Guides

The itinerary, without the advisory.

Every guide is a trip we have actually taken, written out day by day. Not a listicle. The same routing we would build for a client, for people who would rather do it themselves.

Your first passport, start to finish.

The single most common reason a trip never happens is that somebody in the group does not have a passport and does not know where to start. This is the whole process in one document.

  • Form DS-11, walked through field by field
  • How to find an acceptance facility and what to bring
  • Photo rules that actually get rejected, and how to avoid them
  • Real timelines, and when expedited service is worth the money
  • The six-month validity rule nobody mentions until it is too late
