The trip you'd plan yourself, if you had the time.
Give me a rough idea of your trip and I'll make a plan that avoids the places a tour bus would go, just like I'd plan it for myself. Pick a trip I've done and I'll change it to fit you, or I'll build one from scratch.

How this is different
Not a group tour. Not weeks of research. Not a chatbot list.
Up to 40 hours
of your evenings
Just a list
the planning is still yours
About 2 hours
of your time, in forms and calls
- A day-by-day plan built around you.
- I plan it the way I travel: off the beaten path.
- Every journey between stops planned: which bus, which ferry, how long.
- You book direct. No hotel or company pays me commission.
Who plans your trip
I've been choosing the less obvious route since I was 15.
It started with one choice: South Africa, not the usual US or England. Ever since, I've looked for places few people go.
Tamasfrom Hungary- At 15
South Africa
Exchange yearI met South Africa through its people: traveling independently across the country, living with host families.
- At 17
Quebec, Canada
Exchange yearA normal school year in a small town: ice hockey, a Canadian winter, friends I'm still in touch with.
- At 20
DR Congo
VolunteeringI lived in a Kinshasa neighborhood few foreigners ever see: friendly people, great chats.
- At 21
The UK
UniversityA civil engineering degree, a master's earned while working, and a job managing IT projects.
- Since then
Around the World
I keep traveling with room to get lost: city breaks, hikes, faraway places and once two months around the world.
A trip is more than places to book. I plan the experiences you can't buy.
What's on offer
Two ways I plan your trip
Choose a trip I've already done, or give me a blank page and I'll build one from scratch. Both work well for honeymoons and couples trips. Either way, once you've paid, you fill in a planning form about your pace, must-haves and open questions, then we have a planning call. I draft nothing before we've talked.
Waymarked
from €200planning fee
Not sure where to start? Choose a route I've done myself. I know it first-hand, and we adapt it to your dates, pace and travel style.
Thru-Trails — from €200
Multi-day hikes and treks, for when nature is the whole point.
Horizons — from €300
Multi-week trips blending culture, food, and downtime across a region.
First draft in 3–5 business days after the planning call. Plan for up to 4 travelers, no surcharge.

Uncharted
From €180planning fee
Nothing is fixed in advance. Tell me what kind of trip you want and I'll build the whole thing around it, from a long weekend to a month or more.
Planning fee by length: €180 for 5 days or less, up to €700 for 21 days. Longer trips: custom quote.
First draft in 3–10 business days after the planning call. Plan for up to 2 travelers, then €25–85 for each extra one (4 max).

Not sure yet? Start with a free intro call.
I plan it, you book it. My fee is for the planning only. You book and pay for every flight, stay and activity yourself, in your own name, and the plan tells you exactly what to book and why.
Not the right fit? At the planning call, if either of us decides it isn't a fit, you get a full refund.

Trips I've done
See the full catalog →Waymarked trips
I've done every trip on this list myself. I know which days are worth it and which you can skip, where the crowds go, and the spots you only find out about once you're there. The Horizons trips also work well for honeymoons and couples trips.

Full refund if it isn't a fit
Prices are planning fees, not trip costs, and cover up to 2 travelers. Extra travelers: €25–85 each (4 max).
How it works
Full process & turnaround →Four steps, no surprises
I plan it, you book it. Every flight, stay, permit and transfer is booked by you, in your name. I never pay for or hold bookings on your behalf.
- 01
Pick your trip
Waymarked: pick a route and pay. Uncharted: choose a tier, or start with a free intro call if you're not sure yet.
- 02
Pay & talk it through
Pay, fill in the planning form, pick a time. At the planning call (up to an hour, or 30–45 minutes for Uncharted) we both decide if it's a fit. If not, full refund.
- 03
Get your itinerary
A day-by-day plan as a PDF, in 3–5 business days (Waymarked) or 3–10 (Uncharted) after the planning call. One round of changes is included.
- 04
Go live it
You make the bookings, in your name, at your own pace. Everything you need is in the plan.
What you get
What's in your plan
The basics
Every plan includes these, done properly.
- A planning form and a planning call before anything is written
- A day-by-day route shaped on that call
- Where to stay, stop by stop
- A printable packing list
And then the part that's mine
The basics are only the start. This is what makes a trip work.
- How to get between every stop — which bus, ferry, train or transfer, how often it runs, and what to do when it doesn't.
- Flight routing — which airports to use, and the multi-city combinations that save you a day of backtracking.
- Entry requirements, checked at the source — visa rules, permits and border notes, plus the official application site, so you don't pay a lookalike site three times the fee.
- On Waymarked routes: two or three side-quests, and my own notes — alternatives you can swap in, plus what I'd skip and what I'd do differently next time.
- On Uncharted trips: built from scratch — every choice in the plan comes from your planning form and your planning call.
In the PDF
- The standard route and my variant, side by side on one map
- A basic day-by-day plan with the logistics
Free sample plan
Everyone hikes the standard route through Svaneti, a mountain region in Georgia. Here's the quieter variant I found instead.
The standard trek from Mestia to Ushguli takes 3–4 days. My variant starts in Nakra and ends in Chvelpi, takes 9 days, and passes Guli Pass, the Koruldi Lakes and Lagem Pass, with less traffic and better light in the morning and evening.
Want it fitted to your dates and pace, with a planning call and my side-quests? That's the paid Svaneti route →
Tell me where you want to go
No sales talk. Tell me roughly what you have in mind and I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth doing.
I only plan around 5 trips a month, so each one gets proper time. If your dates don't work for me, I'll say so rather than take the booking.
