Custom Adventure Travel Consultations & Planning

She Saunters provides custom travel planning services that help you experience the awe of the world on your terms. I plan your trip 100% for you, not based on kickbacks or partnerships. I hand-pick options using your travel style and preferences so you and your group can focus on making memories of a lifetime. To help you, I offer consultations and tailor-made adventure travel itineraries.

How it works.

1

Interview

You’ll complete a brief questionnaire and then schedule a free 30 minute session with me so we can clarify your goals and determine which service(s) best meet your needs.

2

Research & Build

I identify options that meet your criteria and depending on the service(s) selected, either outline your options or build your itinerary. During this time I’ll reach out to you for clarifications and feedback.

3

Book & Explore!

Depending on the service(s) selected, either you book or I book, we do trip prep, and then off you go exploring!

Types of services & pricing.

The Consult

$50/hr of research

Sometimes you just need a little help. This option is for you if you just need to delegate an aspect of your trip or need some help kick-starting your planning.  

Delegating an aspect might look like me researching and proposing tour operators for a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon, transportation options to get you to the start of the Milford Trek, or spa options for after you finish your “W” Circuit in Patagonia.  It could also include me developing meal plans,  sending resupplies to a remote destination or, my personal fave, spend every waking hour trying to secure a permit. 

Helping to kick-start your trip planning could be anything from brainstorming ideas of where to go and what to do to narrowing down resources for you to begin your research (e.g. websites, travel blogs, books, maps, FaceBook Groups, etc.)

The amount of time these types of tasks take vary based on the destination and, I am willing to help where it is possible and it makes sense for you. 

What you get (depending on what we agree to in the Interview phase):

  • Summary of options that fit your criteria
  • Booking services
  • Guidance on creating your own itinerary
  • Detailed logistics (e.g. meal planning, resupply shipments, permit strategy, etc.)
