PERSONAL, PREMIUM TRAVEL PLANNING

Luxury Travel Built Around What Matters to You

Impulsive Escape Travel is based in Gig Harbor and serves travelers throughout Mercer Island, the Puget Sound area and across the United States. If you are looking for a luxury travel advisor serving Mercer Island, you work directly with me from Gig Harbor. I do not assume luxury means choosing the most expensive option. I compare where a better cabin, hotel, private transfer, smaller ship or private experience changes the trip and where the standard option still makes sense.

You work directly with me throughout the planning process. Standard vacation planning and booking does not carry a planning or booking fee.

HOW I APPROACH LUXURY

Spend More Where It Improves the Trip

A higher price does not automatically mean a better fit. I look at location, cabin or room category, included experiences, transfers, guide quality, ship size, itinerary and service level so you can decide which upgrades are worth paying for on your trip.
