Travel planning

Everyone likes travelling. However, not many people enjoy planning their trips. I do, and I’m here to help you! If you have any trip or holiday

Things I can help you with:

  • Find flights for you – this can be to a specific place, or to a broader region. I can find the best dates, check if any open-jaw flights would be more suitable. This is not a simple case of putting in an origin and destination into Skyscanner – an extensive flight search can take hours. I also have an extensive knowledge of frequent-flyer programmes, and I can also compare options if you have some airline miles to redeem.  
  • Find accommodation for you – it’s often difficult to find suitable accommodation options for your holiday. There are so many variables that need to be taken into consideration – price, quality, location, safety, internet among many more. I can explore all options based on what’s important for you and give you my recommendations.
  • Plan the actual trip – as detailed as you like. Some people prefer just a vague guideline and a list of things worth seeing. Some would prefer a detailed itinerary for every day, essentially telling them what to do step by step. I can do it any way you prefer. I can find appropriate transport in your destination country – maybe hiring a car is a better option than taking a bus? Maybe a domestic flight is more affordable than a train? Maybe taxis are super-cheap and there’s no point bothering with public transport), I can plan where to go and in which order for it to make the most sense.
  • Provide other helpful information – how do you arrange a visa? What local food is worth trying? Which local customs should you be aware of? Which frequent flyer program should you credit your airline miles to? There are countless things that you might need to know before your trip, and I can brief you with this information.
  • Emergency help – if something unexpected happens during your trip, I can help you. The bus didn’t show up and you have no idea what to do next? You can message me, and even if it’s the middle of the night in my timezone, I will do my best to help.
  • For a price, I would even be happy to go on a trip with you and be your personal guide!

This list is most definitely not complete – I can help you with many more things. The most important message here is that I will provide you with the bespoke level of assistance that you want – whether it’s just a basic outline of a short break, or a day-by-day, hour-by-hour itinerary of a backpacking trip spanning multiple countries.

One thing to note: I cannot give you any guarantee that my advice will be correct. I will of course try my absolute best for all my information to be accurate, but even the guidebooks, internet and my other sources can be wrong at times. Because of this, if I have any doubts over the accuracy of any item on the itinerary, I will also create a plan B (and C, if required). In the event that you still find yourself without any guidance, I will try to help you as soon as you let me know.
