It means you pay exactly what I pay — no markups, no added fees.
When I book your travel, I pass along the direct rates I receive from hotels, airlines, and partners. These are often the same or better than what you’d find on your own — but they come with exclusive perks you can’t access through Expedia or Google.
Since I receive a commission from the hotel or vendor (not from you), there’s no need to inflate the cost. My planning fee covers the work — the research, coordination, itinerary design, concierge touches, and tools I provide.
✧ It’s transparent. It’s ethical. And it’s how luxury travel should be done.

Yes — but you pay exactly what I pay. As a certified FORA Advisor, I have access to insider rates and perks through elite hotel programs (like Virtuoso, Hyatt Privé, Hilton Impresario, and more).
No commissions are stacked on top. You’re paying for the planning — not the privilege.
-
No. elsewhere. is a private travel studio. Your rates aren’t discounted — they’re direct access. Most people never even know these rates exist unless they’re a luxury advisor. That’s what you’re getting — access, not algorithms.
-
Your Dream Trip is the travel goal we build together — that ultimate journey you’ve always imagined. It could be Bali for your birthday, Greece for your honeymoon, or South Africa for your sabbatical. Having it planned in advance gives you:
A savings target
A reason to check in monthly
Something to work toward
Priority when sales or upgrades appear
A clearer vision for your travel life
-
When do I book my trip?
A: Whenever you're ready — after the 30-day waiting period.To protect the integrity of the service and ensure fairness for all members, there is a 30-day waiting period before full-service trip planning begins.
Once that window passes, you can book anytime — whether you’re ready to lock in your next adventure or just dream-building for the future.
In the meantime, I’ll be monitoring rates, perks, and opportunities in the background. When the timing is ideal, I’ll let you know — and you can upgrade your trip request to a live plan whenever you're ready.
✧ Luxury is about timing — and I’ve got my eye on it for you.
