After years of designing custom, high-touch travel experiences, I’ve seen even the most seasoned travelers make a few common missteps. Here are the top 3—and how you can avoid them to create a trip that’s truly unforgettable:
1. Trying to Fit in Too Much (and Not Allowing Enough Time)
It’s so tempting to pack your itinerary with everything you might want to see, especially if it’s your first time in a destination. But in luxury travel, less is often more. Rushing from one landmark to the next leaves no space for spontaneity, true cultural connection, or even a little downtime by the pool. Build in buffer time. Trust me—your best memories will come from the unplanned moments.
2. Only Chasing Instagram Hot Spots
There’s nothing wrong with wanting that perfect photo, but designing your entire trip around what’s trending can actually lead you to miss out on the things you truly love. Often once a destination or experience goes viral, it often becomes overcrowded and loses its authenticity. Instead, let your interests lead the way, whether that’s food, art or adventure. A well-designed trip reflects you, not the algorithm.
3. Not Working With a Travel Advisor (Even if You Love Planning)
I get it, planning can be part of the fun. But working with a travel advisor doesn’t take that away, it enhances it. My team come alongside you to elevate your ideas and ensure you’re getting the best care. We leverage personal relationships and insider knowledge cultivated over years to unlock access, upgrades, and VIP treatment you simply can’t find online. It’s not just about booking a trip—it’s about curating an experience tailored just for you.

Get in touch with my team to start planning!
