Why do I need a travel planner?

Planning a trip sounds fun—until it’s not. Between endless tabs, conflicting reviews, and decision fatigue, what should be exciting quickly becomes overwhelming. That’s where CYI Travel comes in.

Here’s what you get having me as your travel expert in your corner:

  • Less Stress, More Fun
    No more overthinking every detail. I take the guesswork out of planning and give you a clear, easy-to-follow itinerary tailored to you.

  • Time Saved
    What takes you 20 hours of researching, I can do in 2—because I’ve already done it before. I know where to look, who to trust, and what’s actually worth your time and money.

  • Curated, Not Cookie-Cutter
    Your trip won’t look like anyone else’s. Every itinerary is custom-built based on your style, pace, and priorities—not just copied from Pinterest.

  • Insider Access
    Want to avoid tourist traps and find the real gems? As a travel consultant and a Nashville native, I offer local insight you won’t get from Google or group tours.

  • Support Before You Go
    Have questions? Need to pivot your plans? I’m here for more than just booking. I can be your travel bestie behind the scenes.

this isn’t just a trip.

it’s a memory in the making.

You’re not just booking flights and hotels. You’re chasing a feeling.
You’re carving out time from a busy life for something that matters—connection, celebration, healing, adventure.

But somewhere between the dream and the departure date… the overwhelm sets in.

Endless research. Conflicting advice. Second-guessing every detail.
What if it’s too touristy? What if you miss the best parts?

That’s where I come in.

At CYI Travel, I don’t just plan trips—I help people bring their vision to life. I take what you want to feel and turn it into an experience that’s thoughtfully crafted, deeply personal, and fully you.

Because I know that some trips mark a milestone. Some reconnect us with the people we love. Some help us remember who we are.

You deserve a journey that feels easy, intentional, and unforgettable—from the first idea to the final flight home.

Let me help you make it happen.
