One of the most common things I hear from new clients is:
“We want to go somewhere amazing… we just don’t know where!”
And honestly? That’s completely normal. The world is big, your time is limited, and when you’re investing in a vacation — especially a luxury one — the pressure to “pick the perfect spot” can make planning feel overwhelming before it even begins.
Here’s a little secret: you don’t have to know your destination first. In fact, starting with how you want to feel is often the best way to plan a trip that truly fits you.
Step 1: Decide on the vibe, not the place.
Ask yourself:
- Do I want to feel rested or energized?
- Am I craving adventure, romance, culture, or simplicity?
- Do I want to be surrounded by nature, city energy, or coastal calm?
When you start from emotion rather than location, it’s much easier to narrow down options that actually match your goals — not just what’s trending on Instagram.
Step 2: Think about your travel rhythm.
Are you the kind of traveler who loves full itineraries, or do you prefer slow mornings and spontaneous afternoons?
Knowing your pace helps guide whether you’d be happiest wine tasting in Tuscany, ziplining through Costa Rica, or relaxing in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives. Every destination has its own rhythm — the key is matching it to yours.
Step 3: Let an expert connect the dots.
That’s where I come in.
Once I know what kind of experience you’re craving — rest, adventure, connection, indulgence — I can help you find where in the world that feeling lives.
Maybe it’s an all-inclusive in the Caribbean with a focus on relaxation, or a guided food tour through South America filled with culture and flavor. The options are endless, but the best destination for you is the one that checks every box on your personal wishlist.
Final Thought
You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out — that’s part of what I do best.
So if you’re dreaming about your next getaway but can’t decide where to go, start by asking:
“How do I want this trip to make me feel?”
Once you know that, we can build the rest together.
