Looking to plan your next trip abroad?
This Rare Earth can help!
Hey, friend! My name is Monica and I am the founder of This Rare Earth.
I have more than a decade of experience in planning itineraries for trips all over the world, both for myself and many others. From the deserts of the Middle East to the lush jungles of French Polynesia, my goal is to help YOU plan your next trip with ease.
As a solo female world traveler, I have visited over 50+ countries with no group tours or pre-packaged holidays. Trip planning is my specialty!
Whether you are an off the beaten path solo traveler or are dreaming of an unforgettable honeymoon destination, I am confident I can provide you with an incredible itinerary filled with all of the essential travel information you’ll need for your dream trip!
Life is beyond busy these days. And while you likely know how to book your own flights and hotels, maybe you lack the time to sit down and plan your next vacation, or are feeling overwhelmed with options and don’t know where to start. Between work, school, hobbies, and kids, planning a trip is a lot to take on.
That’s where I come in!
If you already know you want some travel planning help, feel free to jump to the bottom!!
With my services, your needs are my priority. You can choose from a variety of packages, ranging from basic trip planning to a fully customized itinerary tailored to your unique travel preferences and needs!
The idea here is that I do all of the research and planning, and all you have to do is book!
This not only saves you countless hours and stress staring at a computer screen, but it also keeps your costs down, since you’ll be avoiding the high price-tag of a pre-packaged tour or the booking fees of a standard travel agent. And, best of all, you leave the research, planning, and details to me!
Once finished, you’ll be left with a step-by-step guide on exactly how to book your carefully-designed trip of a lifetime.
Some real-life example itineraries I have created include:
- A couple’s itinerary through Southeast Asia, focused on nature and culture.
- A father-daughter trip to Eastern Europe, focused on history and food.
- A girls-trip to a tropical island, focused on water activities and relaxation.
So whatever it is you are looking for, I can likely help!
If you want to tackle Egypt but feel intimidated, I can pass on first hand knowledge of the best ways to see World Wonders like the Pyramids, while keeping yourself (and your gear) safe.
Or, if you are dreaming of a bucket list African safari, I can give you suggestions based on first hand experience throughout Africa – not to mention, stops where your entry fee goes directly to wildlife conservation and protection.
Whether you already know exactly where you want to go, or you need help choosing a destination that fits your travel budget and style, I’m here to help you.
