“Shannon planned a girls trip for my 5 best friends from college to Greece and I don’t know what we would have done without her! 

She was able to find the most magical accommodations for our stay in Athens, Santorini and Mykonos, including a cave nestled into the sprawling cliffs of Oia. She coordinated an all day private boat tour for us in Santorini and was even able to snag an upgraded yacht after the company scheduled us incorrectly. She helped book a four wheel expedition around Mykonos and provided numerous recommendations for local restaurants in every location. It was so nice to have our itinerary planned out, so we didn't waste any time. This trip was one of the most memorable experiences and having her there to help made it the stress free vacation we all needed. Bonus that she was just so much fun to work with.

"Shannon was nothing short of amazing in planning our 2 week detailed itinerary for our Europe trip with my husband and toddler!"

This was our first time traveling internationally with our 1 year old so I was very nervous and overwhelmed with travel options, but Shannon made it SO easy by sending me custom options/links with professional and fun communication along the way. She was efficient and talked me through options and alternatives when needed. She made a beautiful and organized document for us that has everything we need: accommodations, tours, transportation, dining, entertainment, etc. I highly recommend using her services to help plan your next travel plans!
Madi | Big Sky, MT & Jackson Hole, WY, Group Trip

Shannon expertly planned a seamless itinerary for my trip to Big Sky and Jackson Hole. As a traveler who prefers a curated experience, I was thoroughly impressed.

Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the trip, from the thoughtfully selected accommodations to the extraordinary five-course dinner she arranged at a secluded mountain top location. The snowmobiling excursion was an unforgettable highlight, and the restaurant recommendations were exceptional. Overall, I had an outstanding vacation and would highly recommend Shannon's services.

We currently don’t offer payment plans, however we only require 50% of the planning fee due upfront, the final payment is due 30 days later. 

Do you offer payment plans for the planning fee? 

Yes! We are here to help if anything goes wrong - we hope nothing will, but the realities of travel are often unpredictable. Our working hours are 9AM - 5PM PST, if you are traveling in a different timezone, please email us at hello@creativetravel-consulting.com and we will respond to you ASAP. On the other hand, you are also always welcome to contact us during your trip even if you need further info on your itinerary or additional planning services while you are abroad. We are always here for you! 

If something happens while I am on my trip, will you help? 

 Creative Travel Consulting is not able to book hotels or flights using points or miles. If you are interested in using your points/miles/credits then our ‘The Itinerary’ package is perfect for you! 

Can I use my points to book travel with you?

Other than removing the planning process off your to-do list, a professional travel advisor like myself can take your vacation beyond the guidebook and help uncover hidden gems around the world. Our entire process is built around a consultative approach, where we work together to curate unforgettable experiences. Did you know that it takes an average of 40-50 hrs to research a trip? Give yourself that time back, and let us handle the research and find exactly what you are looking for in your next dream vacation! 

Why should I hire you, if I can plan it myself?
