What others are saying

“I recently traveled around France and Alex created our entire itinerary. Since we were visiting so many different cities, planning our journey required extreme attention to detail and awareness of logistics. From where we were sleeping each night to how many tolls we would encounter while driving, Alex accounted for everything, making it a seamless trip. Alex takes the time to thoroughly research each destination, finding the perfect balance of visiting the must0-see sights, but also doing as the locals do. I would confidently count on her to plan my next trip!”

“Alex did a great job planning our trip through London, Dublin, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. We were on a 10-day trip and each day was given 3 possible options of its own itinerary that we could choose from. Transportation, activities, and tours were all scheduled in perfectly. It was one of the most seamless vacations I have ever been on. Can’t wait to book another adventure!”

FAQs

Who books flights/accommodations?

I’ll give you links for everything, you take care of booking yourself using your preferred credit card, rewards program, or booking site. If you’d like me to walk you through booking your adventure in real-time just let me know.

What countries do you work with?

I work primarily with the countries I have lived in and visited, including the United States, England, France, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Czech Republic (Czechia).

However, with my extensive international network of friends and colleagues, I’m happy to work with you on different locations or point you in the direction of someone who can help you plan your perfect trip.

What type of trips do you create itineraries for?

I can help you with day trips, weekend getaways, first-time trips to Europe, backpacking trips, family trips, and more. Using my custom questionnaire, I work with you to determine your budget, tastes, and requirements to source the best local tips and things for you to do.

What does each itinerary include?

Well, each itinerary is catered to your tastes so that will depend. Each one will contain preliminary background information, activities based on your interests, restaurant options, and accommodation options.

Why travel planning?

Ask anyone I’ve traveled with and they’ll probably tell you stories about how I obsessively researched and outlined trips finding the best things to do in each place I visit. I love finding the easiest/cheapest/best ways to get from point A to point B; the hidden gems that no one knows about; off-the-beaten-path destinations; and fitting together complex requirements, constraints, and tastes. Travel planning is my thing.

What if I just have some questions about travel and don’t need a full trip planned?

That’s totally fine too! Send me an email with some of your questions and we can either set up a time to chat or I can answer via email. One hour of Q&As starts at $35.

Do you have basic information or guides on destinations?

Yes! I keep detailed logs of every place I’ve visited as well as for those I plan on visiting. These logs tend to cover the basics, including getting there, climate, important information, main attractions, and the like. These guides start at $35 per destination. Email me for more information.
