Trade eye rolls for eye opening adventures
EXperience Design for the teen years
Tell me what you both love and I'll handle the rest.
That's what this is. Not a generic itinerary. Not a family tour package. A trip built around the specific things that make you and your teen light up — the artist, the cuisine, the adventure, the city you've both been obsessing over. You tell me what moves you and I handle everything else.
Cold plunge after a Finnish sauna. Front row at Harry Styles in Amsterdam. Scuba diving with mantas in Komodo. All designed around what we love.
You've been meaning to do this for awhile.
The trip you didn't know you needed.
Two ways in. Same result: you actually go.
Let's go!
Same obsession with getting it right. Different amounts of lifting on your end.
Not sure which is right for you? Fill out a quick inquiry and we'll figure it out together before you commit to anything.
Most of what I know I learned by doing it extensively, in real places, with real stakes, and a kid-now-teen in tow. I've made it formal too — certified travel advisor and coach. What I've gotten good at along the way is anticipating, knowing before it becomes a problem that the afternoon needs a bench and a snack before the next museum. That's the part no algorithm gets right. I design trips for moms who just need someone to hand them a plan worth trusting.
My son graduates next year and I kept saying I wanted to do something special before he leaves. Colleen made it real. Not just a trip, an actual core memory we'll talk about forever."
Why trust a stranger with your trip?

Design
Tell me where you've always wanted to go, what you two are obsessed with right now, and how you two like to move through the world. This is where it starts, and it's the good part.
From first conversation to final itinerary, the whole thing is designed to be simple, personal, and fast.
This is how we do it.
The Process
I build your itinerary from scratch. Destination rationale, suggested flights, hotels by neighborhood and vibe, pacing that fits how you actually travel, not how a template thinks you should.
Your plan arrives within 72 hours, with a personal voice note walking you through every decision. We go back and forth until it's right.
Your itinerary is ready, your questions are answered, and everything is in place before you leave. All that's left is the trip.
We're ready when you are.

I'm obsessed with the details that make a trip feel different from every other trip you've taken.
I spent years living aboard a catamaran with my son Travis, sailing through some of the most extraordinary places on earth. That's where the idea of Bond Voyage was born, and where I learned that the best trips aren't always the ones you plan perfectly, they're the ones you show up for fully. I've been traveling like that since my twenties, through more cities, hotels, and airports than I can count. I know which neighborhoods actually feel safe at midnight, which hotels earn the price tag, and how to pace a trip so you're not exhausted by day three (been there, fixed that). I follow musicians on tour, book trips around food obsessions, and say yes before I've figured out the details. That's not a personality flaw. That's the magic and the methodology. I can't wait to hear what you're obsessed with and build a trip around it.
The thinking and the enthusiasm behind your next adventure
Hi, I'm Colleen
Don't skip Dim Sum in Hong Kong. A must do experience!
Ireland is a perfect long weekend getaway from the east coast. So much to see and explore!
My first solo trip was to Thailand and Japan. Truly unforgettable!
Travel snapshots
Vegas has something for everyone - a true adult playground! The restaurants and shows are my favorite part!
I love exploring local wineries while traveling. This one has been in the same family for 6 generations.
Italy is magical. Hands down one of my favorite places to visit!
Travel snapshots
No more tabs, no more second-guessing. You get a clear, considered plan and the hours back to actually look forward to the trip.
Decisions Made. Time Returned.
Through trusted hotel partners, you get access to upgrades, breakfast credits, and amenities that don't show up on any booking site. Some things are still better when you know someone.
Perks You Won't Find Online
Every itinerary is built around who you both are right now. The pacing reflects both of you — your pace, her interests, and enough breathing room for the unplanned moments that end up being the whole point.
Designed Around Both of You
WHY WORK WITH BOND VOYAGE?
Tweens and teens, roughly 12 to 18. The sweet spot is the years when they're old enough to be real travel companions but still very much yours.
What ages do you design for?
The trips I design are thoughtful and well-researched, not necessarily five-star. The goal is the right fit for you and your teen, whether that's a boutique hotel in Paris or a surf camp in Costa Rica.
Do you only plan luxury trips?
What if I already know where I want to go?
Absolutely, and honestly this is where the work gets really good. Turning 13, finishing middle school, last summer before college — these moments deserve more than a generic vacation and that's exactly what Bond Voyage is designed for.
Can you help with a milestone trip?
You commit to an offer, complete a thorough intake form, and book a sprint window via Calendly. I open availability one month at a time. The goal is delivery within 72 hours. We do two to three rounds of iteration until it's right, and then it's yours.
How does the process actually work?
Depends which offer you choose. With The Framework, I handle all the research and decisions and hand you live booking links to complete yourself. With The Full Works, I handle the bookings on your behalf through Fora. Either way, you're not staring at seventeen browser tabs wondering what to do.
Do you book everything for me?
