How We Work
Creating an exceptional travel experience requires both care and expertise. Whether you’re seeking a refreshing weekend getaway or an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime adventure, our team of Travel Designers is ready to craft the perfect blueprint for your unique and personalized adventure.
Step 1
We start with a few basic questions to learn more about you. We’ll explore potential dates, destinations, budget, and the type of experience you’re looking for. Then, we provide you with a custom lookbook offering inspiration for what your itinerary could look like, highlighting our favorite accommodation options, activities, and experiences that align with your style and budget.
Step 2
Based on your feedback, we collect a $500 planning fee, which is then accounted for in your total trip cost, and begin crafting a custom curated proposal for your review. Once we’ve collaborated to perfect your itinerary, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision, a 50% deposit is required to officially start confirming all your arrangements.
Step 3
The final payment is due 60 days before departure to secure your trip. Once your itinerary is confirmed, our team handles all the details, providing full support to ensure that every aspect of logistics and communication is seamlessly managed for a smooth and stress-free experience.
