A travel advisor helps coordinate the details of a trip—from timing and destinations to accommodations and logistics—so everything fits together smoothly. You could plan on your own, but working with an advisor brings experience, vetted recommendations, and support throughout the process.

I specialize in nature-forward travel and bring a background in environmental science, wildlife and fisheries, and outdoor planning to every trip. That means destinations, timing, and experiences are chosen with intention—not just what looks good online.

Your trip isn’t just booked — it’s shaped around what you want to see and do, backed by years of knowledge that informs timing and location.

I plan wildlife viewing, nature-focused, and outdoor travel for a range of experience levels. My work often centers around places like Maryland and Alaska, along with other destinations that offer meaningful time outdoors.

We start with a conversation about your interests, comfort level, and timing. From there, I build options that align with what you want to experience, refine them together, and handle the logistics once everything feels right. More details about the planning process can be found on my Services page.

As involved as you’d like. Some travelers want to collaborate closely, while others prefer to hand things off. My role is to support your style and make sure the final plan fits.

Basic travel planning services may be included through partner support, but many travelers prefer deeper custom planning — from detailed itineraries to logistics and insider recommendations — which involves a planning fee. Fees reflect the level of research, coordination, and customization involved, and I’ll clearly outline what’s included before so you can decide if it’s the right fit. More about the fee structure can be found on my Services page.

You absolutely can book on your own. Many travelers work with me to save time, avoid mismatched timing or logistics, and feel confident that the trip they’re planning aligns with what they actually want to experience. Others also work with me for extras such as free room upgrades, credits, and free breakfast (if available), that they may not have access to on their own.

Travel pricing can vary based on availability, inclusions, flexibility, and support. When I present options, I make sure you understand what’s included so you can compare accurately and choose what works best for you.

If you’re wondering whether working together makes sense for your trip, I’m happy to talk it through. Reach out and tell me a bit about what you’re planning, and we’ll take it from there.
