Custom Travel Planning Services

Let me help you plan a custom itinerary for the trip of your dreams.

Let’s start planning!

I have the expertise and passion to bring your dream trip to life while you sit back, relax, and enjoy it, stress-free.

Hi, I’m Hallie – a professional travel advisor with Two Sisters Travel Co. I specialize in creating custom itineraries for travelers who crave thoughtfully planned, meaningful adventures.

Let’s plan your perfect trip, so you can relax, explore with confidence, and make unforgettable memories, without the stress of planning.

Why use my custom travel planning services?

  • Asia & Solo Travel Expertise: I’ve spent 4+ years living and solo traveling across Asia, so you’ll get insider tips, off-the-beaten-path gems, and expert knowledge for your Asia and solo trips.
  • Worldwide Knowledge & Connections: No matter where your wanderlust is taking you, I have trusted partners, insider resources, and vetted recommendations to curate the perfect itinerary.

Custom travel planning services FAQs:

What does “custom travel planning” actually include?

Using custom travel planning services means that every part of your trip, from accommodations and transportation to activities and excursions, is tailored to your travel style, interests, and budget. Your trip is designed entirely around YOU! There are no cookie-cutter itineraries.

There are some portions of your trip that you’ll be responsible for booking, such as dining reservations, spa appointments, and on-your-own sightseeing activities. I find that it’s much easier for you to book these online or directly through the hotel concierge team to maximize flexibility and minimize the need for tons of messages authorizing me to book one-off items.

Why should I work with you when I can use Google and ChatGPT to make my itinerary?

It’s easy to burn out when researching travel online because of how many resources there are to consume, from travel blogs and magazines to TikTok and YouTube videos. How often have you found yourself overwhelmed by falling into the travel research rabbit hole? I’m here to simplify the travel planning process for you so you can skip feeling overwhelmed.

Additionally, online search engines and AI can’t provide the expert insight, personal support, or exclusive connections that a travel advisor can. I’ll curate the most unique, authentic trip for you with heart, experience, intention, and a human touch.

Unfortunately, things can and do go wrong when we’re traveling. I’ll be your biggest advocate, ensuring we find the best possible solution. With my connections to trusted partners, we’ll be able to resolve the problem efficiently with as little stress as possible. No chatbox or search engine can do that!

I don’t know where to go, can you help me decide?

Absolutely. We’ll figure it out together! Whether you’re into beaches, mountains, culture, food, or something specific, I’ll match you with the best destination based on your vibe and travel goals.

Have Asia on your mind, but not sure which country is best for you? Take my Asian destination quiz to get started.

Do you plan trips outside of Asia?

Yes, absolutely! While Asia is my specialty, I love planning trips all over the world and have trusted partners, resources, and vetted recommendations worldwide to build you an incredible itinerary, no matter where your journey may take you.

How far in advance should I start planning?

The earlier, the better, especially for international travel. Ideally, reach out 3-6 months before your desired travel dates. But if you’re planning last-minute, I can still help!

How much do your custom travel planning services cost?

Planning fees vary based on trip length, destination, and complexity. After your consultation call, I’ll provide a clear, custom quote. It’s a one-time flat fee, with no hidden costs. Clients are often surprised to learn that my planning fee for a fully custom itinerary costs about the same as just one or two nights in a hotel, and more than pays for itself through the time saved, exclusive perks, and personalized expertise I provide.

✈️ I help YOU explore the world on effortlessly unforgettable trips
🌏 Asia & solo travel expert
👇 Travel guides, tips, & planning services

thinking about solo traveling in new zealand? here thinking about solo traveling in new zealand? here are 5 things you need to know before you go 🇳🇿✨

1️⃣ it’s one of the safest and easiest countries to travel solo, making it perfect for first-timers and solo travelers still building their confidence
2️⃣ it’s absolutely jaw-dropping… but very spread out, so logistics matter. if you have 2 weeks or less, I recommend focusing only on the south island
3️⃣ it’s on the more expensive side, so most solo travelers stay in hostels and cook most of their meals. hiking is a very popular low-cost activity, but it’s no joke - no get your steps in before your trip!
4️⃣ speaking of hiking, solo hiking safety is important to think about. always let someone know your plans (even if it’s the front desk worker at your hostel) like where you’re going, when you expect to be back, and how to reach you. pay very close attention to the weather (it can change in an instant) and ask locals if it’s safe to hike that day. many hostels will organize group hiking trips, so take advantage of those
5️⃣ if you never want to worry about being alone or getting around, I highly recommend doing the kiwi experience, a hop-on, hop-off bus that helps you make friends & see all the highlights without driving. or, if you’d prefer to not lift a finger, join a group trip! you don’t have to explore new zealand completely on your own, even as a solo traveler 

🎒 if you want to build your own solo new zealand adventure, whether it’s with a group or a supported custom itinerary, I’d love to help. I specialize in custom trips + solo travel planning, so send me a message or hit the link in bio to get started! 💌

2 weeks in new zealand’s south island is the kin 2 weeks in new zealand’s south island is the kind of trip you’ll remember forever 💖

I did this exact itinerary solo with the @kiwiexperience south & sound pass, and it was honestly one of the easiest and most fun ways to explore, especially if you’re traveling alone. the scenery? unmatched. the people? instant friends. the vibes? immaculate.

this itinerary works for anyone, but if you’re thinking about making it happen on your own, consider this your sign to stop waiting for travel companions and do it solo 🗺️
