Do planners pay you to be on the site?

The Planners
How do you select your travel experts?

Our travel experts are meticulously chosen based on their knowledge, experience, and dedication to crafting memorable travel experiences. We categorize them into two main types: Destination Experts and Global Planners.

What's the difference between Destination Experts and Global Planners?

Destination Experts possess in-depth knowledge of specific locations, often stemming from personal experiences or extensive travels in those areas. They provide localized insights and tailored recommendations. Global Planners, on the other hand, have a broader range of expertise and are adept at planning trips that span multiple destinations or have diverse requirements

I'm planning a multi-destination trip. Who should I approach?

For multi-destination trips, especially those within a specific region like Central America, Europe, or Southeast Asia, you can approach both Destination Experts who specialize in that region and our Global Planners. While the Global Planners have a broad expertise spanning multiple destinations, our regional Destination Experts have deep insights into specific areas, making them ideal for trips that cover several places within that region.

How can I identify if a planner is a Destination Expert or a Global Planner?

On our platform, each planner's profile clearly indicates whether they are a Destination Expert or a Global Planner. This ensures you can easily select the right expert based on your travel needs.

What does "Custom Pricing" mean?

"Custom Pricing" means that the cost of trip planning isn't a one-size-fits-all. Instead, it's based on your specific needs, the details of your trip, and the services you request.

Our platform and planners prioritize flexibility. If your travel requirements change, reach out to your planner to discuss any necessary pricing adjustments or modifications to your itinerary.
