My Approach To Travel Design

This page shares how I think about travel planning and why my approach feels personal, intuitive, and intentional. If you’re looking for a detailed explanation of how luxury travel planning works behind the scenes, you can explore that here: How Luxury Travel Planning Works

How I Think About Trip Design

Thoughtful travel planning is not about filling every day. It is about balance.

I focus on pacing, flow, and transitions so travel feels immersive rather than rushed. Each trip is designed with intention, allowing time for both discovery and rest. The goal is for travel to feel seamless, not overwhelming.

Experience Priorities

Every itinerary is built around a few guiding principles.

• Balanced sightseeing and downtime
• One or two signature experiences rather than too many
• Thoughtful dining recommendations
• Comfortable pacing that allows space to enjoy the destination

Details are always adjusted based on interests, energy level, and travel style.
