In fact, it was the inspiration behind the title of my blog: Where Next with Meg. But ultimately, its the years of planning, advising and sharing my love for travel with others that has resulted in Friend of a Friend Consulting – A Luxury Travel Agency specializing in custom trip design with an Editor’s eye. In association with the esteemed Local Foreigner, a Virtuoso Agency, FOF ensures its clients VIP booking services, including air travel, rental cars, speciality elements like wine tours and behind-the-scenes museum visits, plus the all-too-necessary hotel perks and upgrades. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your trip desires and then working, hand-in-hand to plan your next trip. Whether it be to a private villa in Italy or a quick getaway to the Caribbean, or even a two-week adventure through Southern Africa, I’m here to help. Let my firsthand experience and well-versed opinion be a source you can trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6012e08a3dcc51351d5ff889/1616385293364-2O87C9RBJ5VE2VZ564IY/CaribbeanHideaways.jpg More About Meg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6012e08a3dcc51351d5ff889/1616385800306-417P3TWR120CKVM2OD78/ItalianHideaways.jpg More About Meg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6012e08a3dcc51351d5ff889/1616387570425-3SQGYI1QYTROV6ZB5O5J/EnglandHideaways.jpg More About Meg See Inside https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6012e08a3dcc51351d5ff889/1616479888958-RE3UGGUI41Q2ONRMDTZC/images-1.jpg More About Meg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6012e08a3dcc51351d5ff889/1616479227299-PHO3NBEX9E84N1KPEFUL/GoodSpeed+Image.jpg More About Meg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6012e08a3dcc51351d5ff889/1619200521687-HPXV8OZL7TNOJT56R16H/FBA994E9-0E78-43B3-BC02-6D46DC2EA6B2.jpg More About Meg -

Hourly rates are set at $185 an hour, with an extra charge for after-hours work. At the beginning of the trip planning process, we take an upfront retainer of $1850 (equivalent to 10 hours). Once this retainer is exhausted by accrued planning hours, we bill on a monthly basis. If there is a remaining balance after the completion of services, it will be credited toward the client’s next trip. The hours never expire. https://www.foftripdesign.com/home daily 1.0 2021-11-24
