Trip Planning Services
No two travelers are the same. So why should travel experiences be one size fits all? I can tailor a trip based on your interests, style, timeline, and budget.
Every Detour Lab trip is designed with one goal in mind: To provide one-of-kind authentic travel experiences that inspire you, change you, and stay with you long after you return home.

The Starter Kit
Not sure where in the world to go? Need fresh ideas for destinations that you have not yet considered or even found on that map yet? I can help you pick some truly amazing destinations that are not on the tourism radar- yet. I can also help you narrow down that wish-list of countries down to the perfect one.
The starter kit includes: a one-hour introductory call (zoom preferred) to help determine your travel style, learn about your interests and travel history, and get a sense of your goals for traveling; The Detour Lab travel questionnaire for all the details on budget and type of trip (solo, friends, couple, family, etc); and a special “Lab assignment” that will help me construct the perfect list of suggested destinations for you.
What you get: A customized list of at least three destinations based on the call, questionnaire, and lab work. This is not a cookie cutter, top 20 list from a fancy travel magazine. It’s a list finely tailor to you specifically. Each destination will have a brief description, an explanation for why this place was chosen for you, and a Detour (something off the beaten path, unique, and lesser known) that I think you would love.

The Essentials Kit
For those of you like to plan trips like I do, this kit is perfect for travelers who have already chosen the destination and would like some feedback on the itinerary they are planning. If you have a travel spreadsheet already, then The Essentials Kit is probably the right service kit for you.
The Essentials Kit includes: a one-hour call (zoom preferred for spreadsheet/screen sharing) to get to know you and the trip you are planning; a follow-up email from me with my suggestions to improve or personalize your trip; a custom list of activities for your destination that I think fit your style,
What you get: Logistical suggestions on your current itinerary; a list of attractions, activities, or day trips to enhance your experience that you may not have known about; and the opportunity to follow up with me via email up to three times as your planning progresses.

The Ultimate Kit
All you have to do is click “book it,” pack, and get yourself to the airport on time. I take care of the rest. I even include a packing list to help with that part too!

The kit also include recommendations for accommodation for each night of the trip, local tours and activities, a list of must see-attractions plus places I pick out specifically for you, restaurants and food stops each day, and logistically info to help you get yourself from point A to point B through the trip.
