Owner and CEO Lillian Rafson got the idea for her company after taking a three month backpacking trip in Europe. Pack Up + Go is an unusual type of travel service, which books 3 day mini-vacations, depending on the client’s budget. Clients have no clue where they are going until the day they are to leave.
The company “surprises” clients with 3 day travel plans within the US. Prices range from $350 per person to $2,000. Based on their clients budget and location, Rafson plans travel arrangements, lodging, and tickets. Clients do not know their destination until they are given their tickets. Rafson states that she looks for unique and fun trips that aren’t generally found in travel guides or are known only to locals. Clients can choose to fly or take a train or, if they prefer, drive their own car on their own “secret” road trip.
Clients fill out a short survey with preferences ( No Snow, for example, or Hate Big Cities) and Pack Up + Go does the rest. The company is licensed to sell travel in all 50 states. The price covers only travel and lodging; food and destinations are your choosing and cost extra.
