Wanderlust Travelby Heather Smith Host a party
Passport Parties
Wine & Wanderlust

It works for Tupperware, makeup, jewelry and food. So why not travel?!

It's the same idea you already know and love! You invite your friends over, I bring the trip ideas, and everyone leaves with a vacation on their mind instead of a stack of containers!

As a thank-you for hosting, you earn travel credit toward your own next getaway!

Free to host. No one has to buy anything!
Your party, your way

Call it whatever fits your crew

Whether you're throwing a Passport Party, a Suitcase Social or a Wine & Wanderlust night, it's your party. Make it as casual or as fancy as you want and I'll match the vibe!

Passport Party

The classic! It's a big night all about where everyone wants to go next.

Suitcase Social

Easy and relaxed. Think coffee, brunch or a lazy Sunday afternoon!

Wine & Wanderlust

Grab a glass and spend the evening dreaming up the next girls' trip or getaway!

How it works

Four easy steps to a very fun night!

  1. 1

    Pick a date and a theme

    Tell me what date works and what your friends daydream about. I'll handle the rest of the planning!

  2. 2

    Invite your people

    Neighbors, coworkers, the book club, your cousin who never stops talking about Italy. The more the merrier!

  3. 3

    I bring the show

    about 45 minutes

    Real photos, real stories, insider tips and the deals nobody posts online. Then we hang out and talk travel!

  4. 4

    You earn travel credit

    When your guests reserve trips, you earn credit toward your own. Hosting has never paid off so well!

Pick your vibe

Choose a party theme

Each party is built around what your group actually wants to hear about. Here are a few favorites.

Sandals & Beaches

Sandals & Sunsets!

Overwater bungalows, butlers and why all-inclusive resorts are the way to go.

Cruises

Ship Happens!

Picking the perfect ship, the best cabin and the ports worth the hype.

Girls' Trips

Girls Just Wanna Have Sun!

How to get the whole group on one trip without the group chat meltdown.

Group Trips

The Whole Crew Is Coming!

Family reunions, milestone birthdays, destination weddings and everyone in matching shirts!

Family Trips

Are We There Yet?!

Trips the kids will brag about and the grown-ups will actually enjoy.

Bucket List Trips

Once in a Lifetime!

Europe and the other big trips you've always talked about, plus how to make them happen.

Mystery Trips

Destination: ???

The trip where you don't know where you're going until you land.

Got your own idea?

Tell me the theme you have in mind and I'll build a whole party around it!

PASS THE PARTY BONUS$50

For every guest who throws their own Passport Party!

When someone from your party hosts one of their own, you get $50 more. No limit!

Stack them all and your next getaway gets a whole lot sweeter!

Guests get a perk too

Anyone who reserves a trip after the party gets a little something extra from me, just for showing up!

No pressure, ever

Nobody has to buy anything. Come for the stories, stay for the snacks, reserve when you're ready!

Host credits go toward a new trip you reserve with me within 12 months of your party. A trip counts once it's reserved within 60 days of the party, totals at least $1,000 and is either paid in full or covered by a Travel Insured Deluxe or Platinum plan purchased through me. A Pass the Party bonus counts once your guest's party is on the calendar and happens within 3 months of yours. Credits have no cash value. See the full host rewards terms.

Good questions

Before you send the invites

Anything else on your mind? Add it to your request.

What do I have to do as the host?

Pick a date, invite your friends and have a spot for everyone to sit. Snacks and drinks are up to you. I bring the presentation and everything that goes with it!

How many people should I invite?

Anywhere from a handful to a full living room works. Six to fifteen is a great sweet spot for good conversation!

Does it cost anything?

Not a thing! Hosting is free, the presentation is free and nobody has to reserve a trip to come.

Will it feel like a sales pitch?

Nope. It's travel stories, photos and tips from someone who has been there. If someone wants to plan a trip, great. If they just want to dream for a night, also great!

When do I get my travel credit?

Your Fill the Room bonus is yours right after the party, and trip credits are added once your guests' trips are paid in full or covered by travel protection through me. Both go toward a new trip you reserve with me within 12 months!
