Travel & Scouting Trip Consultation

Stop wasting money on vacations disguised as scouting trips.
Start planning like you actually want to move!

You don’t need another travel agent. You need someone who’s been there, done that, and knows how to separate the “this piazza looks cute on Instagram” fantasy from the “can I actually survive here year-round without strangling my landlord?” reality.

That’s where I come in.

 

I’ll help you design a trip that isn’t about checking tourist boxes — it’s about testing your future life.

 

What You Get

 

Think of me as your relocation strategist with a travel focus. I won’t book your flights or hotels. Instead, I’ll give you a clear plan to make every day of your trip count.​

• Customized Itinerary: Not sightseeing, but “decision-making” days.

• Lenses that Matter: Walkability, healthcare, rental market, bureaucracy, community vibe.

• Hidden Red Flags: Drafty apartments, dead winter towns, overpriced “expat traps.”

• Smart Sequencing: So you’re not wasting time zigzagging or missing the details that matter.

• Scouting Scorecard: A way to rank each town so you fly home with clarity, not just photos of olive trees.

• A Custom Playlist: Some great tunes to put a pep in your step!

​

A Sample Day on Your Trip (Teaser)

• Morning: Coffee, yes — but with a purpose. Walk from your rental to the café and the grocery store. Was it easy? Were the sidewalks walkable, or did you play Frogger with Fiats?

• Late Morning: Visit a couple of rental agencies. Ask about long-term contracts, typical costs, and what’s actually available. Note the gap between glossy listings and reality.

• Afternoon: Hit the essentials — pharmacy, post office, bank branch. Do you get service, or blank stares? These errands tell you more about daily life than any tour ever will.

• Evening: Explore neighborhoods you didn’t see online. Is there life after 6 p.m.? Does the town feel safe, vibrant, or deserted?

​

By the end of the day, you’ve tested housing, infrastructure, and lifestyle — not just collected photos of sunsets.

Who This Is For

• You’re serious about moving, not just “dreaming.”

• You want more than glossy blog posts and YouTube montages.

• You’d rather know the bad stuff about a town before signing a lease.

• You value strategy and blunt honesty over sugar-coating.

​

My Approach​

• Step 1: Discovery Call. We figure out your priorities, deal-breakers, and lifestyle needs.

• Step 2: Trip Plan Build. I create a Notion-based scouting plan (simple, interactive, printable if you prefer) tailored to your towns, budget, and timeline.

• Step 3: Execution. You go, explore, take notes, and actually come back with answers.

• Step 4: Debrief. Optional follow-up call to sort what you learned into an action plan.
   

Why Work With Me Instead of Booking a Tour?​

Because this isn’t about vacation. This is about building your future life abroad without wasting time, money, or sanity.

A travel agent sells you a trip. I help you decide where to live, retire, and put down roots. Big difference.
