Price

TRAVEL COACHING : $1100

For everything else, it is difficult to say in advance what the costs for backpacking will be, it all depends on your preferences. India is a very low-cost country, plan $40 per day including accommodation, food, transportation and activities. I must admit I always add a buffer to the budget, to make sure you avoid unpleasant surprises. Here is how I suggest you plan your budget (Note that prices were accurate BEFORE Covid-19. Let’s see how it changes in the near future):

🌿Approximately $1300 for round trip flights Montreal-Delhi 

🌿Travel insurance (very variable)

🌿$40 per day for spending (transportation, activities, food, accommodation)

It is recommended to plan a budget between $3000 and $3200 for two weeks, depending on your preferences of course (once more, the budget is buffered). It includes EVERYTHING: coaching, plane, insurance, vaccines, accommodation, food and activities. Note the price is approximative and I will be there to help you make choices that align with your budget.

Project Values

Autonomy and Initiative

Autonomous: the keyword of our adventure. You will be in charge of your own happiness during this trip, so there will be no delegation.

Personal Responsability

Everyone is considered to be an adult responsible for their own choices, initiatives, their trip’s success and security. All are invited to identify their needs and find ways to meet them.

Curiosity and Open-Mindedness

When traveling light we discover ourselves and others. We get a taste of other cultures and we share ours in exchange, we listen to their song and we sing ours, we share the same table and open our hearts.

Flexibility

Backpacking offers great flexibility; traveling without booking everything in advance requires great adaptability. Everyone is invited to develop this quality during the adventure.

Respect and Acceptance

Respect and acceptance of ourselves and others for our respective strengths and limitations, as well as our different ways of living the experience.

Fun and Improv

Respect and acceptance of ourselves and others for our respective strengths and limitations, as well as our different ways of living the experience.

Resgistration

I ask for a 40% deposit to confirm your registration. This deposit is not refundable, unless I (Melanie Gagne) decide to cancel the trip for significant reasons. In that case, 100% will be reimbursed. Your registration is transferable if you find someone to replace you. You will simply need to inform me.

The remaining amount for coaching must be given 1 month maximum before the trip. You can transfer it by Interac to melanie.m.gagne@gmail.com.

Pricing for coaching includes lifetime access to my online class and its updates. I will give you access with a discount coupon. Note that if you decide to buy the course separately, instead of using my discount coupon, a $20 fee will be charged from PayPal to cover commissions.

This trip is meant to encourage you to be independent. Once the deposit is made, you will be added to a private Facebook group to facilitate the sharing of anecdotes and meetups. Within this group, I can answer your questions and you can meet with other participants.
