Stop guessing what your trip will cost.
Build a realistic travel budget you can actually make decisions around.
You have the destination saved. You’ve checked flights. (Probably more than once.) You’ve looked at hotels and started thinking about activities.
But do you know what the WHOLE trip will realistically cost?
GET IT DONE: Travel Budget Building Workshop walks you step-by-step through building a working budget for a trip you’re actually considering.
So instead of wondering, “Can we really afford this?” you can figure out:
Can we make this trip happen now?
What would we need to adjust?
Or how much do we need to save first?
Bring the trip. We'll build the budget.
GET IT DONE is a recorded, hands-on workshop you can work through whenever it fits your schedule.
Watch it all at once or pause as often as you need to research your own trip, plug in your numbers and come back when you’re ready for the next step.
You’ll have access anytime, so you can also return to the workshop when you’re planning future trips.
This isn’t just information about why travel budgets matter.
You’ll actually build yours as we go.
Together, we’ll:
✓ Start with a realistic baseline for your trip
✓ Research your transportation costs, including flights, rental cars, gas, parking, tolls or public transportation
✓ Look at lodging prices beyond the advertised nightly rate so you can account for taxes and fees
✓ Build a food budget based on how your family actually travels and eats
✓ Price out the activities you really want to do and consider alternatives when needed
✓ Plan for the easy-to-forget expenses like tips, souvenirs and unexpected costs
✓ Build in wiggle room so every surprise doesn’t blow the budget
✓ Compare your researched numbers to your original budget and decide where you may want to adjust
✓ Learn how to track your spending before and during the trip so you always know where you stand
