Schedule a Complimentary Travel Consultation Call or submit the Vacation Inquiry so that I can learn about your vacation vision and travel preferences.  Already know the hotel you want?  Head here to add perks.

We'll email notes from our call and either collect a refundable Good Faith Deposit for hotel & destination recommendations, or a non-refundable planning fee for custom itinerary services.

This is where we shine!  We turn your vacation vision into personalized hotel recommendations in 1-3 business days, and an additional 1-2 weeks for a custom itinerary full of excursions and logistics.

Here's where you share your feedback on the proposal or give us the green light to book.  We will collaborate on any changes, and then send for your approval before we make the bookings for you.

Bookings outside our standard scope may incur additional fees.  This includes group size, complexity, multiple rounds of revisions, and rescheduled or canceled trips. We provide full transparency prior to any fees and won't ever charge without your approval.

For hotel bookings, we'll VIP you with the hotel a week before your departure, conveying any special requests and reconfirming VIP perks.  For custom itineraries, we'll deliver your itinerary in a mobile app.

Hotels already set aside a portion of the room price to pay various marketing channels such as Expedia or other in-house marketing efforts.   When you book with a travel advisor, the hotel pays us that amount instead.  Even better, you're supporting a small business, us :)

The rates we're able to secure are either the same price you'd find online yourself, or better (when we have access to exclusive pricing or offers).  In the off chance the rates are slightly higher, the value you're getting surpasses the slight price difference.

Yes, I do.  Coming from a career at Microsoft, I know what it feels like to travel for work.  Not only have I planned corporate retreats for small businesses, I also book those shorter business trips as well, and often pass along the complimentary VIP perks (e.g. breakfast, $100 hotel credit, etc.).  If you already know the hotel you want to stay at, use my Hotel Inquiry form.  Otherwise, I'm happy to provide recommendations.

We might be able to do what's called a Takeover Booking if you booked directly with the hotel.  Please email your hotel confirmation to jen.lyon@fora.travel and we'll ask the hotel to be the agent of record.  This will allow us to add complimentary VIP perks, at no extra cost to you, and there will be no other changes to your reservation.
