The Travel Agency That Keeps a Secret
Holidays are great, right? You pick your destination - beach, mountains, or city and plan accordingly. At least, that’s the traditional way of doing things. Not at “Pack Up + Go'' travel agency, where they are all about surprises. What does this mean? Well, you book with them, but you don’t actually find out where you’re going, at least not until you’re at the airport. How does that work? Well, it’s quite simple. First, you answer some questions about the kind of trip that you’d like - at this point you are also asked about your budget per person, dates you’d like to travel, your preferences, and dislikes. From this, the agency builds a profile for you and selects accommodation that they think you will like. If you’re wondering how to know what to pack - a week before you take your trip, you receive an email from the agency with the weather forecast of your destination. However, they still don’t disclose where.
Of course, at this point, you can probably Google some places where the temperature is the same, but it only adds to the excitement, because you won’t actually know. Before you depart, you will be informed of the details like where you’re departing from and what time you need to be there. Then an
envelope will arrive, marked ‘DO NOT OPEN’ until the day of your departure. If you want the surprise, you will resist opening it. Once you get to the airport, then you can open it, shriek when you find out where you’re going, and get excited all over again. If you’re a real planner, don’t worry, because the travel agency also includes a list of things that you can do in the place you’re traveling to, so you’ll have plenty of inspiration. Are you ready to take that chance?
