Kelley D Travel Design
Hi, I'm Kelley
For the past four years, I’ve helped travelers plan everything from Caribbean honeymoons to European food-and-wine journeys to once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list adventures. What I enjoy most isn’t simply booking travel—it’s helping clients make sense of the overwhelming number of options and creating a trip that feels right for them.
FROM CONVERSATION TO DEPATURE:
01.
Let's talk first.
Every great trip starts with a conversation. During this complimentary 30-minute consultation, we'll talk about what you want from your travels, what matters most to you, and how I can help make it happen. Nothing is booked. There is no pressure.
03.
Your Trip Takes Shape
Within two weeks, you'll receive a personalized proposal and a video from me explaining my recommendations, why I chose them, and where I think you can get the most value. You'll have time to review, ask questions, and make changes before anything is finalized.
05.
The Details Come Together
One to two months out we'll connect about dining. I'll ask what kinds of meals matter to you, whether that's a special occasion dinner, a specific cuisine, or simply the best local table I know.
Then I make the calls. You'll also receive packing guidance and final confirmations so there are no last-minute surprises.
02.
I Put It in Writing
After we talk, I'll send you a summary of our conversation so you can confirm everything before planning begins. A planning fee is collected based on the complexity of your trip. It covers my time researching, booking, and managing every detail, and I'll always let you know the fee before you commit.
04.
Everything Gets Booked
Once you approve your itinerary, I take care of every reservation and provide a finalized itinerary with all confirmations and travel documents in one place.
06.
You Leave. I'm Still Here.
Two weeks before departure your travel app is loaded and your final documents are in your inbox. Everything organized, nothing left to figure out. And if something comes up while you're traveling, a weather delay, a booking issue, anything unexpected, you have my number. I'll handle it.
A note on how
I'm compensated:
I am compensated through commissions paid by the hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, and travel partners I work with. These commissions are included in the supplier's pricing and do not add to the cost of your trip. For more complex or highly customized itineraries, a planning fee may apply. Any fees will be discussed in advance so there are no surprises.
A TRAVEL EXPERIENCE DESIGNED AROUND YOU
Every trip is different. Every traveler is too. Here's where you might see yourself.
Honeymoon Collection
Your honeymoon deserves more than a beautiful destination—it should reflect your unique story as a couple. From tropical escapes and European adventures to luxurious overwater villas, every detail is designed with romance and connection in mind.
Memories for Every Generation
Travel is often more meaningful when shared. Whether you're gathering friends, extended family, a special-interest group, or a community organization, I create customized itineraries that bring people together while ensuring every detail is expertly managed.
First Time Europe
Whether it's strolling the streets of Paris, exploring the Amalfi Coast, or discovering the history of Rome, your first trip to Europe should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I help you experience the highlights while balancing iconic sights with authentic local experiences.
