+ What is Travel Coaching?

Travel Coaching and Consulting Sessions are discussions with me, where we focus on you. It is a personalized experience where we work together to discuss all things travel including where you’d like to go, what you’d like to do, how you can get there and how to take action on all the ideas in your head. This includes everything from getting you in the right mindset, to setting realistic targets and ultimately to get you on a travel journey that will change your life for the better. I’m here to help you make your choices - and the journey - a little smoother. In the process, we'll put your mind at ease, help you realize your potential and get you crushing your goals!

+ Who is behind Unwrap Your Map™?

Hi, I’m Geneva and I’m your Travel & Work Abroad Consultant here at Unwrap Your Map™. I’ve been on-the-go for 7 years, having traveled to 50+ countries…so far. I’ve experienced a little bit of everything - traveling solo, in groups, with friends, with family and with a significant other - all the things. I've studied, lived and worked abroad. Long story short, I’ve done backpacking, glamping, luxury travel and everything in between. I spent nearly 3 years working in the travel industry, often directly with clients, many of whom were first-time international travelers. I genuinely LOVE traveling and helping others along on their travel journeys too, that's why I do what I do. You can learn more about me on my introductory Blog Post 'First Things First.' I can't wait to meet you.

+ Why do I need Coaching for my trip?

Through one-on-one chats, we’ll discuss your goals in life and how travel can help you achieve them. We’ll tackle any concerns you have about traveling and work on building a roadmap to success in your very own travel journey. Sessions can focus on:

• fears you may have about traveling (safety, funds, language barriers, navigation, etc.)

• budgeting and financial insecurities (funding your travels, taking time off work, budgeting for your trip, insurance, etc.)

• mindset shifts to help prepare for travel (decision making, taking action, making plans, preparing, packing, etc.)

• being more intentional about every piece of your journey and creating space for growth and development throughout, maximizing on your trips potential

And so much more…(literally, whatever’s on your mind)!

+ Can you make bookings for me?

My mission is to create a space where you can become the master of your own travel story, from start to finish. I can certainly point you in the right direction depending on what you are looking for, and I encourage you to handle all the ins-and-outs yourself - if you're feeling up to it! That said, I am also a registered Travel Advisor and can also help you design your itinerary, as well as make hotel, car rental, rail and activity bookings on your behalf.

+ Where can you help me go?

Anywhere! Depending on your goals, we can work together to get you wherever you envision yourself. My primary areas of expertise include the United States, United Kingdom, Western Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. There are a number of ways each and every place on this planet can be traveled, and I am here to help you make the decisions to go wherever your heart desires.

+ What can you help me achieve?

The sky is the limit. The goal of coaching is to guide you towards making your own decisions about what, where, and how to book. As your consultant and coach, I can provide you with some direction regarding planning tools. However, in the end, you are the master of your own journey and will be solely responsible for making all final decisions – this is the best part of the process, and where much of your personal growth occurs. Throughout our coaching sessions, you will take ownership over your story and ultimately this empowerment will provide you with better long-term travel experiences and memories. My specialties include knowledge on international work visas for under 35's, as well as long-term backpacking trips, and ways to help fund and/or offset travel costs.

+ When can we have sessions?

Whenever, wherever. Lucky for us, we’re in the 21st century and everything is possible (well, almost…). See my calendar below to choose from available time slots and book yourself in for a chat with me. I can be available before, during and even after your journey. I can assist with planning, assistance on the road and even the post-travel blues you may find when your trip is over and you’re back home.
