what we do

Travel Consulting

Are you and your family so busy you rarely have time to take a vacation, let alone plan it? Are you finally ready to take that dream trip but overwhelmed by all the information out there and not sure where to start?

Let us take the pressure off and do what we love to do: research the ideal vacation destinations for you and your family.

Why use a travel planner?

We not only have lots of experience traveling ourselves (just take a look at our travel blog posts!), but we have tons of connections in the travel community so if we don’t know the answer, we can find it quickly, from reliable sources who really know the place.

We don’t work on commission, so you can be confident that we are recommending the activities and places we think will work best for you, not the ones that pay us.

We get to know you and your family to be sure every member of the family has a vacation to remember.

How does it work?

First, you tell us your requirements. For example: I need to go somewhere warm for a long weekend in January with my kids who don’t swim. Or: We want to take our kids on a grand tour of Europe for 2 weeks next summer. Or: I have a week off in December, where should I go?

Then, we work with you either in person, by email, or by phone or Skype to get to know you and your family and what sorts of things you like and don’t like. Do you want an all-inclusive resort stay? Or will a hammock on the beach with an outdoor shower suffice? A castle stay or a reliable chain hotel? A day of shopping or a day exploring museums? A bike tour or a rental car?

In short, we will listen to your needs, research your destination and come up with an itinerary just for you.

Testimonials

Our clients love our services

What a great trip!

The hotel you booked for us was perfect - exactly what we were looking for.

K. S. - Custom 3-day itinerary for the Jurassic Coast of England

Your patience and care were FABULOUS!!! We loved every minute.

Our family of four have a variety of interests and the trip was expertly designed for all of them--from a Harry Potter Studio visit to a glamping outdoor sculpture garden in the Irish boughs. They managed the pace quite well-- relaxed--which we requested. They recommended going to places we would have never found or dismissed, which have been added to the list of highlight experiences of our lives--quite a feat since we've lived and traveled in most continents on this beautiful earth.

C. A. - Custom itinerary for a 3-week trip to Ireland, London, and Amsterdam

Thanks to Paige, our recent trip to Spain was fabulous!

She designed a custom itinerary that suited us personally, took us beyond the tourist routine, and made wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Now that I know of this great service, I can't wait to plan future trips that will take us, hopefully, all over the map!

M.A.R. - Custom mother-daughter trip to Barcelona and Costa Brava

Amazing!

We all had a really nice time. Would love to have you both help us plan some more trips.

S. A. - Custom 7-day New England road trip itinerary

About Us

Paige Conner Totaro, Travel Coach

Paige Conner Totaro

became fascinated with travel and cultures as a child, when her parents took her to see travelogues at a local theater. A high school exchange program to Italy sealed the deal.

Paige took an 11-month trip around the world with her husband and twin 13-year-old daughters in 2012-13 and is always planning the next adventure.

Paige was a founder of Misra Records, a founding board member of Transformer in Washington, DC, and a longtime board member and director of Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts.

Paige is a fan of Scandinavian design, Ethiopian food, Canadian hospitality, Japanese vintage stores, Brazilian music and Thai beaches, but also American craft beer, garage rock and roller derby.

Our Philosophy

Paige founded the family travel website All Over the Map in 2011, along with Veronique Autphenne of Pax Travel Design, to inspire families to create wonderful travel experiences together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

We will develop a daily itinerary and book all of the activities and lodgings (but not flights) for you for a fixed rate depending on the length of your trip and other factors.
Request current rates.

Couldn’t I do this myself?

Our clients generally want us to book their vacations because they are too busy to sort through the thousands of travel resources out there to find the vacation that is perfect for their family. We love working with you to understand your family’s needs, and then researching the best vacation for you.

If you like planning your own vacations, you may find some inspiration on our family travel blog, All Over the Map

Can I just hire you by the hour for advice?

Yes, we are happy to answer general travel questions by phone, Skype, or FaceTime. The fee is $50 for a 30-minute call, which can be applied to the travel planning fee if you decide to hire us to plan the same trip.
Contact us for details.

Will you book our flights for us?

No. These days, the tools for purchasing airfare are available to everyone. We can advise you of some of our favorite sites to use for booking airfare if you like.

Can you come with us?

We will have to check with our families to see if the schedule works, but let's just give it a big fat "Maybe."
