FINDING INSPIRATION FROM
The Smoky Mountains cabin that was the spark that led to Paradise Falls Travel Co.
My journey to founding Paradise Falls Travel Co. and becoming your trusted travel advisor is as unique as the experiences I create for you. In private aviation, I mastered the art of handling large investments and curating high-end experiences for discerning clients. My time in HR honed my people skills and list-making obsession (nothing like learning about the importance of lists from a pilot).
This blend of skills means you're not just getting a travel planner—you're getting a dedicated organizer, a meticulous investor of your travel budget, and a people-person who understands that the perfect trip is about more than just beautiful destinations.
But here's the real magic: My partnerships and affiliations open doors that typical online bookings simply can't. As an affiliate of Coastline Travel Group, I offer you access to the exclusive world of Virtuoso. Wondering what the heck Virtuoso even means and why you should care? Think of Virtuoso as your VIP pass to the global stage of luxury travel.
Beyond Virtuoso, my carefully cultivated relationships with hotels, tour operators, and local experts worldwide mean I can craft experiences you won't find on any website. Whether it's arranging a private cooking class with a Michelin-starred chef in Tokyo, securing tickets to a sold-out show on Broadway, or organizing a meet-and-greet with local artisans in Marrakech, I have the connections to make it happen.

agree? we're probably a great fit.
How far in advance should I reach out for a trip?
A good rule of thumb is to reach out 6-9 months before you're hoping to travel. This allows us to ensure that we have plenty of time to craft a vacation that is tailored for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make changes to the proposal?
Our goal is always to get things perfect on the first proposal, but we want to ensure that your dream vacation is exactly that, your dream vacation! Both The Complete Package and The Blueprint offer a number of revisions to your initial proposal. After you've used up the revisions provided within the service you chose, there is an opportunity for you to request additional revisions for $25/revision.
Do you book flights?
Due to the nature of the airline industry, we currently book only business and first-class flights for our clients. This service is available exclusively with The Complete Package. If you're interested in having Paradise Falls Travel Co. handle your air booking for a trip planned via The Blueprint, please inquire with your advisor for more information.
Do you offer travel insurance?
Paradise Falls Travel LLC is NOT an insurance broker. However, we do believe that travel is one the greatest investments that you can make, and should be protected as such. We provide a travel insurance quote through our trusted and vetted partners to ALL of our clients, and we highly encourage you to purchase some type of travel protection. If you choose to remove the travel insurance from the proposal prepared for you, you will be required to sign a waiver acknowledging that you've declined the coverage.
Are payment plans available?
Yes! As we've mentioned before, we believe that travel is an investment. Because of this we work with our clients to create a payment plan that works for you and enables you to experience that vacation you've been dreaming of. It is important to know due dates for the deposit and final payment are non-negotiable and set by our global partners. We will work with you to create a payment plan within those dates that works for you.
*Please note that we do not offer payment plans for the Consulting & Concierge Retainer. This is nonrefundable and due prior to the proposal of your trip.
How can I stay up to date on all things related to travel (& Paradise Falls Travel Co.)?
We're so glad you asked! Our founder sends out an email newsletter called The Post where she keeps you up to date on all things travel and what's new and exciting in the world of PFTC. Our subscribers are the first to know when we have access to exclusive travel opportunities, any new services that PFTC introduces, and provides a behind the scenes look of what it takes to run Paradise Falls Travel Co. We'd love to have you join our growing list of subscribers!
What if I want to make changes after the itinerary is finalized?
We completely understand that life happens and sometimes changes are needed. Once a proposal is approved and the itinerary is finalized we will do our best to accommodate the changes you request. Oftentimes the ability to make changes is subject to availability and the partners that we book your trip through. In addition, there will be an additional fee to make changes to an itinerary after it has been finalized.
Do you provide real time Lightning Lane Single & Multi Pass services?
Lightning Lane Multi Pass & Single Pass are extremely dynamic and partially determined by your activity in the parks each day. It would slow you down to have someone (a member of the PFTC team) in another state choosing experience for you remotely. That being said, we DO provide you with all the coaching, tips, & tricks that you will need to ensure that you're a pro at Lightning Lane passes while you're on your vacation.
Are you able to guarantee dining reservations?
Unfortunately, no. Disney dining is VERY competitive. I will be up and ready to book your dining at 4:45AM CST for when your Advance Dining Reservation window opens at 5:00AM CST/6:00AM EST. It is important to note that oftentimes the most popular restaurants are gone in seconds. However, we have invested in monitoring reservation systems for anything we are unable to secure for you on your ADR morning.
Can you assist with DAS (Disability Access Service)?
Disney requires that all individuals requesting use of their DAS pass apply and interview directly. Though we are unable to assist in the application process, we are able to provide you with training on how DAS works if you are approved for use of the service.

Look, there is nothing we hate more than spammy emails. When you think The Post, think of a compilation of travel stories (that actually interest you), deep dives on destinations that will have you ready to pack your bag, and it wouldn’t be PFTC if there weren’t a few fun and awkward stories mixed in too.
