Your Questions, Answered

Honestly? You don't need one. You could spend your evenings twelve browser tabs deep into visa requirements or trying to figure out whether that lodge is actually as remote as it looks or just photographed that way.
Or you could just tell me where you want to go — or that you have no idea but you want it to be extraordinary — and let me handle the rest.
The world is extraordinary. Let's make sure your trip actually reflects that.

Every Wild Road journey begins with understanding how you want to travel—not simply where you want to go.
1. Tell me what you're dreaming of. Start with a travel inquiry form so I can learn a little about your plans, preferences, and priorities.
2. Let's connect. I'll review your inquiry and, if we're a good fit, we'll schedule a complimentary discovery call to explore your ideas and discuss how I can help.
3. Let's make a plan. For hotel bookings, my services are complimentary. Curated hotel recommendations require a refundable $100 credit card guarantee. For custom itineraries, we'll agree on the scope of work and planning fee before getting started.
4. Bring the journey to life. I'll research and develop recommendations tailored to you. Hotel options typically take two to three business days; custom itinerary proposals generally take one to two weeks, depending on complexity.
5. Travel with confidence. Once the details are finalized and bookings are confirmed, I'll bring everything together in a digital itinerary so you have the information you need in one place.
And when you return? I'd love to hear about your experience. The best part of travel is often the stories we bring home.

Many hotels compensate travel advisors through commissions, which allows me to offer hotel booking services at no additional charge to you.
When you book through Wild Road, you may also receive preferred partner benefits such as room upgrades, breakfast, hotel credits, or other amenities, depending on the property and rate.
For more involved services, such as a fully customized itinerary, a separate planning fee applies. We'll always discuss that upfront.

Not necessarily! In many cases, I can access the same rates you'd find booking directly, sometimes with additional benefits such as complimentary breakfast, property credits, or priority consideration for upgrades.
Rates and benefits vary by property and availability, so I'll help you evaluate the options and find the best overall value for your stay.
-
In many cases, yes! Reach out and we'll see if I can step in as agent of record — layering our VIP perks onto the reservation you've already made, with zero changes to your booking and zero extra cost to you.
-
Absolutely! Not every great escape requires a passport or weeks away.
Whether it's a weekend at a beautiful coastal resort, a few nights in wine country, or a spontaneous city getaway, I'm happy to help you find somewhere special.
And through my hotel partnerships, I may be able to arrange added benefits such as breakfast, property credits, or room upgrades—making even a short getaway feel a little more extraordinary.
-
Not always! Hotel, resort, and cruise bookings are generally complimentary, as I'm compensated through commissions paid by travel partners.
For more involved services, such as designing a fully customized itinerary, a planning fee applies. This reflects the time, research, and thoughtful coordination that go into creating a journey tailored to your interests, travel style, and priorities.
We'll discuss the scope of your trip and any applicable fees upfront, so you'll know exactly what to expect before we begin. There's no fee to submit an inquiry or have an initial discovery call.
