My Services
Wherever You're Going, I’ll Get You There Stress Free
My services are designed to support travelers at every stage, with options tailored to different trip styles, comfort levels, and planning needs. Whether you’re dreaming of white sand beaches, a chic city escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime international adventure, I’ll take care of every detail so you can focus on what matters most: being fully present.
Most clients invest between $5,000–$10,000 on their travels, trusting me to create an experience that feels seamless, intentional, and worth every moment.
Every trip is personal. Every itinerary, custom.
Because no two trips are alike, planning fees vary based on the destination, duration, and complexity of your travel plans. Some vacations require no planning fee at all, while others may involve a small fee to account for the time and care it takes to craft something truly special.
Planning fees are nonrefundable and are charged per destination. For multi-city trips, each destination is considered a separate itinerary.
Planning Fees:
add Domestic travel up to 7 nights: $250
add Domestic travel 8+ nights: $400
add International travel up to 7 nights: $350
add International travel 8+ nights: $500
add Expedited trips (within 90 days): +$200
Relax. Recharge. Repeat.

FreQuently Asked Questions
Let’s Take the Guesswork Out of Travel Planning
-
Not at all! Many of my clients come to me with just a vague idea or a feeling. We’ll narrow down the best destination based on your timeline, interests, and budget.
-
It depends on the trip. Cruises and itineraries with in-country partners typically do not require a planning fee. For multi-day domestic trips or more involved itineraries, a fee may apply and is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Planning a trip can quickly become overwhelming. I take the stress off your shoulders by offering expert recommendations tailored to your travel style, saving you hours of research, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Plus, as a professional advisor with preferred access, I’m able to secure exclusive perks you won’t find on your own. These might include room upgrades, resort credits, early check-in or late check-out, welcome amenities, and VIP experiences—depending on the cruise line, hotel, or travel partner. It’s all about adding thoughtful touches that elevate your journey from good to unforgettable.

Not at all. While I specialize in elevated experiences, luxury doesn’t always mean extravagant. It means having a trusted expert handle the details so you can simply enjoy the trip.

“McKinley was amazing to work with. Her knowledge and passion really shows through her commitment to make sure your trip is the best that it can be! She arranged everything from airport private pick up to the perfect room at the resort, reservations at all the top restaurants. We have already booked our second trip with McKinley, which we are very excited will be our first time to visit Costa Rica. She has been beyond excellent at planning this trip. ”
