They have offices in almost all European cities, as well as in U.S.A. They can help you to plan anything from taking a helicopter ride to beach, having black caviar delivered to a terrace of your private suite to setting up a private chef cooking experience.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
I can’t help it but associate this name with the Mr. and Mrs. Smith movie featuring then-uncouple and in denial of affair, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. But while you might be contemplating an idea that the site offers any sort of celebrity news information related to the famous couple, you are not far from disappointment, because the site is about travel – luxury travel, that is.
Founded in 2003, Mr & Mrs Smith is a boutique-hotel booking service representing what’s believed the coolest intimate hotels and rentals to stay around the globe. Each of its 500-plus properties is rigorously researched, visited personally and then reviewed anonymously by an array of tastemakers and travel detectives, including fashionista Stella McCartney, burlesque icon Dita von Teese and jetsetter Bee Shaffer to name just a few.
However, there is a membership: Mr & Mrs Smith operates a unique three-tiered membership club, which has more than 70,000 members. Members can access members-only parts of the website, at no extra cost, and benefit from exclusive discounts and special offers from participating hotels, shops and other partners.
Don’t get discouraged, because there is still enough information for all of us – the on-budget travelers. This site comes in handy when while you are on a budget, you still want to consider planning a trip of your lifetime. No one should disregards your needs and wanting to bring a bit of luxury into your travel: save on a coach sit on a train, but splurge on a private wine tour in Bordeaux, save on a hotel’s amenities, but splurge on unique clothing, accessories or souvenirs items that you can’t buy at home.
When travel overseas on a budget, in today’s times one is stricter with a budget, for the majority of us. And a trip planning becomes a more time-consuming, compromising experience that you should discuss and share with your partner (unless you’re traveling solo.) Two minds are always better than one. And while you might not be able to choose between two expensive activities, and prioritize, your partner could help. When I travel with my fiancée, we always opt to stay at a 3-star hotel vs. splurging a luxury room we won’t be spending much time in anyway.
Budget travel is all about making choices. Below are few deals to save you bucks for this week.
