About + Services

Let me worry about the details so you don't have to.

Planning is my superpower.

I'm a Chicago-based travel advisor and destination matchmaker, who specializes in curating unforgettable journeys tailored to your unique travel budget, style, and interests. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil nature retreat, a wildlife adventure, or a visually stunning art-inspired getaway, I’m here to craft the perfect experience for you.

With more than 25 years of experience as a strategic marketer, consultant and artist manager, I’ve honed the skills needed to plan every detail with precision and care. You could say planning is my superpower.

I have a deep connection to nature and a commitment to giving back. That’s why I pledge to donate 10% of my travel earnings each year to support whale conservation and research—because travel should inspire us to protect the world we explore. Personally, I’m drawn to cool and cold-weather destinations, where nature, wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes thrive. Let’s plan your next unforgettable adventure!

FAQ

Planning travel — if you have a lot of time — can be fun. It’s what we do! ‍

You’ll still benefit from using a Fora Advisor. Tell us the hotels you’re interested in and we’ll book them for you so you get perks such as free breakfast, a room upgrade, early check-in or late check-out, at no extra cost to you. ‍

Plus, we’ll let you know if we have any intel on the property that may not be obvious online (like the fact that the room you requested looks onto a wall). It’s like having a best friend who works in travel, and who can help you plan your dream trip.

Travel advisors offer a personalized experience that online booking platforms can't match. They save you time and stress. With our industry knowledge and partner connections, we can access better rates, exclusive offers, and VIP perks. A complete travel package booked through an advisor is usually more cost-effective and tailored than what you can find online.

Absolutely, we can handle all aspects of group travel planning, ensuring a successful and stress-free event.

You can almost always find a cheaper rate,  and it is usually a non-refundable member rate. They are not eligible for upgrades or other VIP perks which are exclusive to travel advisors.

To compensate for the hours invested in researching the travel options for each client. Quotes are always free.
