- Celeste D., traveled to Ireland

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My son and I had a trip if a lifetime and can't thank Darlene enough for her listening to us and helping us plan.

- Frances M., traveled to Alaska

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Darlene was an absolute hero when it came to planning this trip to Italy. My husband had never been out of the country and any time I had been, it had been part of a pre-planned trip - so this was our first time venturing out on our own. Darlene was there every step of the way making sure we thought about the things we didn't even know to ask about - transportation, travel documents, hotel preferences, language barriers, the lot. I'd had so many conversations with Darlene about this trip that when I was there, I found myself referencing her over and over again to my husband to the point my husband and I both looked at each other and wondered how we would have done this without her! Our flights on the way back were delayed because of a variety of issues and she stayed in contact making sure we were taken care of. HIGHLY recommend booking any and all travel through Darlene, she knows her stuff!

- Grace W., traveled to Italy

- John C., traveled to Alaska

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Darlene did a great job. We got everything we wanted. She checked in with us every step of the way and made everything easy as could be. I will definitely be using her for all of my vacation plans.

FAQs

What do you do as a travel advisor?
I craft personalized travel experiences tailored to your unique needs and desires. Think of me as your personal travel concierge—I handle all the logistics, from curating destination options and booking accommodations to arranging transportation, tours, and activities. Whether it's a quick weekend escape, a romantic honeymoon, or a complex multi-destination itinerary, I take the time to understand your vision, preferences, and budget to design a trip that's not just a vacation, but a truly unforgettable and seamless adventure. My goal is to transform your travel dreams into reality, ensuring every detail is perfect so you can relax and enjoy the journey.
What types of travel can I book with you?
Virtually any type of travel you can imagine! From luxurious resort getaways and thrilling safaris to vibrant city breaks, charming vacation home rentals, and those once-in-a-lifetime adventures you've always dreamed of—I handle it all. Whether it's a quick weekend escape or an extended international journey, I can curate the perfect trip for you.
What if I actually enjoy planning my travel?
That's fantastic! While some travelers love the planning process, even seasoned travel enthusiasts can benefit from working with a me. Think of it this way: you handle the fun part—researching destinations and choosing hotels—and I take care of the rest. Simply let me know which hotels you're interested in, and I'll book them for you, unlocking exclusive perks like complimentary breakfasts, room upgrades, early check-in/late check-out, and more—all at no extra cost to you. Plus, I can offer valuable insights and insider tips about the properties that you might not find online, like potential room views or hidden gems. It's like having a well-connected travel expert in your corner, ensuring your dream trip is not only perfectly planned but also enhanced with VIP treatment.
How much do your travel services cost?
I can book most travel partners at no extra cost to you – plus you get all those Fora Perks. Partners pay advisors for each booking (same as the big booking sites). For more complicated multi-stop itineraries, I may have a planning fee. This will always be transparently presented.
What do you mean by perks?
"Perks" are those extra touches that elevate your vacation from ordinary to extraordinary. Beyond handling all the logistics—from on-the-ground transfers and hotel bookings to crafting detailed itineraries—I leverage my extensive network of partnerships with over 8,200 hotels and travel providers worldwide, including prestigious names like Virtuoso, Four Seasons, Rosewood, and Belmond. This access often unlocks exclusive benefits for my clients, such as complimentary room upgrades, daily breakfasts, resort credits, and VIP treatment. Essentially, working with me opens doors to a world of elevated travel experiences. But don't just take my word for it; I'm happy to share glowing testimonials from my satisfied travelers.
How can I make the most of my experience when planning a trip with you?
Communication is key! The more information you share, the better I can tailor your trip to your specific preferences. Tell me everything—whether you're a golf enthusiast, require a kids' club, have a passion for off-the-beaten-path adventures, or have specific dietary restrictions or allergies. Sharing these details allows me to curate options that perfectly align with your needs and desires. I also love hearing about your favorite hotels and past trips you've enjoyed, as this provides valuable insight into your travel style. If you're new to working with a travel advisor, I'm happy to provide a guide on what to expect, ensuring a smooth and collaborative planning process.
