Frequently Asked Questions
-
Unlike traditional travel agencies, we don’t segment our services into specific packages. From our POV, if we designed travel for you, we have responsibility to do our best to help you achieve the vibe & memories from day one (1) of planning to the moment you’re back.
-
Getting started looks different for everyone, but in many cases it starts out with a quick discussion for us to better understand your travel goals. Most often we start with these five (5) questions:
Can you briefly describe the goal of your trip (e.g. when you return, what are you hoping the outcome to be)? Which 1-3 adjectives would you choose to describe you/your family's travel style (e.g. Relaxed, Immersive, Luxurious, Fun & Family activities, Educational/Guided, Finding Unique and Lesser Traveled path)?
Are there specific things to see/do that you want to make sure is accounted for? Places to stay? Eat?
Tell us more about your transportation needs. Getting to/from airport? Need transportation while there if you’re planning to explore?
How hands-on would you like to be in the planning of your experience?
On a scale of 1-10, how important are the #travelclean principles to you/your family? (e.g. 1 = don't care at all; the criteria above is more important; 10 = it's the reason I'm trusting you; I'm willing to spend more to follow these)
-
We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with emphasis on (1) the traveler experience and (2) the humans who live in the destination. This means that you no longer are forced to fit into what the travel industry wants you to do!
So unlike traditional travel agencies, you won’t see us selling based on pricing for packaged travel 😝 because we know what “low cost” actually means to your experience.
Instead, we’ll start with your criteria and make the travel industry work for us.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page, email, text/call or social pages. We aim to respond quickly by being available where you typically prefer to communicate — usually within one business day.

We’re glad you asked. This is often the top mistruth floating our there about travel design - and ironically, it’s most influenced by booking sites like Expedia, booking.com and Google Flights.
We only get paid on a commission basis by the suppliers (lodging, flights, cruise lines, etc.) roughly 30 days after your stay concludes. The remainder of our services are complimentary, so you can experience us with minimal risk upfront. We’re happy to be transparent about the commission we get for your travel!

Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving with minimal investment required from you! Required, but not limited since we know there’s a host of our clients that enjoy researching and planning along with us!
