The logistics

What another traveler can take from this trip

12 legs over roughly three months: Vancouver (YVR) - Dakar - Marrakech - Tangier - Kigali - Catania - Dubrovnik - Split - Sibiu - Athens - Prague - Munich - YVR.
A backpacker's multi-continent route with overland gaps, priced and monitored end to end.
The kind of itinerary that breaks a standard agency booking tool - which is exactly where a specialist earns the fee.

The interview

The conversation

You tried booking this closer to home first?

I tried to find an agency in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. In one well-known travel agency, the woman at the counter left in the middle of my listing all the cities. After listening, the manager said one word: 'Impossible.'

And AirTreks?

AirTreks works with me and I get great deals. I need what they provide: excellent air pricing and close monitoring of all flights. I check my emails the night before I jet off and am informed of any changes.
