Frequently Asked Questions
-
Riposo is an Italian word for the traditional afternoon pause — when businesses close so people can return home to rest. It's a small daily ritual with a big idea behind it: that slowing down isn't a luxury, it's necessary. That belief shapes every trip I plan.
-
Research, access, and years of hands-on planning experience — but more than that, I bring a process. Before I book anything, I ask what you actually need from this trip, not just where you want to go. Then I build backward from that answer, so every detail serves a purpose instead of just looking good on paper.
-
Every engagement begins with a $350 planning fee. For more complex itineraries or trips longer than two weeks, that fee increases to reflect the additional research, coordination, and hands-on design involved. You'll always know your fee upfront before we begin.
-
Start with a discovery call. I'll ask what you need from the trip and what budget you're working with, then design within that — a wellness trip doesn't need an unlimited budget to be intentional, just well-planned.
-
Because your time and peace of mind are worth more than the hours it takes to piece together a trip yourself. I handle the research, the logistics, and the decision fatigue — so what you get back isn't just an itinerary, it's the trip you actually needed, without the second-guessing.
-
Yes. Nothing is templated or reused from client to client. Every trip is designed around your specific answers, preferences, and pace.
-
Your planning fee starts at $350 and scales based on the complexity and length of the trip — a long, multi-destination journey requires more research and coordination than a shorter, single-destination one, and the fee reflects that.
-
Part of what you're paying for is peace of mind during the trip, not just before it. I'm available to help you navigate changes, rebook, and problem-solve if something goes off plan, so you're never troubleshooting alone.
