Soulful Journeys Travel Transformation through Travel
Creating transformative journeys for inspired explorers But here’s the good news: Travel can change that.

Hi, I’m Christy, a luxury travel advisor and founder of Soulful Journeys Travel. Through Soulful Journeys, I design travel experiences that reconnect you to your own sense of wonder. We all have a lightness within us, an inner child who yearns to explore fearlessly and love without hesitation. Too often, though, we don’t let our light shine — we get bogged down with day-to- day details, overwhelme

d by the endless to-do lists at work, or distracted by every “ping” our smart phones emit. Intentional, expertly designed travel experiences help you reconnect with the land, with your loved ones, and — above all — with yourself. Whether you're planning a group getaway with family or friends, a honeymoon that takes you way beyond those typical 'romance' spots, or even a solo adventure just to reconnect with yourself, my journeys deliver travel magic with soul-enriching discoveries around every corner. I work with amazing partners focused on global wellness and transformative travel experiences. If you are looking for a unique, immersive travel experience, or to check a destination off your bucket list, I can help. Ready to embark on your own Soulful Journey that ignites your passions and opens your eyes in extraordinary ways? It all starts with a complimentary, no-obligation planning call so I can learn more about the trip you've been dreaming of.

Every room. Every suite. Every view faces the Taj Mahal.

Oberoi Amarvilas, less than half a mile from the East Gate, consistently ranks among the top hotels in Asia, and is one of the first properties we mention when a client says India is on their list.

India trips are also some of the most talked-about trips our clients ever take. Not just during the trip, for years after. The country rewards great planning more than almost anywhere else we send people, and this is one of the properties we build that planning around.

We'd love to help design the right journey. Get in touch to start planning!

Europe gets all the attention. South America gets all the rewards. And right now, it's the best-kept secret in luxury travel.

While everyone is fighting for peak-season availability in Italy and France, South America offers world-class hotels, extraordinary food, and a fraction of the crowds. And the destinations have never been better.

Peru has a food culture that has surprised the world, and properties around Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley that rival anything in Europe for design and experience.

Colombia has gone from under the radar to genuinely unmissable: Cartagena's old city, the coffee region, and Medellín's food and design scene are drawing travelers.

Argentina rounds it out with Buenos Aires, one of the great city experiences anywhere, and Mendoza wine country, which competes with the best regions in the world.

Three countries. Extraordinary experiences. If South America has been on your radar, this is the year to stop waiting.

Let's plan it properly.

Raise your hand if you're overdue for a real break. If so, there's a Forbes Five-Star resort in Southern California with your name on it.

Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa is 45 acres of citrus groves and Mediterranean architecture just north of San Diego, and it has collected some of the most serious recognition in domestic travel. Forbes Five Star. AAA Five Diamond. Ranked the number one resort in California by U.S. News & World Report. The spa alone is worth the trip.

What makes it stand out: it has the intimacy of a boutique hotel with the amenities of a much larger resort. Fresh-squeezed orange juice delivered to your casita every morning. A Bentley fleet available to borrow. World-class tennis across 20 courts, including red clay. The Pony Room restaurant, serving coastal ranch cuisine that is significantly better than resort dining has any right to be.

If you’re looking for a California trip that doesn't involve LAX or the usual resort experience, this is the one we come back to.

South Africa is one of the most itinerary-flexible destinations in the world. Here's how we recommend experiencing it:

Cape Town first. It's one of the most visually striking cities on earth, and the design hotel and restaurant scene here has matured significantly. Table Mountain, the Atlantic Seaboard, the Cape Peninsula. Most clients who go for a few days wish they had more.

For wildlife: the private reserves around Sabi Sands share an unfenced border with Kruger National Park. Big Five sightings are among the most consistent on the continent, and the private reserve experience means dramatically fewer vehicles per sighting than in the public park.

For wine: Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are genuinely world-class. The estate stays in Franschhoek in particular, with long lunches, cellar visits, and mountain scenery that doesn't match most people's image of Africa at all.

Most itineraries we design for South Africa cover all three. If Africa is on your travel bucket list, let's talk through what makes sense for your trip.

Truffle hunting with trained dogs in the morning. Twenty-seven holes through Tuscan vineyards in the afternoon. Tableside tiramisù at dinner inside a medieval castle. That's a Tuesday at Castelfalfi.

It covers everything Tuscany does well in one place. Five restaurants, including La Rocca inside the original castle. A RAKxa spa with both indoor and outdoor pools. Falconry experiences, a cooking class with the executive chef, and a beekeeping session with the resident beekeeper that ends with a honey tasting.

The estate produces its own wine, olive oil, and wildflower honey, all available to taste and take home. San Gimignano is 30 minutes away, and Volterra is 35, so it works well as a base for the wider region too.

If Italy has been on your travel wish list, this is one of the most interesting places to build the trip around. Get in touch to learn more.

Wellness travel has changed. The best wellness trips today are designed around how you actually want to feel when you come home.

For some clients, it's a full immersion: Ayurvedic programs in Sri Lanka, thermal circuits in Iceland, or a dedicated retreat in Tuscany. For others, it's more woven in: morning yoga in Bali, a hammam in Morocco, a long hike in the Swiss Alps, followed by a serious dinner.

A few things we always build into wellness itineraries: spa programs rooted in local culture, not just a massage menu. Outdoor movement that actually connects you to where you are. Culinary wellness: farm-to-table dining and cooking classes that treat food as part of the restoration. And mindfulness is built into the schedule rather than squeezed in.

If you're thinking about a trip centered around how you feel, not just where you go, we'd love to help design it.

Some of Norway's most spectacular coastlines have no road access. The only way to experience it is exactly like this.

Hurtigruten has been sailing Bergen to Kirkenes since 1893, and nothing about the scenery has gotten old. The Lofoten Wall emerging from the sea. The Northern Lights appearing above the deck on a winter crossing.

Hurtigruten is so confident in the conditions that they'll give you a free voyage if the aurora doesn't show. An onboard expedition team that makes every port feel like an insider experience.

This is the trip clients come back from and immediately start telling people about. Let's get it on the calendar.

Summer travel doesn't have to mean Europe. Some of the best itineraries we're building right now are in Southeast Asia.

The island-hopping combination of Thailand and Indonesia is one of the strongest trips we put together. Private villas, boat charters through some of the most spectacular water in the world, extraordinary food, and a value proposition that Europe simply cannot compete with at the moment.

Thailand's Andaman islands, Koh Lanta, Koh Yao Noi, and the stretches well away from the main Phuket strip, set the tone beautifully before connecting into Bali as a second base. The Komodo Islands for diving and wildlife. Lombok for something calmer. Raja Ampat for some of the best marine biodiversity on earth.

It keeps showing up at the top of Caribbean rankings. Most people have never heard of it.

Hermitage Bay has landed on the Condé Nast Traveler Gold List and Travel + Leisure's World's Best Hotels list more than once, and it's not hard to understand why. Thirty suites maximum, adults only (16+), and every single one faces the ocean.

Private plunge pools, daily changing menus built around produce from the resort's own garden, a Tree Bar literally constructed around the trunk of a tree, and a clear-bottomed kayak you can take out any time are included in the rate.

The day trip to Barbuda for lunch at Nobu on Princess Diana Beach is one of the best advisor recommendations we make anywhere in the Caribbean.

Antigua also delivers well beyond the resort. English Harbour, 365 beaches, and some of the best sailing culture in the Eastern Caribbean are all worth building time around.

There are two versions of Phuket. The one most people book, and the one we actually recommend.

Anantara Mai Khao is on Phuket's longest beach, 15 minutes from the airport, bordered by a national park, and a completely different experience from what most people associate with the island.

And if it looks familiar, that's because White Lotus Season 3 was filmed here. The 92 pool villas are set around lotus-filled lagoons in a traditional Thai-village style. The Spice Spoons cooking class is one of our favorite things to recommend: it starts with a market visit before moving into a traditional Thai kitchen, which is exactly the kind of thing that makes a trip feel different from just a beach holiday.
