Frequently Asked Questions

  • We charge planning fees because crafting travel magic is our favorite kind of work — and we do it with your personality in mind. Think of us as travel tailors: we stitch together an itinerary that fits your dreams, your quirks, and your vibes.

    The planning fee covers all the behind-the-scenes love that doesn’t earn commission but makes your trip seamless: research, route-testing, local scouting, partner meetings, and the relationship-building that gets you special access and moments you won’t find off the shelf. In short, it pays for the extra care and detail so your trip feels uniquely yours — and absolutely flawless.

  • At this time we do not book flights. For a small fee, we will happily assist you in researching your routes.

  • Often the price will be much the same as booking on your own — but we sprinkle in the extras. Thanks to our preferred partners, we can unlock VIP perks like upgrades, late check-out, included breakfasts and more. Prefer the plain rate? No problem — we can book that too, no frills attached.

  • For a longer international adventure, aim to start planning with us 6–12 months ahead. That window gives us the time to craft every detail—lock in the best hotels, arrange exclusive experiences, and smooth out travel logistics—so your trip feels effortless from start to finish.

    Early planning also helps secure spots at in-demand properties and activities, especially during peak seasons, and lets us get to know your tastes so we can tailor the trip exactly to you.

    Feeling spontaneous? Great — we love that, too. If you’re dreaming of a last-minute escape, reach out anyway. We often make impromptu plans ourselves and will do our best to create a memorable trip, no matter how quickly you want to go.
