Auntie Recommends

$75.00

A thoughtful destination shortlisting service

Sometimes the hardest part of planning a trip isn’t what to do, it’s deciding where to go! Auntie Recommends is designed for travelers in the early dreaming stage: you may have interests, goals, dates, or constraints, but no clear destination (or too many possibilities to choose from). This thoughtful, grounded service helps you move from “we could go anywhere” to a confident, well-reasoned decision — without falling down endless research rabbit holes.

When you choose Auntie Recommends, you’ll share details about:

  • Your group’s interests, travel style, and goals

  • Timing, travel windows, and budget considerations

  • Practical constraints (flight/travel time, departure airports, accessibility needs, past trips, etc.)

Auntie will then research and prepare a curated destination summary, delivered as a polished PDF complete with recommendations and next steps.

What You’ll Get

  • A clear summary of your travel priorities and constraints

  • Three thoughtfully selected destination options, chosen specifically for you

  • For each option:

    • Why it fits your goals and interests

    • The overall travel vibe and experience

    • Key logistics considerations (seasonality, ease of travel, general costs, etc.)

    • Any potential drawbacks or tradeoffs to be aware of

  • A final recommendation and suggested next steps

Ideal for:

  • Travelers overwhelmed by too many choices

  • Couples or groups with competing priorities

  • Anyone who knows what they want to experience, but not where to go yet

  • Travelers who want expert guidance before committing to full itinerary planning

Auntie Recommends is a standalone service — and a natural first step before moving into Spoonful of Sugar, Up the Auntie, or Full Auntie itinerary planning once you’ve chosen your destination(s). Auntie Recommends clients even get a special thank you perk when they continue to plan their trip with Auntie.
