Hosted Journeys, answered in full

Purpose & Passport™ is a full-service travel agency and hosted-travel company creating thoughtfully curated domestic and international travel experiences. Our Hosted Journeys are designed for travelers who want to explore the world with a group while enjoying the structure, support and convenience of a professionally organized itinerary.

• Beautiful destinations
• Cultural experiences
• Adventure
• Premium accommodations
• Group connection
• Organized transportation
• Thoughtful itineraries
• Traveler support before and during the journey

Our goal is to make international group travel feel exciting, organized and welcoming from the moment you reserve your spot until the journey ends.

Planning an international trip involves a great deal more than choosing a hotel and buying a plane ticket. On a Hosted Journey, the major planning has already been organized for you. Depending on the journey, your package may include:

• Accommodations
• Airport transfers on official trip dates
• Scheduled transportation
• Cultural experiences and excursions
• Daily breakfast and select meals
• Welcome Mixer and Farewell Dinner
• Group activities
• Private traveler group chat
• On-site Purpose & Passport™ host support

You also get to travel alongside other adults who want to explore, meet new people and create memorable experiences together.

That is completely understandable, and many travelers join without knowing anyone beforehand. Our Hosted Journeys are built so connection happens naturally through:

• The private trip group chat
• The Welcome Mixer
• Scheduled group activities and excursions
• Shared meals and transportation
• Experiences throughout the journey

You are welcome to travel with a friend, partner or your own group, and you are just as welcome on your own. The goal is for you to travel independently without experiencing the destination alone.

Hosted Journeys are designed for adults who want to explore, meet new people, experience new cultures, have fun, travel respectfully and enjoy both group and personal time. We expect guests to treat fellow travelers, staff, suppliers, local communities, cultural sites and hotel employees with respect.

Good energy is always welcome. Bad vibes? Still not included.

Absolutely. Solo travelers are welcome on every Hosted Journey. You may select a Shared Room Package or a Solo Room Package.

• Shared-room pricing is per person.
• Travelers joining with someone they already know each reserve their own shared-room package. A linked two-traveler checkout is not available yet.
• If you select a shared room without bringing your own roommate, you may request roommate matching. We attempt to match travelers of the same gender unless both travelers and an administrator approve another arrangement.
• Roommate matching is requested, never guaranteed.
• If matching cannot be completed, our team will contact you about available accommodation options before room assignments are finalized. No complimentary solo-room upgrade is promised.

Every Hosted Journey has its own inclusion list. Depending on the destination, your package may include:

• Hotel accommodations
• Daily breakfast
• Airport transportation on the designated arrival and departure dates
• Scheduled ground transportation
• Welcome Mixer
• Cultural tours and excursions
• Cooking classes and adventure activities
• Select meals and a Farewell Dinner
• Private Purpose & Passport™ trip group chat
• On-site Purpose & Passport™ host support
• Additional itinerary surprises

Always review the individual journey page before reserving, because inclusions vary by destination. Only items specifically identified as included are covered by the package price.

Unless the individual journey page specifically says otherwise, the following are generally not included:

• Round-trip airfare
• Travel insurance
• Passport fees
• Visa and entry-document fees
• Vaccinations and health-related travel expenses
• Optional activities and additional excursions
• Personal purchases and shopping

And of course: bad vibes are not included. Please leave those at home.

No, unless a particular journey specifically says it is. Most Hosted Journeys include selected meals and experiences — for example daily breakfast, one or more lunches, a Welcome Mixer and a Farewell Dinner. Additional meals, drinks and personal purchases outside the included itinerary are the traveler's responsibility. Always review the specific journey page to see exactly what is included.

Airport transfers are included only where the individual journey page states it. Where included, they generally apply to travelers arriving and departing at the designated airport on the official trip arrival and departure dates. Travelers arriving early or departing late may be responsible for arranging and paying for their own transportation unless Purpose & Passport™ confirms another arrangement in writing.

No. Round-trip airfare is not included in the Hosted Journey package price unless the individual journey specifically states otherwise. Each journey page identifies the airport guests should use and the official dates for included airport transportation.

Yes. Purpose & Passport™ is a full-service travel agency and may assist travelers with flight research and booking as a separate service. Flight costs are separate from the Hosted Journey package unless specifically stated otherwise.

Flight-booking operations open once the applicable supplier credentials are active. Ask an advisor for current availability.

Travelers are responsible for satisfying the passport, visa and destination-entry requirements that apply to their citizenship and travel circumstances. Purpose & Passport™ may provide general travel-requirement information and links to authoritative government sources.

If you already know the specific passport or immigration-related document-preparation service you need, separate document-preparation assistance may be available through PF Consulting Firm — a separate, non-attorney document-preparation business. Separate fees, service agreements and intake requirements apply. PF Consulting Firm does not provide immigration legal advice, determine immigration eligibility, or select an immigration benefit or visa classification for a traveler.

About PF Consulting Firm

Online payment is not currently available. After availability is confirmed and the applicable booking terms are accepted, Purpose & Passport™ will provide authorized payment instructions directly to the traveler.

• No payment is collected through this website. There is no online checkout, no card processing and no automated installment charge.
• No payment address, bank account or payment application handle is published on this website.
• Authorized payment instructions are provided directly to the traveler by Purpose & Passport™ only after availability is confirmed and the applicable booking terms are accepted.
• Purpose & Passport™ is a DBA of PF Consulting Firm, and its travel services are sold separately from PF Consulting Firm non-attorney document-preparation services — separate agreements, separate files and separate payments. A PF Consulting Firm document-preparation payment identity is never a payment destination for a Purpose & Passport™ Hosted Journey.
• A written confirmation of the payment amount, the payment dates and the terms is provided by an advisor before any payment is requested.
• The payment plan below describes how a balance will be scheduled once payments are activated. It is not an instruction to send money today.

A spot is reserved with the deposit for the selected package. The deposit is applied toward the total price. The remaining balance is then divided into four equal payments. Payment dates and the final payment deadline are set in the written reservation confirmation, and the final payment is always due before departure.

• The deposit is required to reserve a spot and is applied toward the total price.
• After the deposit, the remaining balance is paid in four equal installments.
• Installment dates and the final payment deadline are stated in the written reservation confirmation.
• All payments must be completed before the final payment deadline; a spot is not fully confirmed until the balance is paid in full.
• A missed, declined, reversed or unpaid installment may result in cancellation of the reservation, and amounts already paid are retained under the non-refundable policy.
• Paying the full balance earlier than the schedule is always permitted.
• Authorized payment instructions are provided directly to the traveler by Purpose & Passport™; no payment destination is published on this website.

Public online booking and payment are not active. Online reservations, card checkout and automated installment payments are not offered on this website, and no payment destination is published here. Online payment is not currently available. After availability is confirmed and the applicable booking terms are accepted, Purpose & Passport™ will provide authorized payment instructions directly to the traveler.

No. Payments are not charged automatically, and online payment is not currently available. Once payments are activated, each installment is sent by the traveler on or before its due date using the authorized instructions Purpose & Passport™ provides directly, and the installment amounts, due dates and final payment deadline are stated in the written reservation confirmation.

No card is stored and no automated charge is made on this website.

Contact Purpose & Passport™ as soon as possible, before the payment becomes overdue. A delay is never guaranteed. Any revised arrangement must be confirmed by Purpose & Passport™ in writing, and trip-specific deadlines and supplier obligations may limit what can be changed. A missed, declined or unpaid installment may result in cancellation of the reservation, and amounts already paid are retained under the non-refundable policy.

All payments are non-refundable. This applies to cancellations for any reason, including a change of plans, a schedule conflict, a work or personal situation, a missed flight, a denied or delayed travel document, or a decision not to travel.

• Purpose & Passport™ commits funds to accommodations, transportation, experiences and other suppliers on the strength of confirmed reservations, and those commitments are not recoverable.
• Payments cannot be moved to another traveler or to another Purpose & Passport™ journey unless expressly approved in writing.
• Voluntarily skipping an included activity, meal, transfer or event does not create a refund or credit.
• Travel insurance is not included and is highly recommended; a covered cancellation is handled by the insurer, not by Purpose & Passport™.
• If Purpose & Passport™ cancels a journey, the organizer-cancellation provisions of the Hosted Journey Terms apply instead — traveler-cancellation rules do not.
• Nothing in this policy removes a right that applicable consumer-protection law requires.

This policy is presented in writing and must be accepted before any payment is requested. The full Hosted Journey Terms remain a review draft while legal review is completed.

Unless the specific journey terms expressly permit a transfer, no. Reservations are intended to be non-transferable, and airline, hotel, excursion, supplier, rooming and traveler-identification requirements may prevent substitutions. Any exception must be approved by Purpose & Passport™ in writing.

Unless specifically approved in writing, no. Payments made toward one Hosted Journey cannot automatically be transferred to another. Each journey has its own suppliers, costs, inventory, deadlines and financial obligations.

If Purpose & Passport™ cancels a Hosted Journey, the cancellation provisions in that journey's Booking Terms control. We will communicate the reason for cancellation, any supplier-related restrictions, available refund or credit treatment where applicable, insurance considerations and next steps. Traveler-initiated cancellation rules do not automatically apply when the organizer cancels.

No. Travel protection is not included in the package price unless explicitly stated otherwise, and it is highly recommended. Depending on the policy, travel insurance may help protect against covered events such as:

• Trip cancellation
• Trip interruption
• Travel delays
• Lost baggage
• Medical emergencies
• Other covered circumstances

Coverage varies by policy and provider. If Purpose & Passport™ makes an insurance option available through an authorized third-party provider, that product is separate from Purpose & Passport™. We do not guarantee coverage, claim approval, reimbursement, benefit eligibility or insurer decisions. Travelers are responsible for reviewing the policy and deciding whether it suits their needs.

No, unless a particular journey or supplier later requires specific coverage. It is still strongly recommended — international travel involves circumstances outside anyone's control, including illness, weather, flight disruption and emergencies.

Yes. Public Hosted Journeys are generally 21+ and are open to adult women and men. The minimum age also appears on each journey page. Any exception must be specifically approved by Purpose & Passport™ and should never be assumed.

International travel sometimes requires flexibility. Weather, transportation problems, local conditions, government restrictions, supplier changes or other circumstances may require changes to timing, activities, transportation, venues, excursions or itinerary sequence. Purpose & Passport™ may make reasonable itinerary adjustments when necessary, and any material change will be communicated as soon as reasonably possible.

Yes, you may extend your personal vacation. Additional hotel nights, extra airport transfers, meals, activities, transportation and other extension expenses are generally not included in the package. Purpose & Passport™ may be able to assist with pre-trip or post-trip arrangements separately.

No, though the journey is designed around a group itinerary. Travelers may skip activities, but there generally will not be a refund or credit for voluntarily missed activities, excursions, meals, transportation, events or other included services unless the journey terms specifically provide for it.

Often, yes. Depending on the destination there may be free time, optional excursions, spa services, nightlife, shopping, tours and activities outside the official itinerary. Optional experiences are at the traveler's own expense unless specifically stated as included.

For journeys marketed with on-site support, yes. Purpose & Passport™ staff or designated trip hosts are available during the official journey to support the group and coordinate the scheduled experience. This does not mean we provide medical care, security services, legal services, government services, guaranteed airline assistance or guaranteed resolution of supplier disruptions. For emergencies, travelers follow the emergency procedures provided before departure.

Yes. Confirmed travelers may receive access to a private Purpose & Passport™ trip group chat, used for introductions, trip reminders, announcements, packing tips, flight coordination, schedule updates, group communication and destination information. Access is limited to that journey's community and the Purpose & Passport™ team.
