Roaming Around With Robin & Allison: Trip Timelines
Roaming Around With Robin & Allison (RAWRA) offer just one curated group trip per year. Because each trip is unique, every trip is two years in the planning. We don’t re-use any of our itineraries and each trip is planned from scratch starting with a blank page. The below RAWRA timeline will give you an insight on what you will need to do and when if you are travelling, or considering traveling, with us. We hope to see you on one of our trips very soon!
Indicative RAWRA Timeline
Most Roaming Around With Robin & Allison trips follow roughly the same timetable. We aim to travel every October and the planning starts in the November two years prior. We connect with our travellers throughout the process at several key milestones, but we are always available to answer any questions. The following timeline is indicative and subject to change.
November Year 0
As soon as one trip is completed Robin and Allison immediately start planning the next one. With just two short months until launch, November is a hectic (but exciting) time. Robin and Allison will brainstorm and set the destination. Allison will research flights, accommodation and key activities to estimate pricing. Robin and Allison will agree on pricing and maximum number of participants. This phase is top secret. While we receive many questions from past travellers, we give nothing away!
December Year 0
Last minute preparations for launch are well underway. Marketing material is finalised and any pre-launch invitations are sent.
January Year 1
RAWRA announce new trips on 1 January each year. The details are posted on Roaming Around With Allison & Robin, RAWRA’s Facebook page, This I Do For Me (TIDFM), TIDFM’s Facebook page and through our personal networks. Trips sell out quickly, typically in a few days, but often in a single day. Robin will respond to inquiries and field hundred of questions from perspective travellers during this time. Those who secure a place will be asked to complete a traveller profile and pay a non-refundable deposit. Once all travellers are confirmed a private Facebook group is created.
March Year 1
The first group meeting is held by Zoom. This is a chance to meet your fellow travellers and Robin and Allison will provide high level trip details.
July Year 2
Second Zoom meeting is held. Details of flights and accommodation are released and pre-trip essentials are discussed.
September Year 2
Third and final Zoom meeting is held to answer any remaining questions before departure.

Experience the trip of a lifetime! Return home and wait patiently (or not so patiently!) for January when RAWRA launch the next trip!
