★★★★★ “She made the trip better than I could’ve ever imagined.”
— Simran K., verified Trustpilot review
What does a custom trip actually cost?
This is the question most people are afraid to ask first, and it's also the most important one to answer clearly.
The honest answer is: it depends on where you're going, how long you're traveling, your accommodation preferences, and how many people are in your group.
What I can tell you is that custom travel planning is an investment, and I work with travelers across a range of budgets. During our discovery call I'll ask you directly what you're comfortable spending, and I'll be equally direct about what that budget can realistically create.
No vague answers, no bait and switch. Just an honest conversation before anything gets planned or booked.
The Planning Process
Here’s how the process works, from first conversation to the moment you land.
I design trips around who you actually are as a traveler: your pace, your interests, what you want to feel when you're there. Not a template. Not a package someone else already took.
Every trip is built from scratch. Whether it's a family with three generations, a couple celebrating something big, or a group that needs serious coordination, the starting point is always the same: a real conversation about what you're actually looking for.

Discovery Survey
Share your travel ideas through a short survey. This is how I start understanding what you're actually looking for.
Complimentary Call
We go deeper on the details together. This call is where the real planning starts.
Custom-Made Itinerary
I build a detailed itinerary around what actually matters to you; carefully chosen properties, thoughtful pacing, nothing added just to fill the days.
Experience
I'm available throughout your trip. If anything comes up, I handle it directly so it never becomes your problem.
Share
Your feedback shapes how I plan the next trip. I read every word.
Types of Travel
Family travel is where the logistics get genuinely complex, different ages, different energy levels, sometimes different opinions about what sounds fun. I've planned trips for families across multiple generations and I know where the friction usually hides before it shows up.
Family Vacations
Whether you want slow mornings at a remote lodge or an adventure-packed week, I design around the two of you, not a standard honeymoon template.
Couples Getaway
Groups are where the details really matter, alignment on pace, activities that work for everyone, logistics that don't become a second job. I've coordinated trips for 50+ and I know how to make the coordination invisible.
Group Travel
In their words...
Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish
I had an amazing experience working with Ari. She was so attentive to my little details and made the trip even better than I could’ve ever imagined/expected. She was available during the trip as well to answer questions and help out in anyway that I needed. She was able to take all my requests and bring it together with planning out an amazing trip for my husband and I. We would recommend her 100%!
