Our Philosophy on Fees
Our planning fees reflect the depth of our research and the complexity of your vision. After our initial consultation, you will receive a transparent, personalized fee quote based on your destination, duration, and the number of drifters in your party.
Sanctuary Search For those who only require the perfect place to land, we do not charge a planning fee. Through our global network of partnerships, you’ll enjoy elevated perks, room upgrades, and VIP treatment at select hotels–benefits unavailable elsewhere, at no additional cost.
Bespoke Drift Our planning fee is what allows us to remain entirely impartial. It frees us to recommend the hidden gems and boutique stays that best suit your story, regardless of commissions. You can move forward with confidence, knowing every recommendation is chosen for its soul and its fit for your story—never for our bottom line.
A Note on the Road:
Every service we offer can be adapted for you and your four-legged companions. Whether we are finding a pet-welcoming sanctuary or mapping out a slow-road journey with your pups, we ensure the logistics are as seamless for them as they are for you.
