A trip built around the proposal
You know you’re going to ask.
We’ll build the trip you propose on.
Answer a few questions and we build the whole trip — where to stay, what to do, where to eat — with one moment in it set aside as the proposal.
37 cities we can build a full trip in · just the two of you, or a group · nothing to sign up for · every place named is a real one
2–6 people · 3-night trip
Every trip has one moment the rest of it leads to.
That is the only thing we do that an ordinary trip planner doesn’t. We build the days — where to stay, what to do, where to eat — and then one item on the itinerary is the proposal, and everything before it is arranged to get you there. You know which moment it is. Nobody else on the trip has to.
For instance · Sedona, Arizona
A domed butte of red sandstone standing on its own off the highway, with the trail winding up the shoulder of it in ledges, and Courthouse Butte square and dark behind.
That is Bell Rock from Courthouse Vista, the ending of a 3-night trip we have already built. The rest of it is on that page.

What you get, and what we won’t invent
- The whole trip, not just the moment
- Where to stay, what to do, where to eat, across two to four nights — the same backbone our other planners run on. The proposal is one item on it, not the entire product.
- Real places, or none
- Every venue we name is an entry in our own catalog with a source and a date. Where we haven't got one we can stand behind, we say so and leave the slot empty rather than filling it.
- The parts that don't work
- Some of these places are shut for months of the year, and some are busy at every hour of every day. Both are on the page before you plan around them.
- A view you can share safely
- Send your partner a link that shows the city and roughly when to keep free — never the place, and never the word.
No date yet? Start with the month.
Plenty of people have settled on roughly when and nothing else. Some of these places shut for the season, so each month shows what is actually open then rather than the same list twelve times. That is enough to start from — pick the month and work backwards from what is good then.
You know you're going to propose. We'll build the trip around it.
Nothing to sign up for, and you don’t need to have worked any of it out first. Take one of ours, or tell us enough to build you your own.
