Two years married to the best guy I know. For better or worse, being by your side means there is love, joy & adventure in every single day. I adore our life together & wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’ll save the rest of my sappy words for your card… let’s get back to our spritz!🍹

Ok, we all agreed we have many favorites… but for the sake of this video we each could only say one🤓  We all love planning the classic European spots (they’re some of our top requests!), but everyone on our team also has other destinations they feel especially connected to, know incredibly well and absolutely love planning. For our team, that looks a little something like this:

🇮🇹 Italy
🇻🇳 Vietnam
🇲🇦 Morocco
🌏 Asia
🦒 Safari

These are the trips we could talk about all day, and just SOME of the destinations where our own experience, relationships and firsthand knowledge can really add something to your trip. Of course, our expertise stretches far beyond this list.

Our team plans travel across the world, with different specialties, lived experience and local connections that allow us to match each client with the right destination and the right trip. Ready to start planning your next adventure?

Get in touch with our team and let us create something completely tailored to you.

I was in Kenya earlier this year and was completely blown away by the views from by Amboseli. It feels so different from other safari regions, largely because Mount Kilimanjaro is such a constant presence in the landscape.

You’ll be out on a game drive, watching elephants or giraffes move across the plains, and there it is in the background. I stayed at Angama Amboseli, which has one of the most extraordinary settings I’ve experienced on safari.

The views alone are part of the reason you travel there. Kenya is such a special country. If you’re keen to visit, we’d love to help you start planning a trip of your own. Get in touch and we can build an itinerary around the regions, lodges and experiences that make the most sense for you.

And stay tuned to because we may just have a very exciting way to experience Kenya with us next year… 👀🇰🇪

There’s been a lot of conversation lately about hotel reviews and whether people with influence have a responsibility to share bad experiences publicly. I absolutely think criticism matters, and hotels should be accountable when things go wrong, particularly at a luxury price point.
But I also think this is a conversation about media literacy.
Social media rewards strong opinions and controversy. A dramatic negative review will often travel further than a measured assessment, so I think it’s worth asking: who is giving the review? What experience do they have? And what incentive do they have for telling the story in this particular way?
I stay in hotels constantly and I certainly don’t love every experience. When something goes wrong, my preference is to give that feedback directly to the hotel first, where the team actually has the opportunity to respond or make a change. And if I don’t think a hotel is right for a client, I’ll be completely honest with them privately.
My job is built on relationships, both with my clients and with hoteliers, GMs and vendors. Those relationships allow me to call someone directly, solve problems and elevate my clients’ stays. Maintaining that trust doesn’t compete with being honest with my clients. It helps me do my job better.
Of course, there are exceptions. Racism, sexual harassment or abuse, discrimination, serious safety concerns and behaviour of that nature absolutely warrant public accountability. I’m talking about the much greyer territory of a disappointing stay or a hotel falling short of expectations.
Criticism is important. But how we deliver it matters, and so does how we consume it.
And yes, I’m aware of the duality of saying all of this on social media, into a fuzzy microphone of my own. Maybe we don’t need fewer opinions online. Maybe we just need to be more thoughtful about how we share them, and more discerning about which ones we trust.

I’m naturally a very forward-thinking person. I’m usually looking at what’s next, where I want to go, what I want to build, and how I can keep growing. But every now and then, I have to remind myself to stop and actually look at what’s already here.

Around 10 years ago, I completely changed direction. I left my job, took a huge risk on myself, and started travelling on my own dime simply because I loved it and wanted to experience more of the world.

I didn’t have the whole thing mapped out, but slowly that love of travel became a career, and then two businesses built around helping other people experience more of the world too. And that still sits at the heart of everything I do.

I really believe travel changes us. It opens us up, introduces us to people and perspectives we may never have encountered otherwise, and makes us more curious, empathetic and understanding of the world around us.

So this is partly a reminder to myself to stop every once in a while and appreciate what’s been built along the way. And maybe a reminder to you too that taking the risk, changing direction and starting over can lead somewhere you never could have planned.

And if you’re new here, hi, I’m Whitney 👋 I share a lot about travel, hotels, life in London, and the behind-the-scenes of building a career around seeing more of the world.

Very glad you’re here x
