You know where you’re going
Give me the destination, your dates and what your dog needs. I work out the whole journey and tell you which parts need care — and which ones I would not attempt with a big dog and luggage.
Personal trip plan · €39
Tell me what would make the trip lovely. I’ll work out where you can actually go.
A route that takes your dog on every leg, not just the first train. I check each service on your dates against the operator’s own rules, and send you the journey I would book myself — with the tight connections marked and a fallback for each one.
Start where you are
You don’t need the trip worked out.
You only know the feeling
“Somewhere with sea and long walks in September” is enough to start. I find the place that fits and the route that reaches it, and I show you why the runners-up lost.
How it works
From a free request to a route you can book.
- Send me the requestFree, about five minutes. Four questions: where you set off from, what you know about the destination, when you want to travel, and who is coming — dog included.
- I answer within 24 hoursIf your trip is outside what I can research properly, I say so and tell you why. That costs you nothing.
- You pay €39 and I startPayment happens after I accept, and after I have given you the date your plan will land.
- Your plan arrives by emailMost plans take five days. You get the exact date when I accept, not a vague window.
- You book it yourselfYou book directly with the operators, in the order the plan sets out. If I cannot find a route that works for both of you, the €39 comes back in full.
What you get
Confirmed, flagged, or ruled out.
A timetable will show you a connection. It won’t tell you whether the fourth leg carries a 30 kg dog, or that the ferry sails an hour later on Wednesdays. That’s the part I do — and every leg says which of the three it is.
Your route package
Up to three routes you could actually take.
One clear recommendation, at least one real alternative and usually two — with the trade-off spelled out, so the choice is yours and you can see what it costs you.

Look inside a finished plan.
This is my own trip, not a mock-up: Schwerin to Esbjerg with Mia, by estuary, island and Wadden Sea. Eighteen pages, exactly as a customer receives them.
Inside: the recommended route leg by leg, two alternatives and why I would not choose them, every dog rule with its source and date, the booking order, the packing list, and the single Wednesday ferry that reshapes the whole journey.

Why the plan looks like this
One journey, four ways to be close to the water.
The brief was not “get me to Esbjerg”. It was maximum nature, landscapes you cannot see anywhere else, and as much time near water as possible. Bremerhaven brings the working harbour and the tidal Weser. Helgoland brings red cliffs and open sea. Esbjerg slows everything down and opens up the Wadden Sea.
Then there is Büsum, which nobody would choose. On Wednesdays the Helgoland ferry leaves at 17:00 instead of 16:00 and lands after the last useful train has gone. A search engine shows you a connection that does not exist. So the plan stops there on purpose, books the beach hotel in advance, and carries on at 08:54 the next morning.
Your trip shapes the route. One timetable quirk shapes one night of it.

Asking is free and takes about five minutes. I reply within 24 hours, and you pay only once I have confirmed I can take it on and told you when it lands.
Good questions
Before you send your trip idea.
Do I need to know where I want to go?
No. A destination is one way in. So is “a quiet week by the sea, somewhere we can get to without a car”. I can recommend the place as well as the route.
What do I actually receive?
One written plan by email, around fifteen to twenty pages. The recommended route leg by leg, up to two alternatives, the dog rule and source for every service, booking order, day-trip ideas and a packing list. The sample above is a real one.
Why not just ask an AI or search myself?
You can, and for a simple direct train it is fine. It falls apart on the legs nobody publishes clearly: the replacement bus with its own dog rule, the regional operator whose muzzle wording is buried in a PDF, the ferry that sails an hour later on Wednesdays. I check the operator’s own page for every leg and tell you the date I checked it.
Are the rules guaranteed?
No, and nobody can guarantee them. Rules and timetables are checked against current sources and dated in the plan, but operators change them and make the final call on the day. That is why the plan names its sources — so you can recheck the two or three that matter before you book.
When will I receive it?
I reply within 24 hours. If I accept, I give you the delivery date before you pay — usually about five days.
Do you make the bookings?
No. You get the route, the source links and the order to book in, then you book directly with the operators. Nothing is marked up and nothing goes through me.
