Telephone Services

-Available in Vancouver Only-
Although renting somebody else's home is a fantastic way to travel, if you have never been to the city before it could take added time to orient yourself to the neighbourhood.  For a small weekly fee, I provide the same service as if you were calling down to the front desk.  Whether it is finding the nearest drop off laundry service, or wanting a specialty grocery store, I can show you the way.  As a Personal Assistant to many celebrities I often have been the point of contact for any imaginable request.  If you wish to subscribe to this type of service I simply ask before your scheduled travel:
  1. Where you are staying?
  2. The Dates you will be in Vancouver?
  3. and, then I provide you with an ID# you quote everytime you call.
Once your dates of travel you have booked with me are done, you are free to renew your subscription.  Payment is made simple by Paypal, either through email billing, or remotely.

Planning an Itinerary

A lot of details go into the planning of a Travel Itinerary.  Depending on how authentic you want to get, or your type of adventure, hours of research is necessary to find the quality services I stand by.  All you need to tell me is
  • Dates of Travel?
  • Where you are staying?
  • What you are interested in?
  • Any Dislikes?
  • any Special Requests?
  • and your Budget
In the end I will provide to you a list of top rated Restaurants in your neighbourhood, events happening during your time there, as well as any speciial details that are tailored to your specific requests.  For an additional cost, all events, reservations, or purchases can be arranged for you.  I find once I get to know a client, it is easy for me to anticipate their needs, and often will add options and details they may not have previously thought of.  A lot of my visiting clients are often coming from bigger, more cosmopolitan cities, and are amazed at the quality of recommendations I offer them., as well as the speed in which I answer requests.  This service is available for Travel outside of Vancouver as well.

Lesson Learned: Trip To Paris


One of the many lessons I have learned in my own travels is the importance of booking the most direct flightt!  One year I booked a whimsical trip to Paris in the Winter - thinking that I would rather spend the money there, then on the flight, I chose a discounted fare with two stopovers X wrong answer X  One of the stopovers ended up being in New York , and being winter, of course it got delayed.  In the end the flight from Vancouver to Paris took 24 hours....waisted valuable time that could have been spent sipping wine at the local brasserie.....I took this lesson and have applied it to the advice I now give my clients.  How valuable is your time?  Would you rather  a) save a $100.00 with a load of added stress? or b) would you rather arrive at your destination well rested and ready to hit the scene? - I pick b) anytime....

Sunday

In The Beginning....


I love to Travel.....I love the culture, the vibrancy, and the excitement of big cities!  My curiousity has brought me to places such as Paris, Rome, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Buenos Aires to name a few.....To get the most out of travel I have learned that it is best to experience with the locals.  Where the most Authentic places to eat are, the best music, the best parties, and the best shopping and services......Most importantly, I love to share with people.  My motivation is always to see people happy, and watch them have the best of experiences.  Any of the friends who have travelled with me can attest to my efforts to find the hottest ticket in town to the best places to meet people and experience the local culture.  I hope you will give me the opportunity to share with you the best that Vancouver has to offer!
