Question 1

Is this a kind of therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. Verve journeys draw on research about rest, nature and reflection, but they aren’t treatment. If you’re in crisis or need clinical support, please reach out to a professional first. We’ll help you find one.

Question 2

What if hard feelings come up on the trip?

Accepted Answer

That’s common when you slow down. Journey mode has a 2-minute grounding practice and a 24/7 human concierge, and the support sheet lists local help.

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Planning is free and unlimited. When you book, you pay the same price as booking direct with no booking fee, hosts pay us a small commission instead. Verve Home, the after-trip toolkit, is $6 a month (or $49 a year) and your first three months are free.

Question 4

What if I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

Cancellation terms are shown on every item before you pay, and many stays are free to cancel until a stated date. If plans change, your concierge can rebook or refund what the host allows, and you can cancel Verve Home in two taps.

Question 5

Can I bring my kids or a partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Invite anyone as a companion: each person writes their own intention and votes on the days, and private notes stay private. Family journeys pace things around younger travellers, and your concierge can adjust for ages and needs.

Question 6

I use a wheelchair / have low energy: will it work for me?

Accepted Answer

Tell us in one line, or tap a chip, and your journey is written around it: step-free places, shorter days, more rest, seats and shade. Every place lists what we know about access, and your concierge checks the rest with the host before you book.

Question 7

Who sees what I write?

Accepted Answer

Only you, unless you choose to share. Reflections, letters and journal entries are private by default, are never sold, and can be deleted any time from Settings. Companions only see what you pick in the invite window.
