Costa Mesa, CA, USA

I’ll consider your group make up and preferences to develop a custom itinerary for your dates, based on weather, special events, and crowd predictions. 

Premium package includes helping you choose dates for your trip. I keep a close eye on events and weather patterns, so I can advise you on when you’ll get the most out of it.

Once you’ve seen the draft, let me know what you want to change and I’ll make one set of revisions.

Where and when would you like to go? For standard package, please provide dates. For premium package, please provide duration and season or considerations for choosing dates (crowd avoidance, specific things to see, etc.).

What is the make up of your party? Solo, couple, 3 friends, family of 2 adults and a teenager, etc?

Are there specific things you want to focus on, such as art, stargazing, hiking, or something else?
