I'm Erica — chef-trained, certified travel advisor, and the person who built the finder. Ask me one question for free. When you want the trip actually planned, that's a flat planning fee: $150 for one destination, $350 for a multi-stop or complex trip. Either way, a human reads it and replies, usually within one business day.
I'll reply from hello@resetaway.com, usually within one business day.
Planning fees are flat per trip and paid before research starts. If I plan your trip, booking it is included — there's no booking fee on top. You always see the amount before anything is charged.
At hotels in my host agency's partner programs, a booking through me can come with extras on top of the room. The usual ones:
Which perks apply depends on the hotel, the rate, and your dates, and upgrades are never guaranteed. I'll tell you exactly what comes with your booking before you confirm. Small inns, cabins, and rentals usually aren't in these programs, and I'll say that plainly too. Perks never change what I charge.
The line is simple: a question is free; anything you could take to another agent or book yourself is a plan.
Many of the places I recommend — small inns, cabins, retreat centers, vacation rentals — don't pay travel advisors anything. My planning fee is how my time gets paid, and it's the reason I can recommend the right place instead of the one that pays me.
The fee is for the planning itself, so it's the same whether you book through me or on your own. Two tiers, by how much work the trip is:
For most hotel bookings you pay nothing extra — the property pays me a commission at no additional cost to you. Planning fees are separate from any commission, cover research and itinerary work, and are always shown before work starts. A booking-only request for a place that pays advisors nothing is a flat $50, also shown before I book. The finder itself recommends destinations, not properties, and no commission touches its scoring.
