Before any planning begins, there are two steps to getting started.First, when you book your initial discovery call, you'll complete a brief questionnaire. This gives me a general sense of what you're looking for so we can make the most of our time together.If we decide to move forward after that call, I'll send a more detailed intake questionnaire that covers your travel preferences, style, must-haves, and deal-breakers — everything I need to actually plan well on your behalf. At that point, you'll also be asked to provide a copy of your passport for booking purposes, and an insurance waiver if you choose to decline travel insurance.When it comes time to make a booking, I'll send a credit card authorization form for each payment. Deposits, final payments, and any additional charges are each authorized separately — you'll never be charged for anything without a signed authorization first.All of your information is handled securely through Tern, a platform built specifically for travel professionals. Nothing is stored casually or shared beyond what's needed to manage your booking.

Not automatically. I have a brief discovery call with every potential client before anything moves forward. That conversation helps me understand what you're looking for and whether I'm the right fit to plan it. If we're a good match, we'll get started. If not, I'll tell you that directly.

Yes. Once we agree to work together, you'll sign an Agency Client Agreement, which acknowledges Wanderesque Travel's terms and conditions and establishes our working relationship. For complex custom itineraries that require a planning fee, you'll also sign a Planning Fee Agreement before any work begins.From there, additional documents come into play as your trip takes shape — you'll formally accept or decline travel protection, and provide passport information for booking purposes. If any bookings require a credit card authorization, those will be sent individually at each payment milestone. Nothing gets signed in bulk up front; each document is sent when it's relevant to where we are in the process.

Yes, depending on the size and type of trip. Reach out and we'll talk through the details.
