Can you accommodate last-minute trip requests?

We get it - sometimes spontaneity strikes. We're absolutely open to last-minute requests when we can make them work. If your departure is coming up quickly, reach out anyway! We'll do our best to make it happen, though it might require some flexibility.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT MY TRIP TO COST?

Most of our thoughtfully designed trips start around $1,200-$1,500 per day. This allows us to dive deep into the heart of a destination by curating transformative experiences. However, we're always excited to explore the possibilities—maybe it's a shorter adventure or a region where your investment goes further (such as Southeast Asia)—either way, our goal is to maximize your investment in the way that matters most to you.

What type of hotels and travel partners do YOU work with?

We've built relationships with wonderful partners around the world - from beautiful boutique hotels to local guides who know all the hidden gems. Each has been handpicked to help create the kind of experiences you'll be talking about long after you're home.

Are there any additional perks when working with an advisor?

Thanks to our Virtuoso partnership, your stays come with some lovely perks that make everything feel a bit more special. We're talking room upgrades when available, spa credits for some pampering, daily breakfast to fuel your adventures, and thoughtful welcome touches in your room. Because sometimes it's those small surprises that make a trip truly memorable.

HOW DOES THE PAYMENT STRUCTURE WORK FOR TRAVEL ADVISORS?

Here's how we keep the lights on: a combination of planning fees and partner commissions. The fee compensates us for the time spent crafting your perfect trip, while the commission is essentially a thank-you from our partners after you travel - kind of like a referral fee. The best part? It doesn't affect your price at all. You'll pay the same whether you book direct or through us, but with us, you get those extra perks and someone in your corner handling all the details.

WHAT ABOUT PLANNING FEES?

Our travel design fees start at $350 for vacation packages and $500+ for custom itinerary design. Think of it as investing in peace of mind - having a professional handle all the research, planning, and details so you can focus on looking forward to your trip instead of getting lost in the logistics.

Can I use points or miles?

For flights - absolutely! Those points are meant to be enjoyed. We'll help research the best options and make sure everything flows smoothly with the rest of your trip plans.

For hotels - we can chat about this case by case (with a small 10% service fee since we still do all the coordination work).

CAN YOU BOOK AIRBNBS OR VACATION RENTALS?

While we don't work with Airbnb, we do have access to a select number of lovely vacation homes and villas through our trusted partners. These come with the same home-away-from-home feel, plus some nice perks and peace of mind.

DO YOU PROVIDE PRICING BREAKDOWNS?

Due to supplier contracts, in most cases we are unable to provide line-item pricing and instead will typically provide one complete price for your trip. As a ballpark, accommodations typically represent 40-60% of the overall investment.

Do I really need travel insurance?

While not required, we really recommend it for peace of mind. It's there for those unexpected moments - everything from flight hiccups to last-minute changes, and it also provides medical coverage abroad should you need it.
