Once you’ve booked a consultation with an Advisor, a member of the SoloTrvlr team will work with you to schedule it and send you a short pre-call questionnaire to fill out, to ensure you get the most tailored advice for your trip.
From there, it’s all about you. There’s no set structure for the conversation; the session is completely collaborative and tailored to your travel plans and interests. You can sk questions, get advice, and discuss whatever you need for your trip.The consultation ends when the time is up. Subsequently, you’ll receive a personalized Cheatsheet with all of the intel and recommendations you and your Advisor covered in your session—so you don’t have to worry about taking notes!

You can ask anything travel-related, from whether (and where) it’s safe to walk alone at night to practicalities like where to buy tampons (and how to ask for them!) Need dining advice? Your Local Advisor will share her go-to neighborhood spots and steer you to a hyper-local Italian cooking class taught by a beloved nonna. She’ll also be quick to jump in and let you know if something you’re considering doing is overrated—and tell you what to do instead.
