About kaanect

A new concept, travel coaching is the evolution in trip planning! April Cole and Andrea Ross have been planning vacations for over 20 years. They've lived, breathed and loved travel and been recognized for it! Over the pandemic they looked at where travel was going and felt that the role of travel agent, or travel specialist was due for an upgrade and they pioneered the idea of Travel Coaching. The truth is there is so much information out there...expert lists, google searches, amazing articles, all those influencers, but in the end, travelers really just want to connect with someone that will help them realize their next best trip. Sometimes planning a trip can be overwhelming, but talking through it with a travel coach can relieve the stress and help clarify what the best options are, as well as make sure you're getting the best value for your money. With that in mind we've curated an amazing team of travel coaches. Specialists in their own right, that are also trained to ask the powerful questions that will help get you to your next best trip. The cool thing is that these calls don't have a set outcome, the results depend on what is best for the traveler! Whether you want to travel in Southeast Asia or explore the UK -- we can make your dream adventure a reality.

MEET OUR TRAVEL COACHES

As travel coaches we want to help clients understand what type of traveler they are so they can then avoid all the noise and book a trip that's right for them! In the end, travel coaching is really life coaching for travelers, allowing clients the space to get to know themselves better, to be aware of the options; and to work out the who, what, where, when and how of the perfect vacation! If you're interested in Southeast Asia travel packages or want to explore somewhere new, we can Kaanect you with the right coach to help you plan your trip.
