OUR PROCESS
If you have never worked with a professional travel advisor before (or a great one), you'll find our process effective and efficient.
01
QUICK HELLO
If we haven't already had a quick 15 minute video or phone chat this is where we listen to your ideas and travel goals.
02
CONTRACT
Choose the planning package that suits you best, sign our simple contract and schedule in your official planning meeting.
03
PLANNING MEETING
In this 60-90 minute virtual meeting we'll kick off the planning process. We will ask you a number of questions aimed at getting to know your travel preferences and style.
04
RESEARCH, PRESENTATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
We will present you with a full itinerary containing options for travel, activities and accommodation. Request any small adjustments before we lock in your trip itinerary.
05
WHILE YOU ARE AWAY
We will only ever be an email, text or call away if you need us. In the event that you need to activate your emergency support plan we will be on standby and ready to help.

The only thing better than getting home is having your next trip in the pipeline. We'll get you scheduled for that next trip right away whether you want to take in a month or a year.
