How Do I Plan a Surprise Vacation?
Heading out on a Surprise Vacation can be one of the most exhilarating experiences you ever give yourself or your loved ones.
The thrill of the unknown, the anticipation of discovering a new destination, and the joy of unexpected adventures make surprise vacations a unique way to travel.
Everyone is talking about Surprise Travel being one of the biggest travel trends of 2024, and you might be wondering, “How do I plan a surprise vacation?”. With Pack Up + Go, planning your Surprise Vacation is easier and more exciting than you might think. Here's how:
1. Choose Your Trip Type
First things first, decide how you want to travel. Pack Up + Go offers various Trip Types including Plane Trip, Road Trips, Outdoors Trips, and You Pick Trips (where you choose the destination + purchase your transportation). Each mode of travel offers its own unique set of surprises and adventures. Consider what kind of experience you're looking for, and decide your preference!
2. Fill Out the Pre-Trip Survey
Our detailed Pre-Trip Survey is where the magic starts. You'll tell us your travel dates, preferences, interests, and any special requests you might have. Love donut shops? Prefer to get an early start in the morning? Let us know! This information helps us tailor the perfect Trip for you, ensuring your destination + activities align with your interests.
3. Set Your Budget
At the end of the Pre-Trip Survey, you’ll select your budget, which is key in planning your Surprise Vacation. It determines not just where you can go but also how much we can pre-plan for you once you get there. Pack Up + Go offers flexible pricing options to fit a range of budgets, ensuring your surprise trip is both amazing and affordable. We also partner with Affirm to buy now, and pay later!
4. Wait for the Surprise
After you've submitted your survey, the hardest part begins: waiting. Pack Up + Go takes care of all the planning, from booking your travel to arranging your accommodations and recommending activities. All you have to do is pack + prepare for the adventure. While you’re waiting, we’ll send your Surprise Trip Envelope to your address. Finally, a piece of mail you’ll want to receive!
5. Discover Your Destination
A few days before your departure, you'll receive a weather report via email for your mystery destination so you can pack accordingly. Then, on the day of your departure, you'll finally open your Surprise Trip Envelope revealing your destination. It's time to discover what Pack Up + Go has in store for you!
6. Enjoy Your Adventure
Once you arrive, it's all about enjoying the moment. Explore, discover, and make memories.
