About Me

Where to Next?
Where to Next?

If the allure of the unknown sets your heart racing, I’m here to orchestrate the ultimate travel escapade for you, because the best adventures are the ones you least expect.

Embark on a Mystery Trip that's meticulously tailored to your preferences, ensuring a perfect mix of excitement, discovery, and delight. The catch? Your destination is a Surprise!

Getting to Know You
First, I dive deep into understanding your preferences and visions you have for your upcoming trip. Through a discovery call and questionnaire I learn about everything that makes you tick – your likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dream activities.

We establish a budget that covers everything from transport and accommodation to meals and special surprises. Flexibility is key, and we ensure your budget fits just right. At this stage I will also ask for an upfront planning fee which typically ranges from $350 to $500 depending on the length of your trip. 

Perfect Timing
I work with your schedule to find the ideal travel dates, giving me the leeway to book everything seamlessly. Behind the scenes - based on your interests and the best seasons to travel, I will shortlist the perfect mystery destinations for you. Think of it like choosing the perfect wine – it has to match your taste!

Curating the Perfect Trip
From flights to fabulous accommodations, I handle it all. Whether a charming boutique property or a luxurious hotel, I will ensure your stay is cozy and memorable.

Next, I meticulously plan out an itinerary filled with activities and experiences you’ll love. From thrilling adventures to serene relaxations, I can mix it all in, complete with dining experiences and hidden gems.

Unveiling the Mystery
A few days before your trip, I will email you a weather forecast, packing list, and the flight departure time. The big reveal happens on departure day with a personalized envelope in hand, holding all the essentials you need for the journey.

Support Along the Way
As you embark on your surprise adventure, our partners in the destination are just a call or message away, ensuring everything goes smoothly.

What to Expect on Your Mystery Trip

  • Personalized Surprises - tailored to your interests, passions, and travel style, I design bespoke itineraries unique to you. Whether it’s a hidden gem island, a bustling urban hotspot, or a serene mountain retreat, every destination is chosen to captivate and surprise.
  • Seamless Planning - while the destination remains a mystery, every detail is carefully arranged. From luxurious accommodations to exclusive activities, I ensure that your journey is smooth, relaxing, and filled with unforgettable moments.
  • Tailored Experiences - I will include experiences that resonate with your personality. Whether it’s dining at a secret pop-up restaurant, engaging in an unexpected cultural festival, or discovering a secluded natural wonder, every moment is designed to amaze.
  • Element of Surprise - the thrill is in the reveal. You’ll only discover your destination just before departure, adding an unparalleled sense of adventure and anticipation to your trip.
  • Luxurious Touch - even in the realm of mystery, luxury is a given. Expect premium services, top-notch amenities, and personalized touches that turn a spontaneous journey into a high-end adventure.
  • Adventurous Twists - for those who seek a bit of adrenaline, I incorporate unexpected twists. Think private yacht charters, surprise hot air balloon rides, or an impromptu safari. Your mystery trip will be anything but ordinary.

My mission is to create more than just a trip; I strive to deliver an experience where every moment is a delightful revelation. My extensive network and attention to detail ensure each mystery trip is not just about the destination but about the incredible journey.

This is your chance to let loose and expand your comfort zone. Embrace the excitement of the unknown, and let’s make this next trip a Mystery Worth Discovering!

A Good Time Was Had By All!
Reviewed By G&D - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
Claudia met our every need planning the 30th anniversary trip for my husband and me. She introduced herself and asked just the right questions to get a feel of the type of travelers we are. During the planning phase she kept us fully informed of pricing and dates. When done, Claudia had put together the perfect trip. All we had to do was show up at the airport. During our travels, every aspect was arranged with spot on detail that met our every expectation. Claudia saw to it that we felt pampered and celebrated for our occasion. As far as the lodging, the places Claudia booked for us were perfectly matched to our needs and desires. We could not have asked for anything more. To say that we would highly recommend Claudia is way less than we wish to say. Her passion for what she does completely came through and in the end, she booked a most memorable trip making it one of our most favorite lifetime adventures thus far.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fantastic trip to Thailand
Reviewed By Peg and Ellen - Naples, Florida | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
We couldn’t have been happier with the amazing trip Claudia arranged for us to travel through Thailand for 3 weeks. She listened to our desire to have a balance of activity and relaxation, and to experience authentic Thai accommodations that were absolutely stunning. Claudia was always available for any questions or last minute changes both before and during our trip. We were amazed that, without exception, every single time we either had to fly , or be driven somewhere, or take a boat , or be driven to a boat to be met by a driver at the other end - no matter what manner of transport we had to take - someone was at the location waiting for us. It was seamless and we had zero stress about getting from place to place. We highly recommend Claudia to take care of your holiday plans.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Mystery Trip to Kenya
Reviewed By Mike & Josh - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Kenya ~ Africa
Claudia planned an amazing mystery trip for us to East Africa. I highly recommend trying it - we could not decide where to go, having traveled extensively in the past we just passed the baton to Claudia and she worked her magic. We gave her a few guidelines, place we've already visited, a budget and she did an amazing job. She even included the most wonderful experiences and welcome gifts in each hotel along the way - thank you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A Very Special Trip
Reviewed By Joe & Cathy - Alpharetta, Georgia | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
We are senior citizens who haven’t been out of the country in decades and were leery about arranging a trip ourselves to Greece before meeting a prearranged tour group in Israel. A friend of ours recommended Travel Leaders 365 and we were paired with Claudia Pascua. Right from the start she listened to our aspirations and concerns and asked questions that we didn’t even think of. She did an amazing job for us in Greece which included tours, hotels, transfers and airline tickets. Little did we know that the day before we were to fly to Greece, Israel declared war ending our tour of Israel. No matter how many times we spoke to Claudia she was always professional, kind, and gave us different options while her air team worked on getting us a ticket back home. As a result of her expertise, our trip was very special. We highly recommend Claudia and the company and plan to use them in the future.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
