Places worth the trip.
Seven destinations we know well and design with care. Every itinerary is one of one — these are starting points, not packages. If you have somewhere in mind that isn’t here, ask.
Europe
Italy
The Amalfi Coast in May, a Chianti farmhouse at harvest, three days in Rome at the start or end. Italy works as a single focus or as a sequence — we've designed both. The question is how much time you have and how fast you want to move.
Best season — April–June · September–October

Caribbean
St. Lucia
Twin volcanic peaks above Soufrière, a hillside villa with a view that earns the flight, a sailboat for an afternoon on the water. The Caribbean done quietly — private, unhurried, the kind of week you don't want to leave.
Best season — December–April

United States
The American Southwest
Bryce Canyon to Zion, with a night in the middle worth slowing down for. Red rock and canyon light at their best in spring and fall, when the crowds thin and the temperatures cooperate. Lisa has designed this route several times — it works.
Best season — March–May · September–November

Europe
Switzerland & The Alps
Andermatt for families who want a proper ski holiday — The Chedi as home base, private instructors on the mountain, and a New Year's Eve where the children have their own midnight celebration so the adults can be fully present at theirs.
Best season — December–March

Europe
Spain
Four days in Barcelona — Gaudí, the Gothic Quarter, Compartir, the Mediterranean light at four in the afternoon. Three days in Madrid — the Prado with a guide, the Mercado de San Miguel, tapas done properly. Connected by a morning AVE that is itself worth the fare.
Best season — April–June · September–October

Canada
Banff & Canmore
Three mountains, one valley, a base in Canmore that gives you the Rockies without the resort. Lake Louise twice, Sunshine Village, Mount Norquay — each a different argument for why this is the finest ski country in North America.
Best season — December–March
How we design this trip
American South
Charleston
The most livable city in the American South — walkable, beautiful, with a food scene that has earned its attention. King Street, the French Quarter, Sullivan's Island, and a rooftop at the end of the day that makes the whole trip feel right.
Best season — March–May · October–November
How we design this trip
Tell us the kind of trip.
If you don’t have a destination in mind yet — just a pace, a feeling, a mood — start here.
Slow on purpose
Two destinations, two weeks, no transfers before ten. The trip you fly home from rested — not the one you spend three days recovering from.
Active, without being relentless
Trails worth the early start, lodges worth coming back to at the end of the day. Movement built into the trip, not bolted on. The Southwest and the Alps are both in this category.
Beach without the resort
A villa, a smaller island, a week that feels like yours rather than everyone else's. No swim-up bars. No all-inclusive wristband.
City, properly
Three days minimum, a real neighborhood base, restaurants where the locals actually eat. Rome or Lisbon or Tokyo treated as a destination rather than a layover.
The trip that has to be right
A significant birthday. Something long-deferred. The trip that carries real weight. We sweat the details harder on these — because the margin for error is smaller.
Somewhere you haven't considered yet
We've been to places you haven't thought to go. Sometimes the right conversation starts there.
Begin
Thirty-minute discovery call. No fee.
If we’re a fit from there, a single design fee engages us as your agent — and we begin building the itinerary to your specs, presenting real options at each junction.
Waypoints — field notes from the road, sent when there’s something worth saying.
