Services

For straightforward arrangements, Petrichor Travel does not charge a fee because as a certified travel advisor, I'm compensated through commissions from hotels and other travel partners when I book your trip with them. This allows me to provide customized recommendations at no additional cost to you. Thanks to industry partnerships, I'm often able to secure exclusive perks, upgrades, or amenities that enhance your experience without affecting your budget.
In some cases—such as when working with smaller or specialized providers that don’t offer commissions, or for complex, highly customized itineraries—there may be a service fee. If so, I’ll always be transparent about any fees upfront. This model allows me to prioritize designing the best travel experience for you while keeping our services accessible and affordable.
