1. FIRST CONTACT:
You contact me, either via the dedicated questionnaire form available on this website, or by email (yptravelplanner@gmail.com)
To help you the best, I would need various information such as:
– the number of days,
– the destination (if you don’t have a precise idea, no problem! I can suggest based on your preferences!),
– the number of persons (and if it includes babies, children, teenagers, adults, disabled persons),
– your preferences in terms of activities (are you more museums or treks?),
– the need for specific logistics (wheelchair, pets) and, for instance, if there are any allergies to be handled.
an idea of the budget limit would also help, of course.
We can also schedule a meeting (telephone, WhatsApp, Skype, Teams, Zoom…) to discuss what you have in mind, or we can handle the communication via messages, as you prefer! I can answer your questions and further explain what I can offer.
Discussions can be handled in French, English and Norwegian. My Spanish is still rudimentary but we can try!
2. FIRST IDEA:
After a first order search on the feasibility of your travel, I will come back to you with an idea of the travel plan, a budget estimation and a quote for my service.
3. VALIDATION:
If you are interested to get the full Travel Plan, you validate the summary of our discussion(s), the quote and pay my prestation online. If you want information about the costs, check the ‘How much does it cost‘ page or contact me!
4. MY WORK:
Once the payment validated, I will work full time on your project.
I do detailed searches and begin to build your personalized itinerary. I will surely come back to you for further information and discussions, to make sure I fulfil all your requirements and can offer you the best plan.
5. THE FIRST ORDER PLAN:
Within 7-10 days, I will come back to you with a first order itinerary and daily activities agenda. However, to finalize the document, I will need you to fulfil Step 6!
6. YOU BOOK:
So that you remain the sole decision maker, you will book the hotels, the attractions if needed, and buy the travel tickets (flight, train, bus…) on your own. For that, I will offer a detailed list of recommendations for the hotels, with often 2-3 options per site, so that you can check the proposed alternatives and make your final personal decision. The same for the transport options: I will list the various options that fit your criteria and you will decide on your own. Of course, if needed, we can discuss and I can answer your questions. I will provide all the necessary details to make sure you have the needed information to book everything in confidence.
7. THE FULL TRAVEL PLAN:
I will ultimately send your fully personalized Travel Plan that will include:
–> A file archiving all the GPS points needed to follow your route. You will be able to open this file under applications such as MapsMe app and/or GoogleMap – so you can have all the locations visible on your smartphone at all times during the trip, including offline.
–> A complete guide, in pdf format with A4 pages so that you can easily print it on your side, load it on all types of platforms (computer, tablet, phone) and consult it offline at any moment. This guide will include:
– a summary of key information about your destination, including practical information and advice (visa requirements, covid status, currencies, basic vocabulary, etc.)
– a detailed daily agenda listing all activities hour by hour and detailing all visited sites, hotels and restaurants
instructions for getting from one point to another
– all information listed with direct clickable links to relevant web pages/documents
– and, if needed, necessary information for dietary restrictions, food allergies, disabilities and special pet logistics.
8. THE TRAVEL:
During your travel, if you have questions, you can contact me, and I’ll help with any demands!
9. AFTER THE TRAVEL:
Any feedbacks, positive and negative, will be extremely welcome to help improve my offer!! So, if you agree, I will come back to you, by message and/or by a phone/video call to make the point with you. Thank you 😉
10. A PHOTO BOOK?
Once back, you may want to archive your memories in a nice album?
If you are interested in creating a photo book with the pictures of your travel, I can also help and can communicate an offer.
Interested?! then, let’s go to the questionnaire!!!
