Trip Planning

The Auld Romantics

Some trips might work better without a schedule and with the company of your own choosing–whether it’s by yourself, as a couple, with a loved one, or friends. No one else’s predetermined timetable or stops along the way required–just your own plans, your own pace, and time in an unforgettable place.

While those trips are exhilarating, they can also be a daunting thing to plan yourself. There are hundreds of places to stay, things to see, and adventures to be had abroad, and we’ll help you find the perfect places to linger along your journey. So, if you would rather go this route but arrive feeling prepared to take on your own adventure, we will help you build the perfect trip for you and your style of traveling.

Her deep expertise of the area, combined with her genuine passion for ensuring we had the best trip possible, made our experience truly unforgettable.

How it Works

One

Dream

A complimentary conversation about what you want from the trip — how long you have, how fast you like to move, whether you are after the ruin or the restaurant or both.

Two

Build

Whether it’s a sample itinerary with recommendations for your destination, a complete bespoke day-by-day itinerary, or even have one of the Selkie Sisters come along to be your own personal guide, we have multiple options available to make sure your adventure is the perfect one for you.

Three

Support

Once abroad, we will just be a phone call or text away, in case of any advice needed.

Your pace, your plans, our experience.

What Travelers Say

My husband and I had the opportunity to attend the 152nd Open at Royal Troon, Scotland in July 2024. We decided to plan a 10 day trip to explore some of this beautiful country which had always been a dream for us. With the expert help of Cari Powell, we had an AMAZING experience! Having lived in the UK, Cari has first hand knowledge of all things Scotland from historical sites to restaurants, shops, accommodations, and lots of inside tips. Our itinerary was thoughtfully planned out to accommodate our pace and things we wanted to see. It was a wonderful balance of history, nature, city life, and a little Outlander. She went the extra mile and planned two itineraries to give us a wide range of options, I wish we could have done it all!!

We quickly fell in love with the history and beauty of this very special place! The people were so welcoming and friendly! The food- never had a bad meal! There were so many wonderful places to choose from whether we were in a big city or a small fishing village. We can’t say enough about what an amazing experience this was and hope to return one day to explore more of this magical part of our world. If Scotland is on your bucket list, I highly recommend it!

Cari was an incredible travel planner for us! She listened carefully to our desires and helped us structure a trip that included all of our “must-sees” efficiently. Once our travel was officially booked, Cari provided specific recommendations (food, shopping, hidden-gem type places, experiences, parking options, etc.) for each location. Her deep expertise of the area, combined with her genuine passion for ensuring we had the best trip possible, made our experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!
