Questions

Answers to what matters most before you book your next journey.

What does a travel designer actually do?

A travel designer plans and books your trip from start to finish, but goes beyond logistics. We take time to understand how you like to travel and build an itinerary around that, not a generic template.

Is this different from using a travel agent?

The idea is similar, but the approach is more personal. We work with a small number of clients at a time and are involved in every detail, from the first conversation to the day you get home.

How much does it cost to work with you?

Planning fees start at $100 CAD for a simple trip and go up depending on complexity. There's also a free discovery call so you can get a feel for how we work before committing to anything.

Do I pay more for my trip by using a travel designer?

Not necessarily. Our supplier relationships often come with perks like room upgrades, hotel credit and daily breakfast. In many cases those benefits offset the planning fee entirely.

What kinds of trips do you plan?

Honeymoons, family holidays, group getaways, corporate retreats, milestone celebrations and more. If it involves travel, we can help design it.

Do you only work with clients in Vancouver?

No. We work with clients across Canada and beyond. Being based in Vancouver just means we have strong local connections for anyone travelling through the West Coast.

How do I get started?

The easiest way is to fill out the inquiry form or book a short discovery call. We'll get in touch to learn a bit about your trip before anything else.

What if I already know where I want to go?

That's a great starting point. We can work with a destination you have in mind and build the rest of the trip around it, or help refine the details if you want a second opinion.
