Adventure Vacations by Stacey
TRAVEL PLANNING SERVICES

A Better Trip Starts With a Better Plan

Personalized travel planning for experience-driven travelers who want authentic places, thoughtful details, and none of the research overwhelm.

Your vacation shouldn't feel like a second job

Endless research, conflicting advice, and scattered details can take the excitement out of planning. I bring clarity, curation, and calm to the process — so you can focus on what matters most — the experience.

Too many tabs

Too many tabs and conflicting recommendations

Generic recommendations

Generic itineraries that don’t reflect the traveler

Details that don't connect

Disconnected reservations and complicated logistics

I turn your ideas into one seamless, experience-rich journey.

Choose the level of support you need

Travel is personal—and so is the way you want to plan it. Our three planning experiences offer different levels of guidance, collaboration, and hands-on support. Not sure which option is right for you? We’ll help you choose the best fit during your onboarding call.

All planning services begin with a planning fee of $500, payable in advance.

The hotel matters more than most people realize. To protect the quality of your experience, we require all accommodation to be booked through our team. 

The Curated Journey

Expert direction with room to make it your own.

The Curated Journey gives you a thoughtfully designed foundation without removing you from the planning process. We’ll help you choose and book accommodations, develop a personalized itinerary, and recommend the places and experiences genuinely worth your time.

 

You’ll receive insider destination knowledge, trusted recommendations, and access to vetted experiences while retaining responsibility for details such as dining reservations, local transportation, and individual activity bookings.

 

Because accommodations shape the location, pacing, and overall quality of your vacation, all lodging must be reserved through Adventure Vacations by Stacey.

The Signature Journey

Personalized from beginning to end.

The Signature Journey is our complete travel-planning experience for clients who want a highly considered vacation without taking on the research, reservations, and logistical details themselves.

We’ll translate your interests, priorities, and travel style into a seamless itinerary, coordinating accommodations, private guides, transfers, dining, and carefully selected experiences. Every confirmation is organized in one easy-to-use itinerary, and you’ll have expert support before and during your vacation.

From meaningful local encounters to insider access and exceptional places to stay, every element is selected for how well it fits you—not simply because it appears on a standard itinerary.
