About Reground Travel
Our Story
Why Reground Exists
Travel planning should feel personal, not overwhelming.
Planning a trip has never been easier to start, yet it has never been harder to do well.
There are endless blogs, social media recommendations, AI tools, videos, and reviews, each promising the "perfect" itinerary. While having more information is helpful, it can also make it difficult to know what actually fits your trip.
That's why I created Reground Travel.
I wanted to create a place where travel planning feels less like sorting through endless tabs and more like having a thoughtful conversation with someone who can help you make sense of it all.
Instead of beginning with destinations or ready-made itineraries, every trip begins with understanding how you like to travel, what matters most, and what kind of experience you're looking for.
Because the best trips aren't measured by how much you see. They're measured by how well they fit the person taking them.
Our Approach
Every recommendation starts with the traveler
No two travelers are alike, and neither are their trips.
Some enjoy busy days filled with sightseeing. Others prefer slower mornings, meaningful local experiences, or extra time to simply relax. Some travel with young children, while others are planning a honeymoon, a milestone celebration, or a long-awaited getaway.
That's why I don't follow a standard planning formula.
Every recommendation is shaped around your priorities, pace, interests, and budget, helping you make informed decisions that feel right for your trip.
Whether you need an expert review of an itinerary you've already created, a custom travel plan from scratch, or full-service planning and booking, I'll meet you where you are and help you decide what makes sense
Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Ravan.
I'm the Founder & Travel Consultant behind Reground Travel, an independent travel consultancy based in Ottawa, Ontario.
Like many travelers, I've spent countless hours researching destinations, comparing accommodations, adjusting itineraries, and trying to make the most of every trip. Over time, those experiences taught me that successful travel isn't about checking off the longest list of attractions. It's about creating a journey that feels right for the person taking it.
I've had the opportunity to travel across North America, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, experiencing different styles of travel, cultures, and ways people explore the world. Those experiences continue to shape how I approach every itinerary I create.
They've also reinforced something I believe strongly: there isn't a single "best" way to travel.
Today, I help travelers navigate the planning process with practical guidance, honest recommendations, and hands-on support, whether they simply need reassurance before booking or want someone to manage the planning from beginning to end.
Working Together
What is it actually like to work with me?
When you work with me, you can expect honest advice and recommendations that are made with your trip in mind, not simply because something is popular or trending.
I'll take the time to understand what's important to you, answer your questions, and explain why I'm recommending something.
