RTW Travel Planning Sessions

All Trip Coach courses are one-on-one sessions where Anne & Mike personally address your travel questions and give you highly customized and valuable advice. As the levels go up, we cover more topics in greater detail, further cater to your specific trip route, and increase the on-going support options throughout your planning process and time on the road. In addition to our long-term travel courses, we run subject-intensive boot camps: Frequent Flyer Bootcamp (focusing exclusively on free flights around the world), how to elevate your travel blog (earning money and free luxury stays with your blog), and planning an epic honeymoon (how to splash out without breaking the bank). Once you’ve completed any of our courses, you will be invited to join our private Trip Coach Graduates Facebook group and gain access to exclusive resources, time-sensitive travel deals, and most importantly a community of fellow world travelers who are planning/departing/living/returning from their own journeys.

We recommend Trip Coach for anyone looking to travel for a month or more. If you’d like to get far-flung on a time-crunch or need help coordinating your itinerary, check out HoneyTrek Trips…our off-the-track travel agency.

TESTIMONIALS

–John G., Trip Coach Master Course graduate

–Jared & Rikki, Trip Coach Power Course graduate

“It was amazing to have someone to talk to that’s been through this situation and can understand and advise on the various obstacles of RTW travel. Anne & Mike are personable and professional and have tons of great advice to give. At first we thought three hours would be too much time, then when we started listing our questions we had a lot of ground to cover. We also so happy to have a lifeline to turn to when we are on the road and get more personalized recommendations and feedback.”
–Kerry & Chris, Trip Coach Power Course graduates.
(Check out their trip blog: Passport Penguin!)

“As soon as our first session was done, we both looked at each other and say “Phew, thank God for them! How would we do it without them as our travel coach?!” They are so easy to talk to and make it very easy to ask questions. They shed light on things we didn’t even think about and although it is nerve-wracking – it’s what we needed to hear. They gave us the tools, the knowledge and the confidence that we needed to know that our dream was most definitely becoming a reality. The advice they give is unparalleled and more importantly, the support and encouragement they give is priceless. We truly believe that they believe in us and, in a world where this journey is not “normal,” having people support you is crucial. There are not enough words to begin to express our gratitude towards Mike and Anne but one thing is FOR SURE…if you have a calling to travel the world, look no further. HoneyTrek Trip Coach is your ticket to living a life you can look back on and be so proud about.”
–Lisa & Sean, Trip Coach Master Course graduate

“I met Mike and Anne at a really pivotal juncture in my life. I had made the decision to quit my job and move from NYC to take a career break a few months prior, but was experiencing a lot of doubt and anxiety around the decision and how to make it all really happen. Not only did they quell my doubt and anxiety about taking big solo trip, but they presented a very clear pathway of how it all can materialize. The session was packed full of great information related to planning, budgeting, tips and tricks, and tons of resources that I am still culling through. I will reference this new knowledge during my own career break over the next 6-12 months, and anytime I travel in the future. I strongly recommend anyone who is entertaining the idea of a career break or long term travel (or even a short trip could be made more meaningful with their advice) to connect with Mike and Anne – it will change your life forever!”
–Hai Phung, Power Course graduate

“My husband surprised me on Valentine’s Day with a Trip Coach Zoom session, and I’ve got to say, it definitely beat chocolate and flowers!!! Mike and Anne gave us incredibly helpful tips for accumulating airline miles fast, making extra money before our trip, putting together a packing list, route, and much more. They told us things I wouldn’t have even thought of in a million years! Our session with them will easily pay for itself on our trip and even more importantly has given me the piece of mind to move forward with our year abroad. Thank you so much Mike and Anne!”
–Alex & Jim, Trip Coach graduate

“Mike and Anne offered us invaluable information and insight that helped guide our planning from start to finish. With their help we streamlined our packing list and were able to downsize our luggage to just a 40 liter backpack each for our round the world trip. They also helped us earn over 60,000 miles to use on our flights! They had great advice on which electronics to bring (and which to ditch), budgeting on the road and safety. We are super excited to visit their specific off-the-beaten-path recommendations in Turkey and Indonesia. Our Trip Coach course with Mike and Anne not only helped us be more prepared, but got us unbelievably excited for our upcoming adventure!”
–Katy & Mike, Q&A Zoom Session

“Mike and Anne gave me so much inspiration and detailed trip planning ideas and support. Even though I only had two weeks before my departure, their input was invaluable and gave me some much needed confidence in the areas I was concerned about. If anyone is thinking of taking a long trip you should definitely reach out to them!
–John, Trip Coach Master Course graduate

“Getting on the phone with Anne and Mike and talking through what we were looking for in a honeymoon…that helped me define our approach to the entire trip! From their hotel and activity recommendations to mileage tips, they have experienced it all first-hand so having their input is very valuable.”
–Matt & Jacqui, Honeymoon Planning Boot Camp
