Get planning

Travel planning should be fun and personalized!

I design trips that help you truly connect with the people and places you visit, while keeping your style and preferences front and center.

Why plan with Get Uncomfy

Save time, avoid the stress

Trip planning shouldn't feel like a second job. I cut through the endless options to give you a clear, thoughtful plan, fully customized to you.

Transparent pricing

You pay a simple planning fee, and I recommend experiences based on your preferences, not my commissions.

Exclusive perks through Fora

As a Fora-certified advisor, I can often book your hotels at discounted rates and unlock extras like upgrades, daily breakfast, property credits, and unique experiences you won't find online.

Personalized, never cookie-cutter

Every trip I create is fully personalized to your travel style, never generic or off-the-shelf.

A proven planning process

Whether your travels take you to one of the 30+ countries I've explored or to a destination we’re discovering together, my tested process blends thoughtful research with local perspective.

Passionate about good travel

I started Get Uncomfy because I believe travel should be inspiring, eye-opening, and a little uncomfy (in the best ways). I care deeply about creating trips that connect you with the world in a meaningful way.

Pricing & options

My model is simple and transparent.

I charge a flat planning fee. You decide if you’d like to book yourself, through me via Fora (with hotel perks & VIP extras), or with trusted local partners (best for complex trips).

Hotels only (no planning fee)

Book your hotels with me to access discounted rates and VIP perks through my Fora affiliation.

Full itinerary - $100 per day of travel planned
