Share your vision

​Why work with me?

Raelinn Doty Schmitt
Owner & Bon Vivant

​​I​ spent over twenty years in food and beverage, hospitality, travel, sales and pricing. Whew! And I’ve brought it all together under one roof so that I may share my expertise with you through travel. I carefully craft travel in a culturally respectful way to offer you experiences that allow you to deeply treasure and, if desired, contribute to everything the world has to offer.

As a world traveler myself, I've visited 23 countries and have had the enormous pleasure of living in France, Italy and Morocco. So I deeply understand the needs and wants of a traveler. And I have long relationships with trusted travel partners and small business owners (most of whom have become friends) on the ground in every location I work with.  

The focus of my travel offerings is on what I love most and what I'm best at doing---fully customized travel working with small businesses so we can have a positive impact on the communities we visit.

​Some of my areas of specialization include most Mediterranean countries. I'm a Certified Specialist by the tourism boards of Italy, Spain and Greece. Some of my favorite experiences are sailing on the Ionian Sea or the Adriatic off the coast of Croatia, savoring  delectable delights on culinary and wine vacations in Italy, Portugal and Spain, and plunging myself into immersive cultural experiences like camel trekking in the Sahara with the Amazigh or spending the day with the Sami in Norway or the Inuit in Iceland.​

I hope you might share your favorite travel experiences with me.

A bonding experience.
A transformation.

​My process...

​YOU'VE FOUND ME: Now what?
So often when we start thinking of our next travel experience, we don’t know where to begin---even if it’s just for a weekend getaway, much less a bucket list vacation. So I’d like to take away some of the confusion that might surround the planning process and make it as easy as possible for you. 

STEP ONE: Inquire.
The first step towards creating your dream vacation is to complete my inquiry form. Once I’ve received your form, I will reach out to schedule your intake call. Only inquiries submitted via my website will be vetted. To reduce the risk of missing an important message, I do not accept inquiries via social media or text messages. If you're ready now, you can begin here.

STEP TWO: Consultation.
After I receive your inquiry form, I'll send you an email with a link to schedule your complimentary discovery call. During this call, you will select the planning option that best suits your needs and we will review my services together. I'll send you an invoice for the level of planning services you select. Once the invoice for your planning option is paid, I'll begin creating your initial travel proposal.

STEP THREE: Proposal Review.
I’ll combine takeaways from our intake call with my expertise and global connections to create a travel proposal option for you to review. Timely and thorough feedback from you is paramount during this phase so we can secure the components of your trip you desire and deserve! Proposals are valid for 2 weeks from the date sent. And there is a maximum of 2 revisons on certain plans. 
​
STEP FOUR: Confirm Your Itinerary.
Once you approve your proposal, you will be invoiced for the deposit amount. Your trip will not be secured until after your deposit is paid and the suppliers confirm reciept. Deposits and final due dates vary and depend on proximity to the trip and the policies of my partners.

Then all that's left is for you have to have fun preparing and enjoy your travel experience!
