When I Grow Up

When I grow up, everything I own will be bespoke. Bespoke shoes, bespoke clothes, bespoke luggage, bespoke dogs. Everything will be custom made to my exact likes and specifications. Rien de naff pour moi! Along with my fabulous bespoke couches and curtains and linens and chairs I will also have bespoke life experiences of the travel variety. And when I do, I will, in turn, hire Truffle Pig and Black Tomato (that's to-mah-to, dahling) to design them.

Truffle and Tomato are both quite fabulous travel designers. They take your every whim, interest, and desire and mix it with their unequalled travel and luxury experts to create the holiday of your very expensive dreams. After backpacking on a budget for the last six and a half months, I have to tell you, this sounds like the way travel should be done.

One day I am going to get to Antartica (hopefully before it melts), and when I do, I'm going on Black Tomato's Into the Abyss journey. This particular journey to the bottom of the Earth will have to wait until I have an extra $60,000, but I think it will be worth every penny.

Probably before having tea with the penguins, I am going to hire Truffle Pig to go absolutely anywhere. The guys (and possibly girls) at Truffle are smart, witty, experienced, and know how to plan a fantabulous journey. Even their website is quirky, creative, and fun. I imagine their trips to be even more so.

Yes, when I grow up, I'll breed bespoke horses, drive bespoke automobiles, and clone bespoke men to style my bespoke hair. But first, I'm going on a couple of truly luxurious and individualized journeys, just to know how it feels to travel without a backpack.
