Travel With Confidence — and a Helping Hand

Would you love to travel but feel more comfortable having someone along to help? A personal travel companion provides companionship and practical assistance so you can enjoy your trip with greater confidence and less stress.

Travel can be exciting, but airports, luggage, transportation, unfamiliar destinations, and busy itineraries can sometimes make it overwhelming - especially when traveling alone.
Whether you're visiting family, taking a vacation, attending a special event, or checking an item off your bucket list, you don't necessarily have to make the journey by yourself.

A trusted travel companion can go with you.

What Is a Personal Travel Companion?

A personal travel companion is someone who travels with you and provides companionship and non-medical assistance throughout your journey.

Think of it as having a dependable extra set of hands - and a friendly face - along for the trip.
Your needs may be simple: help navigating the airport, managing luggage, staying organized, getting to the hotel, or having someone to dine and sightsee with.
Or perhaps you'd simply feel more comfortable knowing you're not traveling alone.

  • Companionship

    Someone there with you throughout the entire experience.

Travel Companionship for Older Adults

A travel companion can make traveling more comfortable for older adults who are able to travel independently but would appreciate companionship and practical assistance along the way.

Airports can be confusing. Luggage can be cumbersome. Transportation connections can be stressful. And sometimes it's simply more enjoyable to experience a destination with another person.
Adult children may also appreciate knowing that a parent isn't navigating a complicated journey entirely alone.
Our role is to provide non-medical companionship and practical travel assistance, not nursing, personal care, or medical services.

Sometimes the destination isn't a vacation at all.

Visiting Family

Perhaps you want to visit children or grandchildren who live in another state but don't feel comfortable making the trip alone.

A travel companion can accompany you from home to your destination and, if desired, travel back home with you afterward.

That can make family visits possible without asking relatives to make an additional round trip just to accompany you.

Don't let traveling alone keep you from going.

Vacation & Leisure Travel

Maybe there's somewhere you've always wanted to visit, but you don't have anyone available to travel with you.
A travel companion can join you for the entire trip, providing companionship while you explore, dine out, sightsee, relax, and enjoy your destination.
You decide what you'd like your trip to look like.
After all, it's your vacation!

Help Before the Trip, Too

A successful trip starts before you leave home.
Depending on the services offered, assistance may also be available with pre-trip organization, such as reviewing your itinerary, making checklists, organizing travel documents, confirming reservations, coordinating transportation, and helping you get ready to leave.
Having everything organized beforehand can make travel day much less stressful.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Travel Companion Services

Can I hire someone to travel with me?

Yes. A personal travel companion can accompany you on a trip and provide companionship and practical, non-medical assistance while traveling.

The exact services should be discussed before the trip so everyone understands what assistance will be provided.

Can a travel companion fly with me?

Yes. A travel companion can accompany you through the airport and travel on the same flight with you.

They can also help you navigate check-in, security, gates, connections, baggage claim, and ground transportation.

Can you travel with an older adult?

Yes. Travel companionship can be particularly helpful for older adults who are capable of traveling but would feel more comfortable having someone accompany them.

This service is intended for companionship and non-medical assistance. Travelers requiring medical monitoring, skilled nursing, mobility transfers, medication administration, or personal care may need an appropriately qualified medical or caregiving travel service.

Can you accompany me on a cruise?

Travel companion services may include cruises as well as travel by airplane, train, or car.

The arrangements, accommodations, itinerary, costs, and expectations should be established before booking the trip.

Can you help me get to the airport without traveling with me?

Yes, depending on the services offered.

If you primarily need assistance getting organized, reaching the airport, checking in, or navigating the terminal, shorter travel-assistance arrangements may also be possible.

Who pays for the travel companion's expenses?

The client's agreement should clearly establish responsibility for the companion's travel-related expenses before the trip is booked.

Depending on the trip, these expenses could include airfare or other transportation, accommodations, meals, admission fees, transfers, and other necessary travel costs in addition to the companion's service fee.

Is a travel companion the same as a caregiver?

No. A personal travel companion provides companionship and practical assistance but is not automatically a medical professional or personal-care provider.

If you require medical care or significant assistance with activities of daily living while traveling, discuss those needs before making arrangements so you can determine whether a different type of professional is appropriate.

Your Next Adventure Doesn't Have to Be a Solo One

There are plenty of reasons someone might hesitate to travel alone.

Not having a travel partner shouldn't automatically mean not taking the trip.

Whether you're flying across the country to see your grandchildren, attending an important family event, taking the vacation you've always dreamed about, or simply looking for a little extra support along the way, a personal travel companion can help make the journey feel easier and more enjoyable.
