Why Long-Term Travel Planning Matters
Most people plan for their next trip. The result?​ Rushed decisions, missed milestones, higher costs, and “we’ll do that someday” trips that never happen. Planning your travel over the next 5–10 years allows you to:​​​
-
Prioritize once-in-a-lifetime experiences
-
Align your travel with family milestones and life stages
-
Spread costs thoughtfully over time
-
Travel at the right pace—while health, energy, and curiosity are high​
​
This isn’t about locking you into a rigid plan. It’s about creating a clear, flexible roadmap that gives you confidence and freedom. ​
What This Type of Planning Looks Like
Together, we look beyond the next trip and answer bigger questions:​
-
What destinations matter most to you—and why?
-
Which trips are best now vs. later?
-
How does travel fit around kids, grandkids, work, or retirement timing?
-
Where does comfort, adventure, or depth matter most?
-
How can we mix big “wow” trips with easier, restorative ones?
-
Who do you want to travel with?
​
The result is a balanced travel portfolio—not just a list of places.


What You’ll Walk Away With
When we plan your travel over the next 5–10 years, you receive:
✔ A high-level travel roadmap
✔ Priority trips by year or life stage
✔ Budget guidance to avoid surprise spikes
✔ Destination timing advice (best seasons, crowd levels, value windows)
✔ A flexible plan that evolves as life does
You don’t need every detail finalized—you need clarity.

-
Want to travel more intentionally
-
Are balancing family, career, or multiple generations
-
Have “bucket list” trips but don’t know where to start
-
Value comfort, local experiences, and expert support

Want someone thinking ahead with you
