Why I Choose Fora (And Why You Should Too)

Experience travel, reimagined.

Planning travel can feel like a part-time job you didn't sign up for. Between comparing endless options, worrying about missing the best deals, and hoping everything actually works out as promised, the excitement of your upcoming trip can get lost in the logistics. That's where my partnership with Fora Travel comes in, and why it might just change how you think about booking your next adventure.

Fora: The Modern Travel Agency

The Network That Opens Doors

Through Fora's global network, I have access to something most travelers never see: the inner workings of the travel industry. We're talking about partnerships with over 5,990 hotel properties and connections to major preferred partner programs from Virtuoso to Four Seasons and beyond.

What does this actually mean for you? Those little extras that can transform a good trip into an unforgettable one—complimentary room upgrades, welcome amenities, resort credits, and priority reservations. Even if your dream property isn't on our preferred list, we can often still work our magic to secure valuable perks. Plus, with preferred partnerships spanning everything from Expedia and Viator to all the major cruise lines, we've got your travel style covered.

Planning That Doesn't Feel Like Work

The anticipation of travel should be pure joy, not a source of stress. When you work with me, you're not just getting someone to book your flights and hotels—you're gaining a travel partner who cares about the details that matter to you.

Whether you're dreaming of a simple weekend getaway or planning an elaborate multi-country adventure, my role is to handle the complexity while you focus on the excitement. Think of it as having an inside friend in the travel industry who knows which restaurants are worth the hype, which tours actually deliver, and how to navigate those inevitable travel hiccups with grace.

Where Technology Meets the Human Touch

Fast Company recently named Fora one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2025, and there's a reason for that recognition. While traditional travel agencies grapple with outdated systems, Fora has figured out how to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technology with genuine human expertise.

This isn't about replacing the personal connection—it's about enhancing it. The technology helps me find you the best rates and manage every detail efficiently, while the human element ensures your trip reflects your actual preferences, not just what an algorithm thinks you might like. It's the best of both worlds: smart tech working behind the scenes and a real person who remembers that you prefer aisle seats and can't start your day without good coffee.

The Reality Check

If you caught my earlier post about the myths and realities around travel advisors, you know I'm not here to convince you that DIY travel planning is impossible. Of course you can book your own trips—the question is whether you want to, and whether you might be missing out on experiences and peace of mind that make working with an advisor worthwhile.

The travel landscape has evolved dramatically, and so have the professionals who navigate it best. Today's travel advisors aren't just booking agents; we're your advocates, your problem-solvers, and sometimes your lifeline when things don't go according to plan. Travel the way you want, but better. Ready to explore The Fora Advantage? Let's start planning your next adventure.
