Testimonials
Hear from a few previous Sonder Trips explorers.
Gill & Terry
Costa Rica, 3 destination trip
"Louise arranged our ‘once in a lifetime trip’ to Costa Rica in November 2022 and we can’t thank her enough for making it happen. We would have given up trying to arrange a holiday like this but Louise has so much knowledge and
experience of putting it all together that we didn’t have to worry about anything."
Gill & Terry knew they wanted to go to Costa Rica but unsure of where exactly, and how to plan it. I worked with them to create an itinerary that ticked all their boxes, finding the best accommodation, transport options and activities to suit their needs and budget.
Melody & Steve
Tanzania, 3 destination trip
"Lou is a travel guru! She put together an absolutely brilliant itinerary for our safari honeymoon to Tanzania and it was far beyond our expectations! She listened carefully to what we wanted and she delivered exactly what we asked for.
Lou is friendly, energetic, supportive and highly knowledgeable about travel. She goes above and beyond to make sure your trip is unique and specially tailored to you. Lou provides a service far beyond any package holiday. She is skilled in finding the best ‘non-tourist spots’ so you can experience a country in an authentic way.
If you are looking for help planning your next adventure, we highly recommend Lou!"
Mel & Steve were tossing up between a cold or a hot honeymoon. I came up with both options - a 'cold' itinerary to Lapland in Finland, vs this itinerary to Tanzania, so they could think through both options and decide which their preference would be. The cold itinerary is now ready to go for a future trip!
I was so excited to hear Rosie was planning a solo trip (my faves!), so loved talking to Rosie about it, getting her excited about it and giving her all the tips to make it the best trip possible!
Rosie
Bali, Exploration call
Although having previously solo travelled, it had been a while since I had, and I felt myself lacking in confidence for my upcoming trip to Bali.
I had a 1-hour call with Lu and to begin with she asked me what an ideal holiday was for me and if there was anything that was a must see or non-negotiable.
She then talked me through the main places to visit, main activities, and gave personal recommendations based on the information I had given her and her own experiences.
After making a rough plan for my trip, we sat and went through various booking websites to look at accommodation and activities in each location. She talked me through what she would choose and why, which helped me think about what I did and didn’t want. I took away a list of recommendations and went away to book various parts of the trip.
There was one hostel she specifically recommended based on our discussion, due to the relaxed vibe it seemed to have, the reviews alluding to it not being a party hostel (I need my 8 hours sleep!), and that it looked to be good for solo female travellers. This was exactly what I was looking for! I met some lovely people here who I stayed with for the remainder of my trip! I followed a lot of Lu’s recommendations for this trip and can honestly say it was one of the best trips I’ve been on.
I can’t recommend Lu enough. She has such a passion for travel that even a 1-hour conversation will get you equipped for solo travel, and SO excited for your trip!
