Who and What is Trip Coach?
We’re Mike and Anne Howard, seasoned travelers who will teach you everything you need to know to take a long-term trip–anywhere in the world and on any budget. Using the knowledge and experience we’ve gained during our five years traveling around the world, we created Trip Coach: in-person workshops tailored to each student to ensure you have the support, tools, and skills to make your journey a reality.
What can Trip Coach teach me?
Our time-tested and approved tips on budgeting, route-planning, transportation, visas, packing, lodging, health, safety, communication, technology, photography, volunteering, travel blogging and so much more.
How to…
- Get free lodging in nearly every major city in the world
- Rack up frequent flyer miles and save thousands on flights (so far we’ve earned 2,692,429 miles and saved $33,713 on 152 flights we’ve bought with miles. That link is every single flight since we left home, Jan 22nd, 2012)
- Pack the perfect combination of gear, tech, and clothes (and equally important, what NOT to pack)
- Turn your smartphone into a travel ninja (best apps for GPS, finance, currency, language translators and more)
- Avoid buying bottled water, saving approximately $1,000 per year (without using those gross iodine tabs)
- Line up the right credit cards and bank accounts to save over $2,000 per year in fees
- Get off the beaten track and experience the most awe-inspiring places on Earth
How much does it cost to take a long-term trip?
This is different for every traveler, and depends on your comfort needs, speed of travel and what regions of the world you wish to see. If you follow our tips and tricks you will be able to travel the world for under $40/day. To see where your travel funds stand, add up your available savings and divide that sum by $40–that’s how many days you can travel. Say you have $5,000 saved up, you can go on a 125-day journey throughout Asia, Central America, Africa, and/or Eastern Europe. Or say you didn’t have any money saved, we’ll work with you on a small-dose savings strategy where if you put $10 a day for two years, you can then go travel for six months without working on the road. If there is a will, there’s a way!
How does Trip Coach work?
Every Trip Coach course is a one-on-one Skype session where we address your travel questions and give you unparalleled advice. It begins with a questionnaire so we can tailor our course to your exact needs and trip, followed by the course of your choosing. There are three levels of Trip Coach service; as they go up, more topics are covered in greater detail and cater more to your specific trip; plus there is increased support during your RTW travel planning process and on the road. The Boot Camps are made to dig deeper into specific travel topics of interest. When you complete any of the courses, we invite you to join our Trip Coach Graduates Group to gain access to exclusive resources, travel news, and most importantly a community of fellow RTW travelers.

Why should I pay for Trip Coach?
Reason #1: Our travel tips will save you at least 5x the total cost of your course. Guaranteed! If you return from your RTW trip and you don’t think Trip Coach saved you at least 5x the cost of our course, we will refund 100% of your course.
Reason #2 (the most important reason): We will teach you how to become a savvy, safe, strong, independent traveler who’s ready for anything. Our training will build your confidence to get off the tourist track and elevate your trip from just connecting a string of beautiful sights into a life-changing journey.
Who can benefit from Trip Coach?
- Someone who realizes that a two-week vacation once a year is simply not enough
- Someone who thinks that waiting until you’re 65-years old to hike glaciers, take up surfing, and party at Rio’s Carnival seems a tad late
- Someone who has a job, maybe a house, and real responsibilities but can’t quiet figure out how to put them on hold
- Someone who has read travel blogs and guide books but realizes the value of sitting down and talking to someone who can directly and specifically answer your questions
- Someone who has traveled extensively but never for more than a month at a time
- Someone who has dabbled with rewards programs and frequent flier miles and is ready to start earning hundreds of thousands of miles per year.
- Someone who believes life is short and it’s time to get after it!
