The world is complex.
Your trip doesn't have to be generic.
Custom travel itineraries rooted in cultural intelligence — because the world deserves more than a checklist.
No agency. No commission. No shortcuts.
Start Your Next Adventure
There's a particular feeling most travelers know but rarely admit: standing in front of something extraordinary, and still feeling strangely empty. Because you saw it — but you didn't understand it.
My Travel Best Friend exists for people who want the second kind of travel. The kind where you come back changed.
OUR APPROACH
We're Not an Agency. We're Your Travel Intelligence Partner.
✨ Radical Independence
We take zero commission from hotels, restaurants, or operators. Every recommendation we make is guided by one thing only: what is genuinely excellent, authentic, and locally ethical. When we tell you to stay somewhere, eat somewhere, do something — it's because we believe in it. Full stop.
🎓 The Rigor of a Researcher
We combine editorial journalism with logistical precision. Before we build your itinerary, we dive into the history of the place, its current social and political realities, its cultural codes, and the local actors who deserve your support. You don't just get a schedule. You get the keys to understanding a country.
🌍 Travel That Transforms
You won't return with just photographs. You'll return with a story you can actually tell — because you understood what you were seeing. A traveler who has been properly prepared doesn't just visit. They connect. They witness. They remember.
THE FOUNDATION
Every Journey Starts With This.
Regardless of the package you choose, every MyTBF roadmap is built on the same rigorous foundation. This is the non-negotiable baseline we deliver to every traveler.

Roots & Realities — An accessible analysis of the country's history and contemporary geopolitical context, so you understand what you're walking into
Cultural DNA — Gastronomy, social codes, music, traditions: the living texture of a place
Do's & Don'ts — A practical guide to being a respectful, informed guest in someone else's home
-
Visa requirements, vaccination recommendations, entry conditions
Flight and train recommendations with direct booking links
Carefully curated accommodation selection(s)
Local transport on the ground — how to move like a local
Practical tips for traveling with a lighter environmental footprint

Local hidden gems and addresses you won't find in any guide
Breathing room intentionally built in, because the best travel moments are often unplanned
-
Our support activates 7 days before your departure
Available until the day you return
We're here to answer questions, reassure you, and help you navigate anything unexpected
CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL
Three Levels of Depth. One Standard of Excellence.

THE PROCESS
From "I Have a Dream" to "I'm Ready to Go" — In Six Steps.
-
Tell us where you want to go, when, how many of you, and what kind of traveler you are. It takes 5 minutes. This is where everything starts.
-
We review your brief and send you a tailored proposal — package recommendation, price breakdown, and if you chose "Inspire Me," destination suggestions too.
-
For journeys over €400, we offer a short 15-minute call via Google Meet to make sure we understand each other perfectly before we dive in.
-
This is where the research happens — deep, rigorous, independent.
Standard delivery: 15–20 business days. Priority option: 7–10 days. -
A beautifully designed, fully detailed roadmap built specifically for you.
Not a template. Not a copy-paste. Yours. -
From 7 days before departure until your return, we're available to answer questions, reassure you, and guide you.
THE PROCESS
Ready? Tell Us About Your Journey.
Free, no commitment. Your personalized quote arrives within 48 hours.
Your Questions, Answered Honestly.
-
No. We are travel curators and independent researchers. We don't sell tickets, packages, or accommodation bookings. We sell expertise, editorial depth, and peace of mind. You remain the sole owner of your bookings — and we never profit from recommending anything to you.
-
Because your time is valuable, the world is complex, and the difference between a trip that just happened and a trip that changed you is almost always in the preparation. We handle the invisible work — the hours of research, the logistical thinking, the cultural briefing — so that you arrive ready, not anxious.
-
Your base price depends on the package you choose (Friend, Best Friend, or BFF).
Two multipliers may apply: one for trip duration (8+ days), one for group size (3+ people).
Corporate requests carry an additional fee. Everything is transparent — your quote will break down every line item before you pay a cent.
-
Yes. For Best Friend and BFF packages, we offer secure payment in 3 installments via Stripe. No hidden fees.
-
A revision is any structural change to your itinerary: adding or removing a city, changing transport dates, switching an accommodation, or rethinking daily programming.
Support (answering questions, giving advice) is different from revisions and is always included during your support window.
Once your revision quota is used, additional revisions are available at €80 per revision.
-
The planning service is non-refundable once payment is received, as research begins immediately. Revisions within the booked destination and duration are covered — not a full destination change.
We recommend being clear in your brief before we begin.
The World Is Waiting. Let's Make Sure You're Ready for It.
Most people spend more time researching a phone than they do preparing for a journey to the other side of the world.
You deserve better than that. And so does the place you're going to.
