Venture & Gain Travel Complimentary Trip Consult

Not sure what you're looking for, need or what service is best for you?
Schedule a complimentary consult to learn more about my services and see if we'd be a good fit!

I offer end-to-end trip planning, one-off travel consultations, and hourly itinerary drafting & concierge service.

NOTE: Travel consultations start at $150/hour and End-to-end trip planning services start at $500 for 2 people and up to 6 nights/7 days of travel. Service fees are adjusted based on the complexity of the trip, the number of travelers, etc. Planning fees are reduced for less complex weekend trips or waived for hotel-only bookings, on a case-by-case basis.

Typically, my clients find the most value in booking end-to-end planning services where I handle all or most of the logistics or bookings. You can be as involved or as hands-off on your trip as you like!
