Why the name Tick Tock Travels?
Time is short, so take the trip. That simple idea is at the heart of my work: helping people stop postponing the journeys that matter to them and begin with a plan they can feel confident about.
What kind of travel do I know firsthand?
I have personally sailed with AmaWaterways, Atlas Ocean Voyages, Avalon Waterways, Oceania Cruises, Windstar Cruises, and Viking. I specialize in small-ship and river cruises, using firsthand knowledge and careful research to help each client find the right fit. I also plan land journeys before and after a cruise, and standalone land journeys on request.
What can you expect when we work together?
You can expect questions, honest guidance, and recommendations grounded in how you actually want to travel. My planning fee starts at $250 per person, depending on the complexity of your trip. Our first consultation is free. The fee is due only after we both decide to move forward, before I begin designing your trip. When you book your trip with me, the full planning fee is credited toward the cost of your trip. Read the planning-fee terms. Tick Tock Travels is affiliated with Avoya Travel and Travel Leaders Network.
