A Travel Advisory Hour: Your Travel Second Opinion
Before you commit to a hotel, retreat or itinerary, bring your plan to a 60-minute consultation. We look at the timing, travel pace and accommodation choices together, using over thirty years of experience in tourism, travel and hotels.
You leave the conversation knowing what I would keep, what I would reconsider and which questions still need an answer before you book. If you need help developing the journey further, your CA$50 fee is credited toward a Journey Planning Week.
What a Travel Advisory Hour is
A Travel Advisory Hour is a paid, 60-minute one-to-one consultation with an independent travel advisor. You bring one real thing — a journey you're weighing, a plan you half-trust, or the sense that you're worn down and unsure what you need — and I give you a straight read on it. It is advice, not a booking, and not therapy.
What you leave with
During the consultation, we identify what works in your plan, where the pace or hotel choice may not fit, and what you should check with providers before booking. You receive practical recommendations in the conversation. For a researched written journey plan, choose a Journey Planning Week.
Who it's for
People weighing a trip, a retreat, or a season of rest, who want an independent read before they commit time and money. If you already have a plan and want a second opinion, this is the hour for it.
How the fee works
The hour is CA$50. You reserve a time and pay when you book. If we go on to a Journey Planning Week, the CA$50 comes off the week — so the hour costs you nothing if you continue. And if it gives you nothing you can use, say so before we hang up and I'll return the fee.
