90-minute personalized planning session
You have the idea. Let's turn it into a plan.
Service Description
Whether you're dreaming about a long trip, volunteering abroad, or moving to another country, it can be hard to know where to start, and easy to lose hours going down internet rabbit holes. In 90 minutes, we'll step back, look at the bigger picture, work through your questions and build a practical roadmap for your next adventure. This is for you if: -“I know I want to go, but I don't know where yet.” -“I want to spend a few months abroad and need help figuring out the logistics.” -“I'm considering moving abroad but don't know what I need to think about.” -“I want to volunteer and travel, but I need help making the pieces fit together.” -“I've done tons of research and now I'm more confused than when I started.” What we focus on will depend on your specific project. When booking your session, please share a few details about your situation and what you’re looking for. This will help me prepare and make our time together as productive as possible. We may explore: 🌎 Destination & route options 💰 Budget & cost-of-living considerations 📅 Timeline & planning 🏠 Accommodation & logistics 🛂 Visa and documentation research considerations 🛡️ Safety & practical considerations 🌱 Volunteering options ✈️ Transportation & activities 🧳 Preparation & what to organize before you go 🧭 Your priorities, questions and next steps What's included: 🎥 90-minute video call with me 🧭 Personalized guidance tailored to your project 💡 Recommendations, ideas and practical advice 📝 A clear roadmap/plan with next steps I'll send you after the call 🎥 Recording of the call so you can revisit it while planning IMPORTANT NOTE My guidance is based on 15+ years of personal travel experience, including traveling independently through 35+ countries, living and traveling across different continents and countries, and volunteering abroad. I'll share what I've learned from my own experiences, as well as help you think through your options, research questions and practical considerations based on your specific situation. Please note: these services do not include legal, immigration or professional visa advice, and I do not provide migration or visa application services. Where specialized legal or immigration advice is required, you should consult a qualified professional or the relevant official authorities.
