Frequently Asked Questions

How does pricing work?

We start with a conversation about your trip — no obligation. If we're a good fit, you sign a small retainer and planning begins. The final fee is a percentage of the total trip cost, so it scales with your trip, from budget-friendly to luxury.

Do you book flights and hotels?

Our core service is planning: we design the trip and tell you exactly what to book. If you'd like us to handle the bookings as well, just ask.

What happens in the first conversation?

We get to know how you like to travel: where you want to go, when, who's coming, your budget, and what makes a trip great for you. There's no obligation to continue afterwards.

What's included in the itinerary?

A day-by-day plan with accommodation recommendations, restaurant picks, activity suggestions, transportation logistics, budget estimates, visa guidance, and insider tips you won't find online.

What destinations do you cover?

We specialize in Asia, Americas, and Europe, but we're happy to plan trips worldwide. If we haven't been there personally, we'll let you know upfront.

Can I request changes to the plan?

Yes. Refining the plan with you until it feels right is part of the process.

What should I include in my first email?

Where you want to go, your rough dates, how many people are traveling, your travel style, and what you love doing. Don't worry if you're unsure about some of it — that's what the conversation is for.

Where do you want to go next?

Send us your trip idea, and we'll set up a conversation to understand exactly what you're looking for.
