Meaningful travel at the edge of your comfort zone

I know we'll be using Get Uncomfy for our next vacation!

I’m thrilled to recommend the services of Get Uncomfy, led by Shannon. Shannon helped us plan out our best European vacation ever which included Milan, Lake Como, and Lugano. Her knowledge and attention to detail were quite impressive and made our experience so much easier, fun, and stress-free. We felt confident from the moment we landed in Milan, to getting our car rental, to where to go and eat. It was very precise and easy to understand. I know we’ll be using Get Uncomfy for our next vacation which will be in Turkey next year. Thanks a lot, Shannon!

The suggestions were impeccable.

The service at Get Uncomfy really is at a personalized level. The team received some high level thoughts and curated an amazing trip, customized with a “choose your own adventure” itinerary. It allowed us to explore within a set guideline without being so rigid. The suggestions of vineyards and restaurants in Sonoma were really impeccable, and to the point that I am now a quarterly wine member of one of them (no kickbacks to Get Uncomfy)! The materials provided were interactive and served as a constant reference for ourselves as we went about the weekend, acting as a fun guide chirping in suggestions as we meandered. Get Uncomfy was a complete load off of us to plan our own trip as it was bolted on to coincidental business trips, and I really couldn’t recommend the service more.

The history and context on each destination wasn't expected but really helpful to understand the perspective of where we were.

Our trip was amazing, and all of the recommendations were spot on to our vibe. Off-the-beaten-path, but high quality food. Markets, cool hikes, hot springs. It was wild and super fun! The PDF was super easy to use and well-designed! The history and context on each destination wasn’t expected but really fun to read through and helpful to understand the perspective of where we were.

What sets Get Uncomfy apart from others is the personalized touch.

Get Uncomfy, what an experience! I have used them twice now. Shannon helped plan my amazing solo trips to Ireland and Japan. What I believe sets Get Uncomfy apart from others is the personalized touch. You start out figuring out what level of customization you want with Shannon herself. Then, the magic happens. Shannon begins to build your personal adventure. Her communication through the whole process is like no other, as you can bounce different ideas off of her while she is building it out. The hotel and restaurant suggestions were all great. You can choose a set schedule or a more laid back approach. She will also recommend booking ahead and how, if there is an activity that is very popular. Honestly, for someone that doesn’t have the time to do the planning and research myself, this was perfect. I land and know exactly where and what I’m doing by pulling up my personal adventure packet. It couldn’t be any easier.

Shannon did the legwork that I felt too overwhelmed to take on.

If you’re looking for a unique travel experience tailored to your preferences, with some unexpected suggestions included, look no further than Get Uncomfy. When it came to planning my honeymoon in Bali, I was a bit overwhelmed by post-wedding decision fatigue, as well as the endless ideas I was finding online. Shannon did an amazing job of getting a sense of what we were looking for and how “uncomfy” we wanted to get. It felt like a collaborative effort (where she was doing the legwork that I felt too overwhelmed to take on). She provided a variety of accommodation options at different price points for each leg of the trip so that we could decide where we wanted to splurge. The planning process was enjoyable, and the trip document she created was incredibly helpful. It was so nice to be able to quickly refer to the document throughout our travels and to share with friends and family to follow along.  I can’t wait to plan our next adventure with Get Uncomfy’s help!

I recently used Get Uncomfy for a last minute birthday getaway. The team quickly jumped on my request and provided a great document with personalized recommendations. We had an amazing trip and using Get Uncomfy made the whole thing stress-free. I was especially impressed with how responsive the team was. Whether it was a quick question or a last-minute change, they were always available and provided solutions within minutes. It’s clear they truly care about delivering a stress-free and memorable experience. I can honestly say this was the best travel planning service I’ve ever used, and I’ll be turning to them for future trips. If you’re looking for a hassle-free and well-curated vacation, I highly recommend Get Uncomfy!

Featured: Jes from Kumarakom, India

Nestled near the ocean, my village instilled in me a profound love for fish and bustling markets. My journey led me from the shores of my hometown to the diverse cuisines of Europe during my engineering studies. While my technical background afforded me the chance to live abroad and pursue a master’s in electronics, my true calling emerged: the culinary arts.

After 5.5 years of European life, I returned home, and destiny introduced me to a friend’s friend. Today, we proudly run a homestay, cooking experience, and tour operator in Kumarakom, a picturesque village embraced by backwaters. Our philosophy is rooted in sustainability, ensuring that every program we conduct benefits the community.
