Seven perks you're probably not getting
Exclusive upgrades, resort credit, and a real person when a flight disappears. They could be attached to the booking you were going to make anyway. Add your name and email and I'll send the list, plus the how you can get them without costing you a thing.

Richer, Deeper Travel
The world is full of generic trips, but your journey shouldn't be one of them. I believe travel should be transformative, not tiresome. That's why I help travelers like you experience curated, stress-free journeys built on personal expertise and insider connections, so your trip is richer, deeper, and uniquely your own. Forget the endless research and second-guessing. I handle the details. You collect the memories, fully present with the people you came for.

My Approach
Your journey deserves my dedicated attention. Share a few details about your travel ideas, and I'll contact you to schedule a brief call to discuss your vision. After our conversation, I'll begin the careful crafting of your unique adventure.
And if you're wondering what a simple booking, like a hotel or a cruise costs, you're in luck. It costs you nothing. My travel partners pay me, not you. I'll talk to you soon when you book your free personal consultation by clicking the button below.
Not sure which of the plans below fits?
Start with the call and we'll figure it out together.
01
DEFINED — No Fee
Already know where you want to stay, but want the perks only an advisor can get you? Or a second set of eyes to confirm you've picked the right cruise?
The Defined Plan is for you. Tell me the cruise or hotel you're considering, and I'll handle the booking, secure extras like upgrades and onboard credits, watch for price drops and pass the savings back to you, and share the insider tips that make a trip. And it costs you nothing. My travel partners pay me, not you.
02
DESIGNED — $$
Want expert help planning your next getaway, without the stress of doing it yourself? The Designed Plan is for you. I handle the research and bring you the best options, tailored to what you actually want. From transfers and tours to the perks that come with my partner network, you relax and let me take care of the details.
03
DISTINCTIVE — $$$$
Want it all handled, start to finish? With the Distinctive Plan, the entire journey is built around you: a custom itinerary, real-time updates while you travel, priority help if a flight goes sideways, and a concierge in your corner. From private experiences to hard-to-get dining, I take care of everything, so you can simply make the memories.

Real people.
Real Experiences.
Marjorie arranged a trip to Club Med Turks and Caicos for our group of 44 friends in February 2026.
She set up a Zoom call so we could meet each other before the trip, organized two private dinners, a welcoming cocktail party, and a celebration for an anniversary and birthday inside our group.
My friends all commented on her organization, attention to detail, and quick response to questions. We have already booked our next trip with her, and more friends are joining.

Turks and Caicos
Marjorie's deep, firsthand knowledge of Italy shines through in everything she does.
Because she’s been there so many times, I implicitly trusted her with our itinerary and relied on her excellent recommendations.
Her foresight is unmatched. She knew exactly what we needed to keep in mind before departure and while traveling. Always quick to respond and calm under pressure, she handles every detail perfectly.
If you want a stress-free vacation curated by a true expert, this is who you hire. We had a blast and I cannot wait to go back...with Marjorie's help, of course!

travel to Italy
Our recent trip to Venice, Milan and the Lake Como region was the most relaxed and enjoyably stress free we have ever experienced!
What a pleasure to not have to worry over every detail knowing they were already taken care of. Our advisor, Marjorie seemed to anticipate all our wants and needs.
Calm in the face of sudden schedule changes she was quick to problem solve and assure our continued comfort.
In one instance she negotiated with a restaurant owner to open a special section of his restaurant to accommodate our large group for dinner with just a few hours notice! Easily accessible and quick to respond, she allowed us to simply experience and enjoy!!

Ms Dufek had to deal with MULTIPLE requests for changes, and did so without missing a beat! She also arranged for a tour guide and advised us on ground transportation options.
FANTASTIC experience using her services in Santiago!
