the Plan in Motion
Booked & Ready
First up: a quick, complimentary call (15-30 mins) to go over your travel dreams, must-haves, and ideas. This is where I get to know your style so I can create a plan that’s all you.
I’ll put together a custom travel proposal with handpicked stays and—if you've chosen the Itinerary Essentials or All-in Escape package—ideas for activities, transfers, and a round of edits to make it just right. (P.S. The Stay & Play plan covers accommodations only, so no need for extras or revisions here.)
I secure all your bookings, with VIP perks like free breakfast, room upgrades, and flexible check-in/late check-out when possible. Your final itinerary arrives as a PDF, app, or web link, giving you everything you need in one place. Now? Just pack, relax, and enjoy the trip.
the process
1. Why should I work with a travel advisor instead of booking it myself?
2. What services do you offer, and how do your packages work?
3. How does the travel planning process work?
4. How much does it cost to work with you, and what’s this “planning fee”?
5. Will I pay more if I book a hotel with you instead of by myself?
6. Do you book flights?
7. How far ahead should I reach out to start planning?
8. Do you handle restaurant reservations?
9. Can you plan my itinerary if I’ve already booked my accommodation?
10. Can you book Airbnbs?
Let’s be real—you’ve got enough going on, and vacations are meant to be a break, not another to-do on your list. We handle it all, from the research and bookings to all the little details, so you don’t have to. That means VIP perks, upgrades, and access to insider connections for a unique experience. All you have to do? Show up and relax.
Who might not need a travel advisor? If you’re just looking for a simple flight home, you do not need us. Our services are best for travelers looking to elevate their experience or create a custom itinerary without the hassle.

We offer three service levels to suit different travel needs: Stay & Play focuses on accommodations—we’ll help you pick the perfect spot, handle the booking, and secure VIP perks (think free breakfast, WiFi, room upgrade and early check-in/late check-out, when available), all with no planning fee.
Itinerary Essentials is ideal if you want structure with flexibility; We manage accommodations, activities, and transport, with a planning fee tailored to your trip. For a seamless experience, there’s All-In Escape, a complete travel takeover where we coordinate everything from hotels and dining to activities and transport, adding a VIP touch with a planning fee based on the complexity of the trip.

First up: a quick chat to get to know what you want. Then, we’ll pull together a proposal based on your travel dreams. Once you’re in, we start locking in the details—bookings, logistics, all the essentials. We’ll keep in touch as we wrap up your itinerary, and we’ll be going over all the details before your trip.

The Stay & Play package is commission-based, so there’s no planning fee. We get a commission from the hotel, you get perks at no extra cost, it’s a win-win. The Itinerary Essentials and All-In Escape packages have a planning fee, based on the trip’s complexity. We’ll break it down in our first chat, so you’ll know what to expect.

10. Can you book Airbnbs?
Most of the time, the price is EXACTLY the same as booking by yourself. If there’s ever a slight difference, it’s usually minimal—and the value of the exclusive perks far outweighs any extra cost. And if you’re not interested in the perks, we’re happy to book you the standard rate and handle a smooth booking process for you.

We’re happy to recommend the best flights, and most clients handle the booking themselves. But if you want us to book for you, we offer this for business and first-class flights only, with an additional fee for this service.

The sooner, the better—ideally 3-6 months in advance. This helps us lock in the best hotels and experiences. If you’re planning last minute, give us a shout anyway; we can often work some magic, depending on your destination and flexibility.

Yes, but it depends on your package. With All-In Escape, we’ll handle all restaurant reservations as part of your itinerary. For Itinerary Essentials, we share our best local picks and leave the reservations to you. Stay & Play doesn’t include dining recommendations or reservations.

To provide the highest level of service, we require that your accommodation be booked through us. If you’ve already made a reservation within the last week, we may be able to work with the hotel to transfer it, and then add perks to your stay. Please email us at hello@travelwithaura.com as soon as possible, as timing is key.

We don’t book Airbnbs since they don’t support travel agent bookings, and we can’t guarantee quality or consistency. However, we do work with VRBO and other select vacation rentals and access a range of high-quality vacation homes, villas, and similar options. Some properties appear on multiple platforms, so if you have a spot in mind, reach out through our inquiry form, and we’ll help find the best fit!
