A Travel Advisory Hour: Your Travel Second Opinion
Before you commit to a hotel, retreat or itinerary, bring your plan to a 60-minute consultation. Orophile helps travellers assess the options they already have for personal fit and value—including checking rates, booking conditions and available benefits—with an independent second opinion from an experienced hotelier.
You leave the conversation knowing what I would keep, what I would reconsider and which questions still need an answer before you book. If you upgrade from the Travel Advisory Hour to a Journey Planning Week for the same trip, your CA$75 fee is credited in full and you pay only the additional CA$175 + HST (total CA$250 + HST).

Book my travel review — CA$75 + HSTWhat a Travel Advisory Hour is
This paid, 60-minute, one-to-one review is for a real travel decision already on your mind. Bring up to three credible hotel, retreat, package or itinerary options, your approximate dates and budget, and the question holding you back. I assess personal fit, value and booking terms, and help you identify what to keep, change or verify. You make the decision and book directly; I do not sell travel or provide medical or therapeutic advice.
What you leave with
We’ll go through what works in your plan, where the pace or the hotel might not suit you, and what you should check with providers before you book. You leave with practical recommendations. If you want a researched written plan, that’s the Journey Planning Week.

Who it's for
Best for travellers who already have credible options and are considering booking, but want an independent professional opinion before they commit time or money. If you are still exploring and do not yet have a shortlist, start with the free 20-minute Introduction to see whether a paid review is right for your decision.
How the fee works
The Travel Advisory Hour is CA$75 + HST, paid when you book. If we go on to a Journey Planning Week (CA$250 + HST per journey), your CA$75 comes off the week, so you only pay CA$175 + HST more. And if the hour gives you nothing you can use, tell me before we hang up and I’ll refund the fee. Prices are in Canadian dollars plus HST. Orophile is a trading style of Greenmountains Trade Ltd. (CBCA #1373422-6).
