Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a travel planning service or a travel agent?
We are a dedicated travel planning service, devoted to designing journeys that feel both exquisitely curated and warmly personal. Guided by expertise, cultural insight, and a genuine respect for each traveler, we ensure that every recommendation reflects your individual tastes and aspirations.
We remain completely independent and unbiased—our sole commitment is to pairing you with the exceptional providers and experiences that best align with your preferences and vision.
Why choose your service?
Choosing our service means entrusting your journey to a team devoted to exceptional care, thoughtful detail, and uncompromising quality. We combine expert research with personalized insight to create travel plans that feel effortless, refined, and uniquely tailored to you.
We are independent and unbiased, allowing us to curate only the finest options that align with your preferences—not those influenced by partnerships or commissions. Every recommendation is guided by your vision, supported by our global knowledge, and presented with the clarity and attentiveness you deserve.
Our role is to transform planning into an elevated experience—seamless, inspired, and entirely centered around you.
How will the process work?
For our Ascend, Retreat, Journey, and Experience services, a brief form will appear once the service is added to your cart. After you complete the form and your purchase is confirmed, our team will begin curating your personalized itinerary.
For packages that include flights, we will monitor fares over several days to provide an accurate, up-to-date average cost. Once your preferences are finalized, you will receive a beautifully prepared PDF with our curated recommendations, which you may book at your convenience.
Each recommendation will be accompanied by the thoughtful reasoning behind our selections, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident as you complete your travel arrangements.
For our signature Privé service, you will complete your purchase on our website and schedule a personalized consultation call. During this conversation, we will discuss every essential detail of your trip and preferences. With this insight, our team will begin crafting your bespoke itinerary keeping in contact along the way to ensure selections are fully catered to your requirements.
Once complete, you will receive an elegantly prepared PDF featuring our curated recommendations, allowing you to finalize your plans and book each component at your leisure.
Do I need to book my travel right away after receiving recommendations?
No, you are welcome to book your travel arrangements at your own pace. We do recommend, however, keeping in mind that pricing and availability are subject to change.
Why do you not book services?
We do not book services on behalf of our clients because our focus is on providing unbiased guidance, exceptional research, and beautifully curated recommendations—empowering you to make your final selections with confidence and complete control.
By allowing you to handle the actual bookings, we ensure full transparency, flexibility, and direct access to your reservations, loyalty programs, and payment preferences. This approach also eliminates hidden fees, preserves your protections with each provider, and maintains the integrity of the premium experience we tailor for you.
In essence, we curate; you choose—a partnership that keeps your journey both effortless and entirely your own.
What makes your approach different from traditional travel agencies?
Our approach goes beyond simply booking flights and hotels. We focus on curating travel experiences that are thoughtfully personalized, guided by your interests, preferences, and lifestyle. Rather than offering pre-packaged options or promoting providers based on partnerships, we research and recommend only the experiences that align with your vision, ensuring every aspect of your journey is seamless, meaningful, and memorable.
In short, we don’t just plan a trip—we design a travel experience that feels effortless, inspired, and uniquely yours.
