Frequently Asked Questions

We get these questions a lot.
Here are our best answers...

In high season (time of year varies by destination) we need six months notice but a year in advance is not too early to engage us.  

Our bucket list is extensive.  But if we haven’t yet been to your dream destination, we work with travel partners all over the world with on-ground knowledge and expertise to build your custom itinerary.

We make money from itinerary design fees clients pay us upfront.  This compensates us for our time to research, create and book your custom itinerary.  We are also paid commissions from travel suppliers once our clients have completed their travel. 

A travel advisor provides a more comprehensive process to travel than a travel agent.  This starts with a thorough research and itinerary building process to support to the client while traveling.    From the discovery call to the return from travel, a travel advisor is a collaborative partner to their client.  

We can ensure every traveler has a unique,  high-quality, personalized trip.  Each itinerary is extensively researched. There is nothing cookie-cutter about our process.  


For travel to Spain, we are certified Spain Travel specialists.  We know Spain having lived and traveled extensively there. We have in-country partners to add additional knowledge and expertise to our own.  

Of course, you can plan your next vacation.  The internet is rich with travel options of every flavor and makes everyone a travel agent.  However, our clients often find therein lies the challenge.  It is often confusing to wade through all the available information and options to plan the vacation of your dreams.  And it takes lots of time.  We have the experience and partners to sift through the options and save you a precious resource, your time.  

While our expertise and passion is in and about culinary travel, we can still help you create a custom itinerary that meets your “have-to-have” needs and expectations.  For instance, we can help you create your dream vacation to commemorate a personal milestone (birthday or honeymoon) or plan a vacation to an exotic location that has been on your bucket list for way too long

Yes, we provide white-glove, high-touch planning and communication from our first conversation until you return home from your vacation.  Our fees cover extensive research, itinerary design of  immersive experiences, travel bookings, and support during your trip.  We also charges nominal fees to book air and rail travel.
