Travelling with a client can be a wonderful experience if organised correctly. Here is a basic guide to ensure everything goes perfectly and you both enjoy the trip.
1. Initial Preparations
- Know Your Customer: Research and get to know the client well before the trip. Make sure that both of you feel comfortable and safe. If you travel with an agency, make sure they know the client and that they are verified.
- Define Details: Clarify all the details of the trip, including destination, duration and planned activities. Planning ahead helps to avoid misunderstandings and last-minute problems.
2. Clear Communication
- Set Expectations: Clearly discuss what each person expects from the trip, both in terms of services and behavior. Transparency is key to a misunderstanding-free experience.
- Limits and Preferences: Make sure you set and respect your boundaries and preferences from the start. The comfort of both of you is essential. How long will you be together? Is flight time included? Do you expect to spend 100% of your time at the hotel, or will it be an adventure trip?
3. Financial Aspects
- Rates and Payments: Make sure that the fees are clearly agreed and paid in advance. We recommend asking for a prepayment of 40% when it comes to travel, with a decent amount of notice. This eliminates any money-related tension during the trip. (See our article on how to effectively verify customers).
- Travel Expenses: Clarify who will cover travel, accommodation, meals and activities. Having these details clear from the start avoids misunderstandings. This is usually covered by the client.
4. Security and Documentation
- Required Documentation: Make sure you have the necessary travel documentation (passports, visas, international health insurance, etc.).
- Personal Safety: Share your itineraries and maintain regular communication with trusted contacts. Safety is paramount.
5. Trip Planning
- Accommodation: Make sure the client books high-end accommodations that offer privacy and comfort. Five-star hotels or private villas are ideal.
6. Behavior Protocol
- Respect and Discretion: Always maintain a respectful and discreet behavior. Remember that you are both there to enjoy yourself. Mutual respect and discretion are essential. Read our protocol for clients here.
- Flexibility and Adaptability: Be flexible and willing to adapt to any changes in plans. The ability to adapt to circumstances can turn any unexpected event into a fun part of the adventure.
Privacy and Confidentiality
During travel, there will inevitably be exchanges of private information such as names and contact details, such as during hotel check-in. It is essential to adhere to a non-verbal agreement of privacy and confidentiality. As an escort offering a luxury service, it is your responsibility to protect the client's privacy, and he must equally respect your confidentiality and your time.
Avoid Common Scams
- Immediate Prepaid: Don't fall for common scams, such as customers who say their prepayment will arrive in a few days and ask to start planning their trip now. Always make sure you receive the prepayment before you start any planning.
- Too Much Information Without Confirmation: Be wary of clients who ask for a lot of information and effort from you without any prepayment or confirmation that they will actually book the trip.
- Too Good to Be True: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Do more research if something seems overly tempting.
- Confidence and Intuition: If something seems suspicious, it is better not to accept and wait for a client who makes you feel comfortable from the start. We will continue to teach you how to improve your profile to ensure that you work comfortably and earn what you want.
Traveling with a client can be a very memorable experience that allows you to see impressive places and exclusive high-end experiences. By following these steps and tips, you will be on your way to living unforgettable adventures while keeping your safety and well-being as a priority.
