Hi, I'm Ellie!

Ellie is a certified independent travel advisor, partnered with a host agency, Fora Travel. Partnering with a host agency provides us access to a huge selection of incredible vendors with exclusive perks for clients. It also means I am an insured travel advisor, and all legal bases are covered. 

In addition to my certification, I draw from over a decade’s worth of personal travel experience and 3 years of detailed travel research and planning experience. 

Fora Travel is a member of Virtuoso—an elite consortium of the top travel providers worldwide—and a preferred partner to thousands of luxury and boutique hotels across the globe, reputable tour guides and private transportation services. These partnerships allow us to offer VIP service, including upgrades, resort credits, and other exclusive amenities—all at no extra cost to you.

It depends on the services you need. For instance, if you're booking hotels/accommodations through us, there’s no charge—and you might even receive discounts or perks! However, we do charge for more time-intensive services, such as planning a multi-destination trip. We also charge for arranging the finer details of your trip, like tours, activities, dining reservations, and rental cars. These services will be quoted on a case-by-case basis.

The moment you decide to travel is the perfect time to get started! For best results with trips that include itinerary building or activity booking, please reach out at least 90 days prior to your trip. 

Yes! Our goal is to design a trip that works for YOU, so awareness of budget is always included in our research. The service costs are set and will be outlined specifically when working with you, but payment plans can be discussed if desired. 

Nope! We can book rental cars, activities and tours, cooking classes, villas or vacation homes. If you have something specific in mind, just send us a message, and we’ll explore the options for you.

We do not book AirBnBs or VRBOs. These platforms list homes by individuals, not by a centralized vendor, and they aren't consistently vetted or monitored for quality. Since we aim to provide you with the best possible services, we don’t utilize AirBnB or VRBO. If you're seeking a vacation home at your next destination, we have access to a range of options that meet high standards.

We do not offer flight booking services because of the numerous variables and liability concerns involved in booking flights for others. We’d be happy to look over a flight plan you are thinking about if you have any concerns. 

Yes! We’ll always confirm with you before booking to see if you have an existing rewards account with a vendor. We are not able to book anything using your saved points as payment, however you can earn rewards points on almost all bookings.  

Our cancellation policy varies depending on the type of booking and the supplier. We recommend checking the specific cancellation policy for your booking before confirming your reservation. All itinerary planning fees are non-refundable upon payment.
