FAQ

Have questions? I have answers.

Yes! But sorting through them takes hours (and hours) and you still may not find all the options that a national park expert can. If trip planning sounds like a headache, let someone who loves it do it for you.  I can create a plan that’s tailored to you and your travel companions—your style, pace, and budget—so you spend less time scrolling and more time exploring.

Not directly. I give you all the vetted links, contacts, and resources you need, so booking is quick and stress-free. This way, you keep the flexibility and control over your reservations without losing the benefit of expert planning.

Travel agents usually sell pre-packaged tours and work with a small number of preferred tour operators. I don’t. I create custom itineraries that fit your style, whether that’s scenic drives, short hikes, or unique experiences. Think of it as freedom to choose, with expert guidance along the way.

Typically, you’ll receive a draft plan within 3–4 business days of signing a contract and paying a deposit (or full payment).

Absolutely. I started traveling as a budget backpacker, so I know the importance of good deals. I shop around on multiple sites to recommend the best prices for hotels, activities, and transportation that align with your budget.

Nope! National Parks are my passion, but I can plan trips anywhere. I’ve been to 45+ countries on 6 continents, almost every state, and many state and international parks. If you’re looking for scenic beauty, memorable experiences, and a trip built around your preferences, I can help.

It really depends where you want to go and when. Popular parks during peak season require more advance planning, but there are usually options for last minute trips. Ideally, 3-6 months before your travel dates, but I can work with less and more is great if you have specific in-park lodges you want to stay in.
