Why Alula Exists

A small wing that
makes flight possible

In June 2024, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After my double mastectomy, reconstruction, and chemo, I escaped to Hana, Maui with my family.

For the first time in months, I wasn't a patient. I wasn't scheduling appointments. I was simply present — recharged and full of hope.

The alula is the small wing that makes flight possible. Hope works the same way — small, quiet, and powerful enough to change everything.

That's why Alula exists. When you book travel with me, every booking goes towards giving a cancer survivor their moment of hope.

Book with Purpose

  • As a licensed travel advisor, I earn commission from hotels (typically 10-15% of your booking). The majority of that commission funds cancer survivor trips and research. The remainder covers essential operations like web hosting, customer support, and booking systems.

  • You get:

    • Personalized recommendations (I do the research for you)

    • Same or better rates than booking direct—plus often extra perks!

    • Impact—the majority of my commission funds cancer survivors

    Bottom line: Same price, better service, real impact.

  • Through an application process. Priority will go to survivors who are in or recently finished treatment, face financial barriers to travel, and would benefit from rest and reconnection.

    As we grow, I'll share stories (with permission) of the trips we've funded and maintain complete transparency about our impact. Right now, every booking brings us closer to funding our first survivor trip.

  • Thank you for your generosity! Donated vacation rentals help us create even more survivor trips beyond what we fund through booking commissions.

    How it works:

    • Share your property details (location, size, amenities, available dates) via email

    • We'll identify a survivor whose needs match your offering

    • You provide the stay; we coordinate logistics and share the impact story (with your permission)

    This is a beautiful way to be part of healing—we'd be honored to work with you.

  • 1. Fill out our quote form (3-4 minutes)

    2. I send recommendations (within 48-72 hours)
    Two emails: my personal take + official quotes from Fora Travel

Frequently Asked Questions

  • "Watching my wife go through breast cancer treatment changed how we see the world. When we booked our Chicago trip through Alula, it felt good knowing we were helping another family have moments of hope and healing. Great service, meaningful impact."

    —Arun G. (husband of a breast cancer survivor)

  • "It was my first solo trip to Milan, and with little time to prepare, I was truly grateful that Megan introduced me to a wonderful hotel through Alula. The hotel proved to be a hidden gem—peacefully tucked away from the bustle of the city, yet just a short stroll from the Duomo. From there, everything felt effortlessly within reach. I took a nearby tram to see The Last Supper, and one evening, after a beautiful ballet at La Scala, I enjoyed a quiet walk back to the hotel, arriving in just ten minutes. What made the experience even more special was the knowledge that, while enjoying such a lovely stay, I was also supporting cancer survivors. It brought a deeper sense of meaning to an already unforgettable journey."
