NEXTPEDITION is a custom-made mystery trip specifically designed around your Travel Sign.
Every NEXTPEDITION begins with the Travel Profiler – a sharable, free quiz that distills your personality and interests into a Travel Sign. Our NEXTPEDITION Specialists use your Travel Sign to help craft a NEXTPEDITION just for you. You receive a mobile device called the Travel Console, to use on your trip. Day by day, the Travel Console reveals portions of your itinerary like destinations and activities. That's where the mystery comes in.
The Travel Sign embodies characteristics of the type of traveler you are and is determined by taking the Travel Profiler. It helps your NEXTPEDITION Specialist create a custom trip based on your personality and interests.
Not at all. But you will find your Travel Sign, which will help reveal what type of traveler you are. After that, you can talk with a NEXTPEDITION Specialist if you choose. Based on your Travel Sign and a few more questions, they will create a custom trip just for you.

The Travel Console is a device that's also your travel guide. It will inspire you to go places and do things you wouldn't normally do. Day by day, it will reveal your itinerary, recommend cool spots to check out and allow you to easily broadcast your adventures to your followers back home.
