HOW TO AVOID MISHAPS WHILE TRAVELING
Key inside information to support you in planning your own culturally immersive trip, and how to avoid common mistakes along the way. I have so many tips to share from all my experience of planning personal solo adventures and professional group trips!
If you’ve been struggling to plan the trip of your dreams, it’s totally understandable.
When we’re already at full capacity, planning the kind of trip we really want and need can feel too much. Let me break it down for you, step by step.
Need to get away, take a break, and explore a new place? It’s easy for a vacation to end up staying on the wishlist. Or for the exciting travel dream to turn into a watered down pre-packaged vacation for ease.
That might give you a break of sorts, but it doesn’t feel as fulfilling, and you might find yourself longing for something more. Seeing the world, learning about new cultures, and having a sense of adventure isn’t really on the menu at an all-inclusive resort. That’s why I created this guide, to help you plan a culturally immersive trip where you have more say in every part of your itinerary.
How this guide has supported others
"Laura gave me all the information needed for this guide so that I could help put it together for you. Honestly, talking to Laura about everything she wanted to include in this guide helped me to get clear on all my own vacation destinations/dates for the next year.
I used to be a full-time backpacker before the pandemic but it ground to a halt over all the lockdowns. I spent so much time at home dreaming of getting back out there, but feeling a bit blocked in actually making it happen. It all looked different to before.
Talking to Laura re-ignited my adventurous spirit and spark for travel.
She links lots of resources throughout this guide, including a guide to finding cheaper flights, and packing light. Her practical approach to planning provides the structure to help shift you from sitting daydreaming to booking that next trip!!"

Hi, I’m Laura, and travel changed my life.
I quit my 14-year career in higher education so I could pursue my travel dreams and help other people get out there to see the world.
I’m now a group travel planner, helping solo travelers see more of the world with culturally immersive, authentic travel experiences.
I believe travel is more fun, connected, and transformative when we adventure together while supporting and making a positive impact in the local communities we’re visiting. Let me take the stress out of planning so you can enjoy an unforgettable travel experience while giving back along the way.
I’ve made it my mission to support you in planning the trip of a lifetime, so you can fall in love with the vast, expansive world around you, get to know different cultures, and come back home with a whole new zest for life.
