Hi, I'm Chris

I plan trips the way I'd want mine planned. Carefully, and over email.

I'm a Fora-certified travel advisor based in Portland, and I spend almost all of my time on two places: Bali and Singapore. I've gotten to know these properties well. Which room categories actually have the view. Which floors are worth requesting. The real differences between the Garden Wing at Shangri-La and a suite at Raffles.

I work primarily over email because that's how I'd want to plan a trip too. No phone calls on someone else's schedule, no pushy upsells. Just thoughtful recommendations you can think about, and a booking handled properly when you're ready. (Happy to hop on a call if it ever makes sense, but almost never needed.)

Traveling with kids? I can arrange vetted, professional childcare at your resort or villa. The kind of service that actually gives parents a vacation: a quiet sunset dinner for two, a spa afternoon, a day at the beach club without the logistics. Just ask.

Tell me where and when, and I can usually come back within a day or two with a shortlist that beats what you'd piece together on your own.

Why Book Through Me

What you get that you
can't get booking direct

Most luxury hotels list 8+ room categories on their booking page. Most travelers pick by price and hope for the best. Here's what changes when you work with me.

01

The Right Room

I know which category has the ocean view at Four Seasons Bali, which floor overlooks the courtyard at Raffles, and which suites work best for families. That expertise doesn't appear on the booking page.

02

Preferred Partner Perks

At most partner hotels you'll get extras like daily breakfast for two, a hotel credit, room upgrades at check-in, and early or late arrival flexibility. Not available when you book on your own. I'll tell you exactly what's included before you commit.

03

Childcare on Request

Traveling with kids? I can arrange vetted, professional childcare at your resort or villa, so the trip becomes an actual vacation for the parents too. A quiet dinner for two, a spa afternoon, a beach club day without the logistics.

04

Same Price as Direct

You pay the same hotel rate you'd pay on your own. The room knowledge, upgrade requests, childcare coordination, and planning come with the relationship, not the bill.

A Note on Timing

The villas worth having book out first.

Peak villa categories at a handful of these properties are frequently booked 6+ months in advance, especially for July, August, and holiday travel. Once they're gone, they're gone. If your trip is on this list, earlier conversations open more doors.

Preferred partner perks vary by property. Most partner hotels include some combination of complimentary breakfast, room upgrade requests, hotel credits, or early check-in and late checkout, at the same rate you'd pay booking direct. I'll tell you exactly what's included for your property before you book.

What Working With Me Looks Like

Straight about being new here.

I'm not going to show you fake testimonials. I'm building this practice focused only on Bali and Singapore, and this is exactly what you can expect when you send that first email.

“

A reply, not a sales pitch

First message back is a few questions if I need them, or a first shortlist if I have enough to go on. No phone calls, no "let's hop on a quick call." Just an actual reply.

“

Actual reasoning, not just names

When I recommend a property or room category, you'll know why. The view, the floor, the layout, the trade-offs against the alternative. If Bali Ritz-Carlton is better for you than Four Seasons, I'll say that and explain.

“

Honesty over upselling

If a category two steps down from where you were looking is actually a better view, I'll tell you. My rate is the same either way. I'd rather you come back for the next trip than squeeze an extra $400 out of this one.

“

Care through arrival

Once booked, I coordinate preferences, anniversary or birthday notes, and any pre-arrival requests directly with the hotel. You show up, they're expecting you.

The Process

Simple, email-first

No calls, no forms, no waiting rooms. A straightforward email exchange on your schedule.

01

You Tell Me the Basics

Destination, rough dates, who's traveling, and daily hotel budget (inclusive of tax and service charges). Takes you about 30 seconds.

02

I Send Options

Within 24-48 hours I'll reply with 2-3 property recommendations, specific room categories I'd book, and what perks are included at each.

03

I Handle the Booking

Once you've picked, I handle the reservation, special requests, and pre-arrival coordination with the hotel directly.

Planning fee: $150-300 per trip depending on complexity. Fees are waived for new clients while I build my practice. Hotel rates are always the same as booking direct; the fee (when charged) covers research, itinerary recommendations, and booking coordination.
