About
Travel is awesome! Planning isn't. Specialized travel advisors aren't just for 'lavish' trips — you'll spend more at the airport food court than my services cost. Full 18-day itinerary for your family reunion? Thanksgiving in NYC with the Macy's Parade outside your hotel window? 72 days across Italy using just trains and ferries? A rental car on your business trip? Whatever the trip, I plan it and I book it. Licensed and Insured.
Here's how my pricing works, plainly: I ask for a small refundable planning deposit up front, and every dollar of it comes off your final trip payment when you book with me. It keeps my calendar clear for travelers who are serious about going somewhere — and for them, the planning ends up costing nothing at all.

Khalia went above and beyond to help me sort out a tricky and upsetting issue with an already booked cruise. She stayed with me and always made me feel good throughout the process! I could not have resolved the issues without her. I am forever a client! Thank you Khalia . She is so nice, understanding, and absolutely great at her job!!! It took two days to sort it all out which would have taken me weeks -if ever!!! Please consider her when booking your next vacation!

When a beach trip planned by 40, nineteen-year-old girls falls through just weeks before Spring Break, whom do you call? Khalia
The girls had planned on renting 2 houses at the beach, but plans fell through. They quickly found out that most homes require the signature of someone 25+ and frequently require multiple adults on premises.
When I contacted, Khalia I had just given up hope. However, she reached out to me within minutes. She immediately was able to provide me with some “out of the box” solutions and reassured me that she had multiple avenues that she thought might work. Without any sort of payment from me, she started contacting people and providing me continuous feedback. Not only was she professional and efficient, she also demonstrated an unbelievable amount of compassion for a group of teenagers she didn’t know. Her optimism was contagious and eliminated my nonstop worrying and stress. She ultimately came up with wonderful and feasible solutions and really worked miracles to ensure that the girls had options available. It was clear that she cared about these girls and their happiness. She also made a point of really listening to the whims of the teenagers (i.e. the exact location on the beach the girls wanted to be) and the concerns of adults (i.e. a safe place where the girls could enjoy themselves.). She was able to find them newly renovated accommodations on the beach. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her dedication and kindness.❤️❤️

Khalia was very helpful and very responsive and had some great suggestions. We have not traveled yet and we are still working with her on a few more details but she made the whole process very simple!

Khalia is such a professional! She helped me with every aspect of my trip and even checked in to make sure everything was to my family’s liking. We will certainly hire her again.

When clients pay a fee for my service, it shows that they’re serious about booking travel. If you book with me, I’ll apply your admin fee to your final trip payment.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a discovery call. I want to know exactly what you’re looking for and any special details I should keep in mind. I’ll generate sample itineraries, and we adjust as many times as you need. With your permission, I book the itinerary you choose.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve completed all vendor trainings and attend webinars and in-person events to stay current.
