WHO LEATHER TRAVEL PLANNING IS FOR

    • Experienced travelers who have seen the world but now want to explore the Leather side of things.
    • Inexperienced travelers who’ve heard tantalizing tales about bars and events abroad, but who are skittish about foreign lands with foreign languages and foreign currencies.
    • High-end travelers who like travel in comfort and want to stay where they’ll be comfortable in their gear.
    • Budget travelers who want to save money while still getting a bang for their buck, euro, or pound.
    • Guys who love going to events but want to be sure they see the sights beyond the bars and clubs.
    • Guys who are interested in going to smaller, lesser-known events so they can get a taste of the local Leather Community but still have time to soak in the local culture.
    • Anyone who loves to travel but hates the planning part.
    • Anyone with a significant accumulation of frequent-flier miles and other loyalty program points who wants to be sure to get the most value out of them.
    • You!

WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE LEATHER TRAVEL PLANNING PLAN YOUR NEXT TRIP

We are passionate about travel.  You could say we’re a little obsessed.  Some people don’t enjoy the planning part of travel.   Some people don’t have the time for it.  Others are intimidated by it.  We love it!  We happily spend hours, days, weeks trying to find the best deal on flights and hotels.  We endlessly research how to get around, what are the best sights to see, the hottest places to go.  Will is a whiz at putting together trip itineraries to get the most out of his travel.  Chuck is an expert on extracting the best value out of his loyalty program miles and points. We do this for our own travel, and we’ll do it for you. 

We can help you get party tickets, and we’ll also arrange airport pickup and private tours.  We’ll let you know how you can save money on local transit and sightseeing.  When you’re planning on visiting a major city, we’ll help you plan side trips to places you might have never considered.

Through our global connections in the Leather Community, we don’t just know where to go, but when to go.  You may know about the big events like IML, Folsom Europe, Folsom SF, and Darklands.  We know what else is going on in cities around the world where you’re more likely to meet locals, rather than out-of-towners.  But we know the score on the major events too.

Our primary focus city is Berlin.  We also focus our attention on a handful of other cities that are popular with Leathermen, such as Amsterdam, Fort Lauderdale, London, Palm Springs, and San Francisco.  But we can work with you on trips anywhere in the world.  We travel anywhere and everywhere in the world on our own.  And we’ll help you get there too.

“no one is as astute and well versed in leatherman travel”

WHAT IT COSTS

Because each trip is customized, our planning and consulting fee, which builds on a base of $200, is dependent upon the complexity and length of your trip, as well as the number of travelers.

“extremely helpful”

WHAT YOU GET

At the start of the planning process, you’ll get an initial video consultation with us to discuss the goals for your trip.  After we research flights and hotels, we will propose arrangements that best suit your needs.  We will alert you when you need to book your flight.  (Because we are not travel agents, we won’t book your flights.  But we will let you know when we’ve found the best flight for you and then encourage you to book right away before the fare changes.)  The planning process substantially concludes when we provide you with an initial trip itinerary that’s fully customized to your travel goals.  We’ll keep your itinerary up to date should your flights change or if we become aware of newly announced events you might like to add to your itinerary.  Because we want your trip to be perfect and for you to be fully satisfied with your experience, we will be available before and during your trip to give you any further assistance you might need.  And you’ll look sharp wherever you go in your LEATHERMEN TRAVEL t-shirt.  Each traveler gets a free one!

“we particularly like the efforts to put you in touch with local leather men”

HOW TO GET STARTED

Send an email to will@leathermentravel.com.  Tell us your name, your destination, and the timeframe of your travel.  We’ll send you a questionnaire that will help us prepare for the video consultation.  After we receive the questionnaire, we’ll set up a time and date for the consultation.  A $100 deposit is due by the time of the consultation.  The balance will be due when we have delivered your initial itinerary.
