Travel Services and inspiration for the curious traveler

Services

My services are tailored to the level of support required for each trip. The below guidelines outline when planning and coordination services are provided on a complimentary basis and when service fees apply.

Services Offered

Initial Consultation

I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation call for all new trip inquiries as long as my intake form is completed. This allows us to discuss your travel goals, destination fit, timing, and the overall scope of your trip before deciding how we may best work together.

Hotel Bookings

Ideal for travelers who primarily need hotel recommendations and booking support.

  • Hotel bookings with an average nightly rate of $500+ are generally serviced without additional planning fees.
  • For hotels below $500 per night, a $100 hotel research and booking fee applies unless the total stay exceeds $1,000.
  • Up to three hotel options are provided per destination.
  • If destination selection or broader exploratory research is required, a planning fee starting at $250 will apply.

Travel Designed with Intention, Elevated with Perks

Welcome. If you’re here, chances are you’re planning a trip, dreaming about one, or simply looking for a little inspiration for wherever you may want to go next.

Little Travelers Notebook began as a personal travel journal, a place to collect favorite hotels, memorable meals, hidden corners, villa rentals, and experiences from our family travels around the world. Over time, it naturally evolved into an extension of my travel advisory business, Amy Baker Travel.

Today, this site serves two purposes. It is both a travel blog filled with firsthand recommendations and destination inspiration, and a resource for travelers who would like professional guidance planning their own journeys.
