Make it personal without making it generic
Build around one confirmed journey, traveler, companion pattern, budget, access need, and definition of enough; keep uncertain bookings and rules visibly unconfirmed.
Presentation
Use a six-segment local-time wheel with must, may, cancel, rest, and contact markers chosen by the traveler.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Rehearse with the actual bag, clothing, documents, room dimensions, vehicle, or route in a clear home area before relying on it away from home.
- Skill
- The helper should verify current official information and distinguish planning from guarantees; specialist travel, access, immigration, health, or legal questions go to qualified sources.
- Maintenance
- Leave an editable trip-specific checklist with review dates, ownership, backup paths, and instructions for deleting private copies after travel.
- Accessibility
- Confirm mobility, seating, communication, sensory, dietary, restroom, fatigue, medication-management, and companion needs directly with traveler and providers as relevant.
- Sustainability
- Use existing luggage and containers, borrow trip-specific items, avoid decanting unnecessarily, and buy only what the rehearsal proves is missing.
- Timing
- Recheck official rules, tickets, addresses, weather, transport, opening hours, time zones, booking terms, and traveler energy close enough to departure to be useful.
