Aurum — HIW Hero
How It Works

Travel designed around you.
Not around a template.

There's no booking portal, no dropdown menu of packages, and no itinerary that a thousand other clients have already taken. There's a conversation — and everything follows from that.

Aurum — HIW Fee
The Planning Fee By
Consultation

Starts with a 15-minute travel consultation

Planning is the service.

At Aurum, the planning fee isn't a surcharge — it's the work. Designing a trip that fits your actual life, travel style, and expectations takes expertise, access, and time. That's what you're engaging when you work with us.

Our fee model also means our recommendations are never influenced by commission. Every hotel, every experience, every routing decision is made for you — not for margin.

What it covers

Full itinerary design, vendor coordination, and pre-departure support

What it doesn't do

Influence our recommendations — we have no incentive to send you anywhere that isn't right for you

Aurum — HIW Steps
The Process

Four steps.
One journey built entirely around you.

Every Aurum engagement follows the same considered process — because the details you share in step one determine everything that follows.

01

Consult

We start with a conversation — not a form. Before any research begins, we want to understand how you travel: what energizes you, what's let you down before, and what you're hoping this trip will feel like. Your answers don't just inform the itinerary. They are the itinerary.

Where everything begins
01
02

Create

This is where the work happens. Drawing on our Fora Travel and Virtuoso partnerships, we research, select, and sequence every element of your trip — hotels, experiences, routing, pacing — against your specific criteria. Nothing is included because it's trending. Everything is included because it's right for you.

Where access matters
02
03

Curate

We present your itinerary and walk through it together. This isn't a handoff — it's a collaboration. If something doesn't feel right, we adjust. If there's an experience you've been thinking about, we find the way to include it. The trip is finalized only when every detail reflects your vision.

Where it becomes yours

04

Cultivate

Once your trip is confirmed, our work continues. We handle pre-departure preparation, stay available throughout your travels, and manage anything that changes in real time — so nothing unexpected lands in your lap. You travel. We take care of the rest.
