Traveler story
How a repeat round-the-world traveler and her specialist build a trip together
Elizabeth S. · 2026
The logistics
What another traveler can take from this trip
- A 12-stop RTW: Minneapolis (MSP) - Seoul - Hong Kong - Taipei - Luang Prabang - Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City - Kuala Lumpur - Delhi - Baku - Istanbul - Paris - home.
- Booked in 2026 for 2027 travel, with a separate 2025 Africa trip already on file.
- Small timing tweaks (a longer stopover, a side hop) don't have to reshuffle the whole itinerary.
The interview
The conversation
This is your second-plus round-the-world with AirTreks. How do you and Marin work?
Drop in a longer Delhi stop, maybe hop up to Shimla so the itinerary stops don't change but the times do... let me know and we'll pay up.
And the turnaround?
So quick. If I could give Marin 10 stars I would. This is the second time we've used AirTreks and couldn't be more pleased.
