Through my travel network and tools, I’m often able to offer access to preferred rates, current offers, and added perks when available — along with visibility if a better price becomes available after booking.

Kind Words from Beautiful Clients
After I retired last year, I decided to take over planning our family trips. Planning a 15-day full family trip to France was quite a challenge, and I could not have done it without Mackenzie’s help! She truly understood the trip from my viewpoint and helped create an experience my whole family will remember forever. Mackenzie is a gem, and I highly recommend working with her!
- Lisa R.
Mackenzie thoughtfully planned every moment of this journey with intention and care. My trek up the Rockies was often mistaken for Olympus, as she is a goddess of crafting unique and once in a lifetime experiences.
Aaron K.
Mackenzie was beyond helpful for all our wedding events. Not only did she book our whole honeymoon not missing a single detail, but she also helped tremendously with our room blocks. She is extremely helpful for all things travel and wonderful to work with. We would have been lost trying to plan all of this without her guidance. We will be using her any time we plan travel in the future!
- Lindsay B.
In case you are wondering...
When should I reach out to begin planning my trip?
As soon as you know you'd like to travel. The earlier we begin, the more options we'll have for hotels, flights, routing, and overall trip design. I generally recommend reaching out at least 60 days in advance, and ideally sooner for more complex or high-demand travel. If your trip is coming up more quickly, I’m still happy to see what’s possible.
FAQS
Do you work with all budgets?
I specialize in thoughtfully planned travel experiences that typically fall in the 4-star and above range, though the right fit matters more to me than labels alone. My goal is always to help you make the most of your budget while planning a trip that feels well-matched to your priorities, style, and overall travel goals.
Can you book accommodations through Airbnb or VRBO?
I’m not able to book Airbnb or VRBO properties directly, but I can assist with vetted villa, home, and specialty stay options through trusted travel partners. For travelers looking for a private home or villa experience, I’m often able to recommend and book beautiful alternatives that come with added support and a more seamless overall experience.
Do you book flights?
Yes — I can assist with premium cabin flights, including premium economy, business class, and first class, with access to 24/7 support through Fora’s flights desk. I’m also happy to help think through routing, layovers, overall itinerary flow, and what makes the most sense for your trip. For economy flights, most clients still prefer to book directly.
Are hotel bookings really free?
Often, yes. Many hotel bookings can be made through me at no additional cost when the property offers commission to travel advisors. In many cases, booking through me can also include added value like complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, resort credits, or VIP amenities when available.
