Let’s Plan Something Unforgettable

Blue Brain works with trusted in‑destination partners (often called Destination Management Companies or DMCs) who have deep local expertise and relationships. Together, we combine your accommodations, transfers, tours, and other experiences into one seamless package price so you have fewer decisions to manage and better value than booking everything separately. Because of how these partner contracts are structured, individual line‑item pricing is not available; your quote reflects the total cost of your custom trip design, on‑the‑ground support, and my professional planning fees.

Q: Why do you provide bundled package rates?

Sometimes, yes I do have access to preferred rates and extra perks through my travel partners. But the real value goes beyond discounts. I save you hours of research, decision fatigue, and second‑guessing by curating options that actually fit how you want to feel on this trip. If something comes up before or during travel, you reach out to me not a 1‑800 number or a chatbot, so you have a real human watching out for you from start to finish.

Q: Do you get better rates than if I booked myself?

My planning fee allows me to give your trip the time and care it deserves. It’s based on the complexity of your itinerary—things like how many destinations you’re visiting, how many travelers are going, how far out the trip is, and how involved the planning will be. This fee protects my time so I can focus on building something custom for you with expert‑level attention to detail. You’re not just paying for bookings; you’re investing in peace of mind, nervous‑system‑friendly planning, and a smoother, less stressful experience.

Q: How are your planning fees calculated?

Think of me as your personal travel strategist and soft‑luxe filter. Yes, you could book everything online, but working with a travel advisor gives you tailored recommendations, access to trusted partners, on‑the‑ground support if things shift, and a curated plan that fits your actual bandwidth. Instead of juggling a thousand tabs, you get one point of contact who understands how overstimulating travel planning can be—and is there to make your trip calmer, more intentional, and genuinely restorative from idea to return flight.

FAQ's

Q: Do you work with VRBO and/or AIRBNB?

I don’t book individually owned or managed properties like Airbnb or VRBO because I can’t guarantee the level of quality, safety, or service. But if you're looking for that cozy, home-away-from-home vibe, I’ve got great options. I work with trusted partners to find professionally managed villas, apartments, and boutique hotels that offer shared spaces and character plus peace of mind. You’ll get the charm and the reliability.
