TRAVEL PLANNING, YOUR WAY
Better Trips Start With Better Planning
Some people love being part of the planning process. Others want someone to just handle it.
And sometimes… you already have the trip booked—you just want to make it unforgettable.
Either way, I meet you where you are.
You can use my guides and recommendations to plan your trip yourself (with a little backup if you need it)… have me design the entire experience for you from start to finish… or work together on something specific you want to get just right.
You could spend hours researching your trip… digging through blogs, saving TikToks, and opening 47 tabs you’ll never look at again.
Or—you can use the exact tools, guides, and resources I’ve already created from actually being there.
This path is perfect if you:
- Like being hands-on with your planning
- Want flexibility but still need direction
- Just need help avoiding the common (and expensive) mistakes
You’ll get access to:
- Destination guides + itineraries
- Hand-picked hotels, tours, and experiences
- My trusted affiliate links (aka: the good stuff, not the guesswork)
And if you want a little backup along the way, I offer:
- Travel Strategy Call – map out your trip in one focused session
- Concierge Check – I review your plans before you book
- Budget Blueprint – realistic cost breakdown so nothing surprises you
- Destination Match – figure out where you should go in the first place
- Packing Consultation – because overpacking is a personality trait we’re working on
👉 Perfect for the “I got this… but also help me a little” traveler
This is for when you don’t want to second-guess a single decision.
You want someone who’s been there, done the research, and knows how to make a trip flow—not just look good on paper.
I don’t just book trips.
I design them so everything works together.
No backtracking across an island.
No “why did we book this area?” moments.
No realizing too late you picked the wrong hotel vibe.
We’ll hop on a quick 15-minute call to talk through your trip, your travel style, and what you’re looking for.
I’ll also walk you through:
- My planning process
- How I work with clients
- What to expect (including fees)
This call is all about making sure we’re a good fit—on both sides.
👉 Perfect for the “just tell me where to show up” traveler
SIDE NOTE: I only take on a limited number of full planning clients and focus on destinations I’ve personally experienced. Because your trip deserves more than recycled recommendations and Google searches.
For the part of your trip that deserves more than a basic reservation.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, or just want to create a moment that actually feels unforgettable, I design experiences that go beyond what you’d find on your own.
This isn’t about booking a table and hoping for the best.
It’s about creating something that feels intentional from start to finish.
Depending on your trip, this could include:
- Private beach dinners, sunset setups, or elevated dining experiences
- Thoughtfully planned surprises (for a partner, friend, or even yourself—no judgment)
- Curated excursions or one-of-a-kind experiences tailored to your vibe
- Coordinated details like timing, transportation, and setup so everything flows seamlessly
- Personalized touches that make the moment feel like yours, not something pulled from a package
I work with trusted partners and on-the-ground contacts to bring these experiences to life—so you’re not guessing, stressing, or trying to piece it together from reviews.
Everything is planned with intention, so when the moment happens… you’re fully in it.
👉 Perfect for the “this can’t be basic” moment
Why work with Life, Love & Travel?
You can book your trip anywhere.
But not every booking link is created equal.
I only recommend and link to travel partners I trust—based on real experience, reliability, and how well they actually fit into your overall trip. No random booking sites, no guesswork, no “hope this works out” energy.
When you use my links, you’re:
- Booking through vetted, reliable platforms
- Choosing options that actually make sense for your trip
- Avoiding the overwhelm of sorting through hundreds of questionable choices
And in many cases, these partners offer added value—like better options, smoother experiences, or perks you might not find on your own.
Plus, you’re supporting a small business that’s built on real travel experience, not paid placements or generic recommendations.

Avoid common travel mistakes
Travel planning can feel like a second job — hours of Googling, endless tabs, and constant second-guessing. I’ve been there. The difference? I’ve already done the trial runs, tested the hacks, and uncovered the hidden gems so you don’t waste your time.
When you work with me, you’re not getting cookie-cutter advice — you’re getting honest, personal guidance that fits your style. I’ll help you dodge tourist traps; spend your money where it actually counts and you avoid these common travel mistakes:
