Your trip, planned by someone who lives there

No packages, no algorithm. One named local takes your trip from a first message to the flight home, and it costs nothing until you decide to book.

  1. Today

    Tell us the trip you have in mind

    Five minutes, no account, no fee. Dates, who is travelling, what matters most. Vague is fine: shaping it is what the local is for.

  2. Within 48 hours

    A named local writes your proposal

    Not a template, not a call centre. Someone who lives in the destination, with their name and photo on the plan, refines it with you until it is right.

  3. While you travel

    That same person stays on call

    Book when you are happy. Then your local keeps their phone on: the ferry, the table, the plan B, all handled from inside your destination.

    On call, in your time zone Cancelled ferry Table for tonight Plan B for rain
Travel outside the algorithm

Why a person, not a prompt

An assistant can give you ideas. A local who lives there makes them real, and stays on the line while you travel.

Anna, Asimina, Barbara, Jay and 8 more locals write every proposal personally, from your destination.
Your local
  • Holds the room at a hotel they know, not one an algorithm ranked.
  • Knows the ferry was cancelled this morning, and what to do instead.
  • Answers the phone while you are away, in the same time zone as your trip.
  • Is responsible when something breaks, and reachable when it does.
