Not at all — in fact, using a travel advisor is more valuable now than ever. With endless options online, travel planning can feel overwhelming and time-consuming. A trusted advisor filters through the noise, protects your time, and uses expert insight to guide you toward the best experience, not just the best deal.

Booking with a travel advisor gives you:

• Personalized recommendations tailored to your style and budget

• Access to possible perks or upgrades you won’t find online

• Stress-free planning (no calling hotels, restaurants, or tour companies yourself!)

• Expert help coordinating every detail, from flights and airport transfers to excursions and spa appointments

• Ongoing support before and during your trip, so you’re never left to figure it out alone

Booked and Blissed offers a luxury-level experience with expert service that goes beyond the basics. I specialize in:

• Solo travel that’s empowering and seamless

• Couple escapes and honeymoons that feel romantic and stress-free

• Beach resorts and Caribbean all-inclusives

• Cruise vacations with trusted, premium cruise lines

• Adventures across Asia (Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, Bali)

• Domestic expertise in top destinations like Florida, California, Hawaii, and Las Vegas

When you work with me, you're not just booking a trip. You're designing a memorable, curated escape you’ll love from the first flight to the final photo.

Booked and Blissed is built on the belief that travel should feel exciting, not exhausting. From our first consultation to the moment you return home, you’ll receive thoughtful, customized service, helpful reminders, and beautiful planning documents to keep everything organized. Whether it’s securing a romantic dinner reservation or recommending a hidden gem excursion, I take care of the details, so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

Because great travel starts with a real conversation

At Booked and Blissed, I believe your trip should reflect you — your style, your pace, and your definition of bliss. That’s why every planning experience starts with a personal consultation.

Consultations allow me to:

• Understand your travel goals, preferences, and non-negotiables

• Ask the right questions to avoid miscommunication or overlooked details

• Recommend the best package for your needs (especially if you’re unsure where to start)

• Build a personal connection, so your trip doesn’t feel cookie-cutter

This one-on-one time is the heart of the planning process. It helps me craft a trip that’s not just beautiful on paper, but also meaningful and memorable from start to finish.

Travel advisors are perfect for any trip where you want:

• A memorable experience, not just a basic itinerary

• Help navigating options you’re unsure about

• To save time, avoid stress, and feel supported throughout the process

Whether you're planning a quick getaway or a bucket-list escape, working with Booked and Blissed ensures your trip is well thought out, beautifully organized, and totally you.

Fully customized trip plans typically take 2–3 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of your itinerary and destination. This ensures we have enough time to research, tailor, and finalize all details to fit your unique travel style and preferences.

Rush options may be available for an additional fee. Just let us know your timeline!

I take on a limited number of clients each month to ensure that every trip gets the attention and care it deserves. If your travel dates are coming up soon, I recommend reaching out early to secure your spot.

It might seem that way at first, but cheaper doesn’t always mean better. When you book online, you're doing all the work yourself with limited information, no personalized guidance, and no backup when something goes wrong.

Here’s what you’re really getting when you work with Booked and Blissed:

• Expertise & Customization I match you with the best options for your style, budget, and goals, not just what an algorithm suggests. You get curated recommendations, not copy-paste lists.

• Time Saved Skip the hours (or days) of research, comparing tabs, and figuring it all out alone. I streamline the process so you can focus on the fun part, getting excited for your trip.

• Exclusive Support From dining reservations to spa bookings and private transfers, I take care of the details that most online sites overlook—no need to email vendors or sit on hold with customer service.

• Avoiding Costly Mistakes Booking the wrong resort, misunderstanding cancellation terms, or missing key logistics can turn an “affordable trip” into an expensive headache. I help you avoid that.

• Real Value, Not Just Discounts

I don’t promise the cheapest trip. I promise a better, smoother, more personalized travel experience, and that’s priceless when it comes to peace of mind.

A planning fee is a one-time, upfront payment for the time, research, and expertise required to design your custom travel experience. This includes destination research, hotel and flight curation, activity suggestions, and sample itineraries tailored to your preferences.

Planning fees vary depending on the package you choose (Wanderlust Plan or Blissful Escape), and are non-refundable due to the time and effort involved.

A service fee covers specific tasks outside of itinerary design, such as booking flights, coordinating transfers, reserving dining or spa experiences, or making itinerary changes. These fees are typically charged per service or added as optional upgrades to your selected package.

No. All planning fees are non-refundable, as time and research are invested into every trip recommendation. Please see the Booking & Refund Policy for full details.

Behind every itinerary are hours of expert research, comparison, vendor communication, and personalized curation. The planning fee ensures you're getting high-touch, professional guidance, not a generic online search result.

Yes — if you start with a smaller package (like the Wanderlust Plan or Premium Trip Planning Session) and decide to upgrade to a more comprehensive service, your original planning fee can be credited toward the new package.

This credit is only valid within the time frame outlined in your post-consultation email. After that window expires, a new planning fee may apply.

No — most packages already include core services like hotel research, itinerary suggestions, and curated experiences. Add-ons like flight booking, transfers, or spa/dining reservations can be added à la carte if needed.

Yes. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, honeymoon, anniversary, or corporate retreat, we design experiences that reflect your vision and exceed expectations.

While our service fees are non-refundable, we will do our best to assist with changes or cancellations based on the terms of your booked services and vendors. Travel insurance is highly recommended.

For groups of four or more, a custom quote is required.
