How do I get started?

For Update Later Travel, it is simple, you have two options:

1. Submit a Travel Survey . This works as a contact form and starts the process on planning your trip. ULT will be in touch within 48 hours after the form is submitted with a customized quote, timeline and point of contact to answer any questions you may have or to clarify points made on the Travel Survey.

2. If you are interested in asking questions and/or receiving more information, reach out to Update Later Travel’s email.

What if I want to add to/take away or change my answers on the Travel Survey?

That is no problem at all ! When we are fleshing out details about a trip, sometimes our preconceived notions and ideas change once we have more information. Feel free to submit an email with any edits.

How will my itinerary or information be submitted to me?

In general, I create my itineraries using Google Docs. This itinerary can be robust and organized with tabs, which allows easy breakdown of the information. With every Google Doc, I will send you also a dedicated Google My Maps (which can be utilized using the Google Maps application on your phone).

I’m happy to convert this to a PDF if you don’t have access to Google Docs. And ultimately, I will do what I can to give you the information in a way that works for you and is easy for you to use! Let’s chat!

Can you plan AND book my trip?

At this time Update Later Travel is strictly itinerary etc. planning only. We will not book flights or accommodations on your behalf. However, rest assured that if you are interested in bookings (tours, reservations, flights, accommodations etc.) we will make your booking experience easy with detailed instructions, accompanying links and information.

Why should I book with you?

Great question! In a slightly saturated travel market, what makes us different is simply our love for travel. We are going to plan your trip like we are taking it ourselves, ensuring that the quality is top notch. Additionally, the level of detail included in our own travel will be translated into your itinerary as well. You can be confident knowing we are finding the perfect hole in the wall, grandma’s meatballs type restaurant in Italy for you. Or the best and safest spot to go skydiving in New Zealand. You can put your trust in us for an amazing vacation.

What destinations do you specialize in?

While we haven’t been everywhere (yet!), our passion for travel means we invest time and energy into researching and crafting the best experiences for every destination. We specialize in curating unique trips based on thorough research and a deep understanding of each location, whether it’s a bustling city, a serene retreat, or an adventurous escape. Our commitment to your trip goes beyond just the logistics—I'm dedicated to ensuring every detail reflects your interests and desires.

What about group or special event travel?

The more, the merrier! I'd be happy to provide references from friends who are familiar with my group trip planning and can vouch for the experience. 😉

How involved will I be in the planning process?

Your level of involvement is entirely up to you. If you want to have a hands-on role and personalize every step of the planning process, we are here for it! Collaboration is key, especially if you’ve already started planning or have specific goals in mind. On the other hand, if you’d rather just show up and follow a seamless, ready-to-go itinerary, we have that covered too. The more details you provide in the travel survey, the better we can tailor the experience to your vision. And rest assured, if we need any clarification along the way, we will reach out to ensure everything aligns with your perfect trip.

How do you choose or recommend accommodations and activities?

It all depends on your interests! For example, if you're in Paris but prefer to skip the museums, the Louvre won't make it onto your itinerary. Instead, we would suggest unique experiences like a stroll through Parc des Buttes Chaumont, where you can enjoy stunning views of the Sacré-Cœur, or a boulangerie tour to sample the city's best croissants. Your answers in the travel survey will help guide us in finding the perfect place to stay and the activities that will make your trip unforgettable

What does an Update Later Travel itinerary look like?

This is the level of detail I bring to planning my own trips (hello, Type A!). It’s all part of the 'Everything' Package. What you see here is a sample from the first day of a 4-day Cinque Terre itinerary, including travel details, restaurant recommendations, and suggested activities.
