IT YET.
You’re about to drop twelve grand on a route you built from blog posts and Google Maps.
I’ve driven and sailed 50+ of them. Send it to me first. I’ll tell you what’s broken. Then build you the one that actually works, as an app that runs offline in your pocket.
SEND ME MY TRIPFree route check first. If your plan already works, I’ll say so and charge you nothing.
THE ROUTE IS THE TRIP.
Everyone argues about which towns. Nobody checks whether the order works.
Here’s what actually happens. That ferry only runs one direction. The three hour drive is five on the coast road. The two villages that look like neighbours have a mountain between them. The “quick hop” is a 6am transfer through a port you’ve never heard of.
So you lose a day. Then you rush. Then you start cutting the things you came for.
That’s not bad luck. It was sitting there on paper three weeks before you left, and nobody looked.
IT’S NOT A PDF.
Most planners email you a document. You open it once, screenshot two pages, then spend the trip scrolling a phone at 4% battery in a car park outside Girona.
Yours is an app. Every stop, drive, ferry, hotel and pin, in one thing you can actually use while you’re moving.
- Works completely offline. No signal, no roaming, no panic.
- Tap a stop for directions, hours and my notes on it
- Day by day, in order, so you always know what’s next
- Lives on your home screen. Nothing to install.
This is the part people email me about afterwards.
SEE WHAT IT COSTS HEY I’M MAYA.
I’ve been doing this the long way for years. Wrong ferries. Wrong order. Villages I drove four hours for that I’d have skipped if anyone had told me.
I started writing island and coastal guides because I was sick of trip advice written by people who’d clearly never stood in the port. Then readers started emailing me their itineraries asking what was wrong with them.
Turns out the answer was almost always the same thing. Not the destinations. The order.
So now that’s the job. I fix the order. You get the holiday you thought you were booking.
SEND ME MY TRIPWHAT YOU GET.
A complete route built for booking. Not browsing.
THE ROUTE, IN THE RIGHT ORDER
This is the whole ballgame. I sequence your stops around real drive times, real ferry schedules and real sailing directions. Not the order they look good in on a map.
- Correct order of every stop
- Real drive times and ferry routes with real timings
- Which connections don’t exist, and what everyone gets wrong
- Which stops aren’t worth the detour
You stop losing two full days to backtracking.
DAY BY DAY, AT A PACE YOU CAN SURVIVE
Honest travel days. Buffer where things genuinely go wrong. Built so the trip feels like a holiday instead of a logistics exercise you paid for.
- Hour level plan for every day, in the app
- Buffer where ferries and roads actually fail
- Where to base yourself, and for how long
- What each day looks like before you pay for any of it
You know exactly what you’re buying.
WHERE TO STAY, AND WHAT TO SKIP
Accommodation in the right places for the route, three price levels, links and pins built into the app. Plus the honest part: the famous stop that isn’t worth it, and the town twenty minutes away that is.
- Three price levels for every base
- Booking links and map pins, tappable offline
- What to avoid and why
- The alternatives I’d send my own friends to
You book in one sitting without second guessing.
INCLUDED FREE.
THE REALITY CHECK
Every leg cross checked against current ferry operators, seasonal schedules and real drive times, including the routes that quietly vanish in September and strand people every single year.

What to do when a ferry is cancelled or a road is shut. Alternative connections for every leg, so one bad morning doesn’t eat your week.
Value $80 freeTWO ROUNDS OF REVISIONS

These are routes I’ve driven, sailed and fixed myself. If yours isn’t here, ask. I’ll tell you straight if I’m not the right person for it.
WHAT IT COSTS.
Most trips I plan run $8,000 to $15,000. One wrong routing decision costs more than any of these.
You pay one of these, depending on how long your trip is.

IF I CAN’T IMPROVE YOUR ROUTE,
I’LL TELL YOU BEFORE YOU PAY.
Send me your trip first. I look at it for free. If your plan already works, I’ll say so and send you on your way. If it doesn’t, you’ll know exactly what’s broken before you spend a cent with me.
HOW IT WORKS.
You email me your trip. Dates, rough idea, what you care about. One click from this page.
I check it free and tell you honestly whether I can improve it, and what it’d cost.
I build the route and the app. Usually 7 to 10 days.
Two rounds of revisions, then it’s yours. You book it in one sitting.
No calls. No scheduling links. No forms. Everything happens over email.

- ✓ You’re spending real money and want it to work
- ✓ You’ve got twelve tabs open and no actual plan

- ✓ You want something usable on your phone, not a PDF

- ✕ You want someone to book and manage the trip
- ✕ You enjoy the logistics puzzle yourself
DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
“We thought we had to stay in the expensive, crowded Amalfi towns. Maya sent us somewhere nearby with the same coastline and none of the chaos or the prices. The whole trip felt more authentic and far more relaxed.”
Michael & Jenna R, Southern Italy
“Greece felt overwhelming. Ferries, islands, timing. Maya built an itinerary that balanced beaches, villages and actual downtime. Everything connected smoothly and every place was exactly our style.”
Daniel Carter, Cyclades
“We wanted Mallorca for our honeymoon without the tourist spots. Incredible small hotels, hidden coves, and a pace that mixed relaxing and exploring perfectly. It felt genuinely thoughtful.”
Sofia & Marco Alvarez, Mallorca
“Sicily and the Aeolians, and we had no idea how to structure it. The route flowed perfectly and every stop felt intentional. One of the most memorable trips we’ve taken.”
Amanda & Chris Walker, Sicily
“We had six nights and a long list of fishing villages and beaches. Maya showed us which ones were impossible to link in one loop, then built a route that actually flowed. Every drive felt short and every stop earned its place.”
Tomás & Inés R, Costa Brava
“I wanted Basque Country, Rioja and the Picos in one trip and was drawing circles on Google Maps. Maya’s route cut out a full day of pointless driving and introduced us to places I never would have found.”
Greg Whitfield, Northern Spain

QUESTIONS.
What does the free check involve?
You email me your rough plan and dates. I look at the route and reply with what works, what doesn’t, and whether it’s worth paying me. Costs nothing, and there’s no call to book.
What exactly do I receive?
An interactive itinerary app. It opens on your phone, works fully offline, and holds every stop, drive, ferry, hotel and pin in day order. Nothing to install. It lives on your home screen.
How long does it take?
Usually 7 to 10 days once you’ve booked, depending on stops and how complex the transfers are. Tell me if your dates are tight and I’ll say honestly whether I can make it.
How many revisions do I get?
Two rounds. You see the draft, tell me what to change, and we do that twice. In practice it’s almost always enough.
Do you book anything for me?
No, and that’s the point. You get the links and the pins and book it yourself. I take no commissions from anyone, which is exactly why the recommendations are honest.
Is there a phone call?
No. Everything happens over email, so you can do it whenever suits you, in whatever timezone you’re in.
I’ve already booked flights. Too late?
No. Flights are usually the fixed point I build the route around. It’s only too late once the hotels and ferries are locked in.
Why only four slots?
Each route takes me real hours and I’m one person. When they’re gone, the next opening is the following month.
YOU CAN KEEP
OPENING TABS.
OR YOU CAN
FIX THE ROUTE.
You’re spending the money either way. The only question is whether the plan holds up when you get there.
