Planning a trip can be stressful and confusing, but I'm here to help and make the process enjoyable. 

I offer 1:1 consultations to help you plan your dream trip. Whether it's a two-week trip to Europe, or a 12-month backpacking trip around the world, I can help you create your ultimate itinerary. 

Having travelled extensively around the globe, I'm keen to share my knowledge and empower others to do the same as me. 

I offer a range of different calls to suit different needs. If you're planning a big trip and starting from scratch, I'd recommend a sixty-minute call to discuss all your requirements. If you have an idea of what you want to do but are looking for specific tips, I'd suggest a 45-minute call. 

I'm really excited to help you plan your trip. Let's do this.

Recommendations are a great way to get personalised tips for your trip on a budget. It's hands down one of my favourite parts of the job. The backpacking community was built by travellers sharing their tips and advice and I love helping others. It's why I started my own travel business. 

Not sure what to pack for your first backpacking trip? Want to know what the absolute best activities somewhere are? How about where to eat or festivals to visit? I'm here to help you with whatever you need. 

Please be as specific as you can. Include information such as your timeframe and budget. 

I currently offer personalised recommendations for the following countries: New Zealand; Japan; the Philippines; Malaysia; Thailand; Vietnam; Cambodia Iceland; Guatemala; Ecuador; Costa Rica; Namibia and South Africa. 

I also cover general topics such as: backpacking; solo travel; quitting your job; budgeting; saving for travel and embarking on your first backpacking trip. 

Please share the timeframes including what time of year you're visiting and how long you will be there for.
