You absolutely can! And if comparing 37 hotels, reading conflicting reviews, researching airport transfers, and figuring out why your resort is two hours from everything sounds like a good time, I support your enthusiasm.But if you'd rather spend that time looking forward to your vacation, that's where I come in.Born A Nomad takes care of the research, recommendations, coordination, and little details that make a trip feel thoughtfully planned instead of pieced together.

Yes. Thoughtful travel planning takes time, research, and a little behind-the-scenes magic.Our non-refundable Planning & Design Fee starts at $150 for individuals and couples and $250 for groups.This covers the time and expertise involved in researching destinations, developing recommendations, and designing a travel experience around your needs.What about contracted or complex groups?Groups requiring negotiated room blocks, supplier contracts, customized payment arrangements, or ongoing coordination are quoted individually. A comprehensive planning and management fee is determined by the size and complexity of your group and the services required.Your specific fee will always be confirmed for your review and approval before planning begins. No surprises.

Perfectly fine!You don't need a destination, a detailed itinerary, or a spreadsheet with seventeen tabs.Maybe you know you want sunshine. Maybe you're celebrating something special. Maybe you just need to be somewhere nobody knows your name—or asks you what's for dinner.Tell me what you're imagining, how you want to feel, and what matters most. We'll start there.

Absolutely! Friends, families, birthday celebrations, reunions, cruises, and other group getaways are all welcome.I help coordinate the moving pieces so everyone has the information they need, and the person who brought the group together actually gets to enjoy the trip.Because being the group organizer shouldn't automatically make you the unpaid travel coordinator.

No—and your friendships may thank us for it.For qualifying group trips, travelers can make their own payments through our secure travel-management system and adjust their payment schedule to what works for them, provided required deposits and final-payment deadlines are met.Automated reminders help keep everyone on track without making the group organizer chase Cousin Whoever for his deposit.

Yes!When airfare is part of a vacation package, there is no additional airfare booking fee.For standalone airfare reservations, the booking fee is $25 per domestic flight segment or $50 per international flight segment.Airfare is subject to airline policies, including applicable baggage fees, fare restrictions, changes, and cancellations. Any airline-imposed charges are separate from Born A Nomad's booking fees.All applicable Born A Nomad service fees will be explained before booking. No surprises.

I strongly recommend it.Even the best-planned vacations can encounter unexpected circumstances—illness, delays, cancellations, lost luggage, or other disruptions.Travel protection can help reduce the financial impact of certain covered events, depending on the policy.I'll provide information about available options so you can make an informed decision. You're welcome to purchase or decline coverage, but I want you to understand what you're choosing.Because surprises are much more enjoyable when they involve an ocean-view upgrade.

That depends on the supplier, destination, and type of trip.Many vacation packages require final payment at least 45 days before departure, although some suppliers and reservations have earlier deadlines.Your specific payment schedule will be clearly communicated when you book, along with any applicable deposit requirements.No one should have to guess when their vacation balance is due.

First, I'll review the details you've shared to get a sense of what you're imagining.Then I'll follow up to discuss your trip, confirm the applicable Planning & Design Fee, and explain the next steps.Once we're ready to move forward, I'll begin researching and designing recommendations tailored to you.You can officially close those seventeen browser tabs.I've got it from here.
