For travelers who want what membership delivers — a fully designed itinerary, every detail handled, expert local network — without the annual commitment.
A single-journey engagement gives you the full Inspired Citizen experience for one trip — without committing to an annual membership. Same designers, same network of hoteliers and local fixers, same in-destination support.
Most members started as single-trip clients. It’s a good way for both sides to know if a longer relationship makes sense. If you decide to apply for membership after your first journey, your trip planning fee can be credited toward the annual rate.
Most trips move from first conversation to a fully designed itinerary in two to three weeks.

A day-by-day plan built from scratch around how you actually want to travel — your pace, your interests, your party.
Hand-selected accommodations from our network — with member-equivalent rates and amenities wherever we have the relationship.
Reservations at tables that don’t take them, private access to museums after hours, and the kind of meals that become the story you tell.
Private drivers, vetted local guides, and the logistics that make everything flow without you noticing.
When a flight is delayed, a restaurant closes, or weather changes everything — we handle it in real time, while you’re already there.
Visa guidance, packing notes, restaurant lists for free days, and a follow-up after you return to capture what worked.
Trip planning is a flat fee. Hotels, restaurants, and experiences are billed through us at the rates we negotiate on your behalf.
Hotels, restaurants, activities, and transfers are billed separately at the rates we secure on your behalf. We do not mark up third-party costs.
If you’re planning two or more trips a year, membership pays for itself by the second journey — plus priority access, year-round counsel, and a deeper relationship with our team.
Every trip is custom. These are starting points — to give you a sense of the range, the pace, and what’s possible.
From $1,800/night, ground-handling included
From $1,400/night, including rail
From $2,200/night, villa-based
A single trip is a one-time engagement with the same designers, network, and support members enjoy. Membership adds preferred pricing across journeys, priority planning, year-round counsel, and a longer relationship with our team. If you only travel once a year, single trips are often the right fit.
It covers the design and execution of your trip — itinerary, all bookings, document preparation, in-destination support, and post-trip follow-up. The fee does not include the trip itself (hotels, flights, restaurants, activities), which we book on your behalf at the rates we negotiate.
For most destinations, 8–12 weeks is comfortable. For peak seasons (safari in dry season, August in the Med, Japan in cherry-blossom or autumn), 4–6 months gives us the most options. We can move faster when needed — including same-week trips when a private network is the only way through.
Travel changes. We build flexibility into every itinerary and handle date shifts, party changes, and last-minute reroutes as part of the engagement. The planning fee covers up to 90 days of itinerary revisions and live coordination.
We design full journeys — we don’t operate as a hotel-booking service. The planning fee reflects the design work, the network access, and the support. For a single hotel booking, you’d be better served booking directly or through the hotel’s own concierge.
Yes. If you apply and are accepted to membership within 12 months of your single trip, the $3,000 planning fee is credited toward your first year’s membership.
