Stress-Free Travel for Life
Are You the Type of Client Who Would Benefit from a Long-Term Travel Planner?
(and What That Actually Means)
Let’s talk about investments.
When most people think about travel, they picture the end result: the Amalfi sunset, the poolside Aperol spritz, the perfectly packed carry-on. But here’s the truth -
Travel isn’t just something you book.
It’s something you build.
And for many of my clients, travel is one of the most meaningful investments they make. It’s how they reconnect with loved ones, celebrate milestones, rest, reset, and feel alive again. But the time and energy it takes to plan those experiences? That’s the part nobody talks about. It’s not just about booking hotels - it’s about designing a lifestyle.
That’s where long-term travel planning comes in.
If you’ve ever said, “I wish someone would just handle this for me,” then this post is for you.
What is a long-term travel planner, anyway?
Let me clear something up straight away: I’m not a traditional travel agent. Yes, I book flights, hotels, and beautiful experiences - but that’s just the beginning.
A long-term travel planner is your on-call expert, curator, and advocate.
I get to know your family’s needs, your travel style, the little quirks (like which hotel knows to leave sparkling water, not still), and I plan everything accordingly.
Whether it’s half-term in Europe, a ski trip over winter break, or a 50th birthday bash in the south of France - we’ve got it covered.
It’s like having a personal concierge who only works for you. And instead of starting from scratch each time, we build on what we’ve learned from your past trips to make every journey feel even more seamless.
You won’t need to Google “family-friendly restaurants in Madrid” at midnight or wonder if a certain resort actually looks like the photos. I’ve done the vetting. I’ve been there. And if I haven’t, I know someone who has.
Who benefits most from this kind of service?
This isn’t for everyone - and that’s the point.
This kind of service is tailored to people who treat travel as a lifestyle, not just a one-off splurge. If that sounds like you, read on:
Families who travel often
Whether it’s spring break, summer holidays, or long weekends with the grandparents, families benefit hugely from consistency and ease. I keep track of things like preferred room layouts, which hotels offer proper cribs or kids’ menus, and how to balance kid-friendly with still-feeling-like-you’re-on-holiday.
Entrepreneurs and executives
You’ve built a life you love - now let someone else make sure your travel matches that. My high-achieving clients don’t have time to scroll reviews or hunt for the “best” room category. They want it done right, beautifully, and quickly.
Newlyweds or couples planning a travel-filled life
You’re in your travel era and want to make the most of every moment - honeymoons, anniversaries, babymoons, milestone birthdays. Imagine having one person to coordinate it all, from Paris in the spring to Bali in the winter.
Empty nesters and retirees
You finally have the time and freedom - now you need the right partner to help you make it count. I work with couples and solo travelers who want experiences that feel intentional and elevated, not packaged and impersonal.
What do you actually get?
Here’s what working with me looks like:
A monthly flat-fee retainer, tailored to your household and needs
Unlimited travel planning & concierge-level support
Seasonal travel ideas sent directly to you (no more last-minute stress)
Insider access to luxury hotels (yes, I call them personally before you check in)
Custom itineraries, restaurant reservations, activities, and transfers…all handled
Coordination with stylists, photographers (should you want to capture your memories!) and local teams on the ground
A sense of calm, knowing someone has your back while you’re halfway across the world.
It’s like having a luxury travel department built into your life.
Case study: From Budget to Bespoke
One of my favorite stories is about a client who came to me looking for “budget-friendly” options for a summer in Italy.
She was thinking practical, simple, let’s-just-make-it-work. But after we spoke and I shared what was possible with a little more intention - cooking with a local family in Umbria, swimming off a private boat in Capri, a sunset dinner overlooking Lake Como - her mindset shifted.
She realized she didn’t want a cheap trip. She wanted a memorable one.
And she trusted me to help her design it in a way that was smart, thoughtful, and worth every penny. She still tells me it was one of the best decisions she ever made.
Is this worth it? Let’s talk value.
Here’s the truth: this isn’t about saving money. It’s about saving time, energy, and stress - and getting far more in return.
Think about all the other investments you make:
A financial planner for your wealth
A personal stylist for your wardrobe
A private chef or trainer for your wellness
This is the same. It’s someone who knows what you like, what you need, and how to elevate the entire experience with intention.
You don’t need to know what’s trending in Portugal or when to book Japan’s cherry blossom season. I do.
How to know if you’re ready
Here are five signs it’s time to hand over the planning:
You find yourself saying “We should go somewhere” but never make it happen
You spend hours researching but still feel unsure
You travel often but every trip feels chaotic or rushed
You’ve outgrown group tours and want experiences that feel personal
You’re ready to invest in quality over quantity—and make travel part of your lifestyle
Sound like you? We should talk.
Let’s connect.
I’m currently opening spots for new retainer clients beginning this spring.
This model is flexible, bespoke, and based on your household and how often you travel.
If you’ve been dreaming of making travel a consistent part of your lifestyle - done well and as an investment rather than a hustle - this is your sign to make it happen.
