Our journey together begins with a complimentary consultation where we discuss your travel dreams, preferences, and expectations. I'll ask about your ideal pace, must-see experiences, accommodation preferences, and any special requirements to understand exactly what will make this trip perfect for you.

Based on our conversation, I'll craft a customized travel proposal featuring carefully selected destinations, accommodations, activities, and transportation options tailored to your interests and budget. This proposal serves as our foundation, which we'll refine together until it perfectly captures your vision.
