The problem many face with upscale travel is uncertainty….too many questions and not enough time to find the right answers. Is it the right location? Are the reviews true? Am I missing out on an amazing experience?

I solve that problem with a 7-step process to maximize your investment, create authentic experiences, priceless memories, and one of a kind vacations. By consistently traveling around the world, to over 40 countries just in the last 4 years I am able to create a detailed trip which aligns perfectly with an individual’s travel style while exceeding all dreams and expectations, leaving no questions unanswered.

THE BLUEPRINT PROCESS

tRIP INQUIRY FORM

The beginning of the process starts with you! You may find our Trip Inquiry form here and on our Contact Us page. This form is what we call "the tools" which are necessary to build your trip foundation. It is imperative that the information is provided and correct so that we may move forward to the next step. Once completed you will be asked to schedule a date and time on our calendar for a Complimentary Consultation. 

COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION

When you schedule your consultation with us, you have the choice between a video or voice setup. We use Zoom for our video conference and will provide you with a link (if you haven't used Zoom prior) to enable you to join in at the correct date and time, should you choose this option. During this planning meeting we will go over your Trip Inquiry form and follow up with additional questions so your trip quotes are truly personalized as well as answer all questions you may have at the time. Now that we know more about you we get to tell you a bit about us, the timeline, and what to expect during the process. If we mutually feel like it is a good fit a travel service contract is emailed to you for your signature. We call this second process "the cement" phase.

QUOTES

Here is where things really come to life. This stage is the building stage. We take everything from step 1 and 2 and include it in our search of verified suppliers and vendors to complete a quote of one to three vacation options. Within the quote you will find a detailed trip including the ultimate transportation, transfer, accommodation, and tour/excursion/experience options curated for your individual travel style and investment. This part of the process takes approximately 7 days or 3-4 weeks for groups, although expedited service is available at an additional charge, to ensure all avenues are explored. Once you receive your quote we can arrange a time to speak and discuss the options and answer any questions you may have before moving forward. Your blueprint is now complete.

CONFIRMATIONS

Once you have selected and approved your quote, we move forward with confirming all reservations with our suppliers and vendors. In order for this to take place you will complete a Client Booking form for your party unless you are apart of a group, whereas everyone will complete their own form. Your deposit or full payment (if required) will be made at this time through our secure Payment Request form. An invoice is then emailed to you with your total, deposit paid, balance, and final payment date. This is the ideal time to confirm passport information, apply for passports, discuss visas and any shots or preventative medicine if medically necessary with your physician. The trip is built and now it's time to move on to the extras, all the little things that make a huge difference in whether you have a good trip and an amazing trip.

FINAL ITINERARY

Approximately 3-4 weeks prior to travel you will receive your final itinerary detail via email and priority mail (unless this option is waived). Within it you will find travel app recommendations, travel tips and best practices, as well as a list of Best Places to Eat, Best Places to See, concerts, art installation openings, special museum events, and festivals, etc which may be taking place during your time there all placed on your own personal Google Map. A pre-vacation meeting is scheduled a week later to go through every aspect and answer any questions or concerns you may have at that time. You have now become a traveler and not just a tourist.

DURING TRAVEL

We are available 24/7 for emergencies while you are traveling. Although you will be provided emergency numbers for all suppliers and vendors used during the trip we would like you to contact us so that we may handle any emergency situation with them in the best way possible. Of course in case of a medical emergency we advise you to contact a local emergency number at your location first for treatment. We track your flights, from your first to your return, so we may be proactive in any situation which may arise (delayed flight, missed connection, weather issues). You also have access to us via email, text, or voice call app for any questions, other situations, and we love any feedback and/or pictures provided during your vacation as well as tagging us in any social media posts.

WELCOME HOME

We're still here! Upon your return home you will receive a Welcome Home email as well as a phone call from us to follow up with your travel experience. We want to make sure everything exceeded your expectations, address any issues (lost luggage or items left behind), collect any special praises for people who have gone above and beyond during your travels, and discuss or plan any additional upcoming trips. We ask that if you feel so inclined to write a review on your experience with our agency and your trip and extend our gratitude for referring us to any family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances as this is the best form of a compliment.
