The activities she recommended were top notch, from a private boat tour of the Phi Phi Islands to scuba diving and seeing our first whale shark!!!! This wasn’t just a vacation, it is an experience we will never forget.”
