How to work with a travel agent?
After two decades working alongside top travel editors and producing global press trips as a travel publicist, we design magazine-worthy journeys for travelers like you.
You don’t need to be a travel writer to receive the VIP treatment.
We spend our time researching and personally vetting the world’s best hotels from iconic five-star resorts to design-forward boutique townhouses, while maintaining close relationships with trusted guides, concierges, and hospitality partners across the globe.
Through ongoing 1:1 partnerships, site visits, and industry events, we secure preferred access, thoughtful amenities, and seamless service so your travel experience feels effortless and elevated.
Whether it’s a fall foliage weekend in Vermont, a multi-country journey through Southeast Asia, or a milestone celebration abroad, we curate travel with discretion, precision, and care.
Our team is backed by Cadence Travel’s global network, endorsed by Forbes Travel Guide and affiliated with the Virtuoso Luxury Network — giving you access to elite partnerships and the strength of a respected global travel consortium behind every trip.

Our Process
1. Discovery
New clients begin with a traveler intake form followed by a complimentary Discovery Call. This conversation allows us to understand your goals, preferences, past travel experiences, and comfortable investment range.
There is no such thing as oversharing — the more we understand, the more seamless your experience becomes. Travel is inherently personal, and we want to get to know your travel style.
2. Travel Design Investment
For bespoke itineraries, planning fees begin at:
$500 per trip ($250 per person); a group trip rate can apply
Fees vary depending on destination, complexity, and number of travelers.
This planning investment secures our time, research, industry relationships, and strategic oversight. We work for you (not travel brands) and dedicate significant behind-the-scenes effort to designing a seamless experience tailored specifically to your needs.
Because we intentionally limit the number of trips we take on at any given time, this ensures focused attention and thoughtful execution.
Planning fees are confirmed after the Discovery Call once scope and expectations are aligned.
3. Curation & Execution
We present thoughtfully curated options, refine details collaboratively, and manage bookings, confirmations, and logistics from start to finish.
Throughout the process, we advocate on your behalf with our preferred partners to secure amenities, recognition, and personalized touches.
Travel Investment & Expectations
Luxury travel spans a wide range of price points. Establishing a comfortable budget range before we begin allows us to curate options that align with your expectations and avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.
While we specialize in four-star properties and above to ensure service standards, we work with a range of travelers who value expertise, access, and efficiency, whether for a celebratory milestone or a meaningful long weekend escape.
If you’re unsure what a destination typically requires, we’re happy to provide guidance.
Flexible Booking Access — On Your Schedule
For clients who already know where they’d like to stay and do not require full itinerary design, we offer access to our private label, preferred partner hotel booking tool.
This allows you to book independently at your convenience, even late at night or over a weekend, while still receiving:
Complimentary breakfast
Room upgrades (when available)
Resort or property credits
VIP recognition and priority status
There is no additional cost for these benefits.
Should you later decide you’d like strategic support, we are always here to step in.
A Long-Term Partnership
Just as you would rely on a trusted accountant or financial advisor, a travel advisor is your strategic partner over time.
Many of our clients work with us year after year — mapping milestone trips, family journeys, and bucket-list adventures thoughtfully across seasons and life stages.
Travel is an investment in time, memory, and connection.
We are here to ensure it’s exceptionally spent.
