“Travel Advisors still exist?! Why should I use one?”
- Time: I will save you hours upon hours of researching on the internet and making phone calls, trying to compare different destinations, hotels, transportation, pricing, excursions, weather…the list goes on. Time is a luxury we cannot afford.
- Expertise: I’m a specialist in many travel functions. I will make sure you have all the information ahead of time, and what to expect along the way. You will be up to date on COVID restrictions, passport/VISA requirements, and insurance recommendations. Basically, I’ve got you covered on all the things that are NOT fun about traveling, and are often overlooked.
- Personal: B&B will be with you every step of the way. From the moment you leave your house for the airport, to the moment you arrive home, we are there making sure your trip is as seamless as possible. Someone is available 24/7 to call if you have questions/concerns, or if the unexpected occurs. Today, luxury travel is about more than just a thread count. More and more people desire experiential travel where they can meaningfully engage with a destination’s culture, food, history, and environment. I understand travel is completely personal. As a Travel Advisor, I enjoy getting to know my clients and discovering what motivates them to travel, because it is different for everyone. I create personalized, enriched, white glove experiences for each individual client.
- Information: I’m partnered with a large travel corporation. Meaning, we are contracted and have access to supplier specials, and discounts that are not available to the general public. We are knowledgeable about vetted destinations, hotels, and vacation packages, so we can guarantee your experience will match what you see online. I’m backed by innumerable contacts in the travel industry who can arrange for upgrades, and assist should any unforeseen problems arise while in destination.
- Community: Our hope is that when you book with B&B you’ll want to stick around for awhile and join our community of like-minded travelers. Not only do I have an undying love for travel and this beautiful world, I also have a strong desire to have an impact on environmental issues I care about. Let’s face it, the reality is we won’t have beautiful destinations to enjoy, if we don’t take care of them. B&B doesn’t just book travel. As a member of “1% for the Planet”, we are committed to protecting the beautiful destinations that you visit. “1% for the Planet” certifies that 1% of our sales go towards sustainable travel & climate change initiatives. Together we can make a positive difference in the way people travel, in our community, and ultimately, in our environment (at not extra cost to you) It’s a win-win!

| You know you are looking for a different travel experience, but maybe you aren’t sure what an active vacation means entirely. Or, maybe you don’t know what activities are appropriate for your kid’s ages. On the other hand, maybe you have been on dozens of adventures, but simply don’t have the time or desire to stress over your travel arrangements. No matter your experience, or desired destination, Boots & Bookings will carefully assemble a trip that perfectly suits your personal taste and unique needs. |

There are no hard and fast rules when defining active travel. Typically it means combining relaxation with some sort of physical activity; such as hiking, cycling, skiing, horseback riding, scuba diving, kayaking, or other pursuits. What travelers don’t know, is that you don’t have to exhaust yourself from being active while on vacation. If the term ‘active travel’ sounds exhausting to you, don’t worry, you can make your vacation as active or not active as you like. After all, the purpose of a vacation is to escape and relax. I’m here as your guide to create an itinerary that reflects what travel means to you. So, if you are looking for a tropical getaway where you don’t leave the beach, I will happily provide you with delightful options. No boots required!
escorted tours
Fully immerse yourself in a destination as you drift through mountain valleys, & adventure cycle through canyons and National Parks. Experience true culture when you stop to taste mouthwatering food & wine throughout Europe. Pedal past fairytale castles & lavender fields in Provence, or soar above wildlife on a safari at dawn. These examples barely scratch the surface of options available to you with this travel style.
Clients can rest assured…
- B&B Travel will help match you with the tour that is right for you personally. (We are in contract with industry-leading tour companies).
- B&B prices are guaranteed. Meaning, you will get the same price as you would if you booked direct.

LUXury cruises

dude ranches & ski
There’s something magical about zipping down the slopes on fresh powder, then warming up by a campfire with a glass of champagne, or soaking in the hot tub outside on a blissful winter day. Sign the kids up for ski lessons while you find refuge in the day spa. Whether it’s Vail, Aspen, Park City, or the French Alps, B&B will put together a plan specifically for you. In the off-season, find joyfulness eating family-style on a western dude ranch. Try fly fishing, sailing, mountain biking, or hiking during the day, then attend famous cookouts and campfires at night. Either one of these unique experiences is perfect for a family, multi-generational, or romantic getaway. Whatever the occasion, Boots & Bookings will get you there, and we’ll be sure to remind you… “Grab your boots, we’ll book the rest!”
frequently asked questions
What does your process look like?
Step 1 – I’ll ask you to request a quote form and complete the questionnaire. You can request your FREE, no-obligation quote form here.
Step 2 – Once you’ve submitted your quote form, I’ll be in touch with you via email or phone (whichever you prefer), to begin the initial stages of the planning process.
Step 3 – Once we’ve agreed to work together to design your family’s dream vacation, I’ll send you an invoice for an upfront $250 deposit to secure your reservation. Once you book with B&B Travel, this payment will be applied to the existing cost of your trip. That’s right, no booking fee!
Step 4 – I’ll provide options for you and keep revising them until we are settled on the perfect plan that suits all your traveler’s needs. The major benefit of using a Travel Advisor is being informed about your destination choices so you can make smart decisions on your investment. Our duty is to provide you with that information and educate you as travelers. That is why we will provide unlimited no-obligation quotes until everyone is satisfied, in order to take care of you and your family in the best way possible.
Do you charge a planning fee?
No! Boots & Bookings does not charge a planning/booking fee for our services. We operate under a good faith basis, and like to believe that if you engage in planning with us, you’ll book with us. We do require a $250 deposit upfront that will be applied to the cost of your trip. If you choose to cancel your trip, this becomes a non-refundable deposit to compensate for our time and hard work put into planning your travel experience.
Why should I trust B&B Travel with my investment?
Not all Travel Advisors are created equal. Boots & Bookings strongly believes in continuing education, and is constantly keeping up with industry trends, and completing certifications so we have more tools to help you. We do the research so you don’t have to. B&B is a proud member of the Travel Leaders Network, and accredited by top industry brands, such as Globus Family of Brands, Backroads, Vacations by Disney, and Abercrombie & Kent, to name just a few.
