What is bespoke travel?

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you have always been fascinated by Stonehenge. Maybe you dream of circumnavigating Australia. Or maybe you heard that Bhutan is the happiest place on earth, and fell in love from afar. You have an urge to travel. Wherever your heart takes you, you deserve to have an expert advisor on your side.

From the pampering of escorted tours to the adventure of flexible independent travel, there is a wide variety of options to choose from. Should you cruise, or go by land? What are the risks and rewards of each? Which airports, and airlines, should you avoid at all costs? Who can you trust to fill in the blanks?

These days, it’s easy to get on the internet and look up just about anything. You will get hundreds of thousands of results, and most of them will want your money. The information overload trap is real.

Here is where I come in. Although I have over twenty years of experience, I will admit that I haven’t quite seen it all. But I’ve seen a lot. I often say that my job is to be curious, and paranoid. What happens if something goes wrong? That’s when I have the opportunity to shine.

My goal is to craft a seamless experience, with clients’ concerns considered and addressed before departure. I enjoy the meticulous nature of my work, and ironing out those kinds of details. This level of attention helps my clients avoid many pitfalls. But you know what they say about the best laid plans.

Injury, illness, weather events, civil unrest, volcanoes, pandemics, and more can all affect travel. While I can’t control disasters, I do have decades of experience in coordinating vendors, clients, and worried family members. I am adept at working long-distance for the benefit of my clients who are dealing with scary situations far from home.

To put it simply, bespoke travel is a journey that you get to design, and I help to create. It means more control, safety, and the enthusiastic partnership of an expert.

The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.”

~G.K. Chesterton
