Planning Fee Packages

Planning fees cover the research, time, and expertise that go into building your trip before you ever book anything. I spend hours comparing routes, checking seasonal factors, vetting properties, and coordinating logistics that don’t show up in a quick search. This work happens whether or not you end up booking through me, and it’s separate from any commissions I may earn from hotels or tour operators. The fee reflects the value of getting a trip planned right the first time, without you having to do that research yourself.
