3 Reasons I Don't Book My Clients an Airbnb
Airbnb has important place in the travel industry. However, its place is not in the private, luxury travel realm. When clients come to me with a vision for their trip, Airbnb rarely comes up. When it does through, I always push back right away, primarily because quality is not something I can vet or control. My role as your travel consultant and experience curator is to create an journey of ease and comfort. Standing outside a padlocked door waiting in the sun for a WhatsApp response that may or may not come is not generally what I have in mind for them.
The Local Market's Honesty
A watermelon, a vendor who had no interest in my Moroccan darija, and forty-five seconds that told me more about where I was than anything else I did that day. On why the local market is the most honest room in any city, and the first place I go. The hotel concierge will send you somewhere safe. The market will send you somewhere true.
Meet Liberty Barrons
We proudly introduce Liberty Barrons, our new Senior Luxury Travel Curator. She has solo backpacked from Colombia to Antarctica, sent clients to frozen lakes in Swedish Lapland, and has very considered opinions about the hotel you found on Instagram.
Africa’s Most Underrated Safari
Once devastated by war and poaching, the park has become a conservation success story, now home to the Big Five and diverse species. Over several unhurried days, we experienced intimate, awe-inspiring encounters with wildlife, including a rare sighting of a critically endangered black rhino. Compared to the more adrenaline-driven gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, Akagera offers a reflective safari experience rooted in restoration and resilience.
Morocco is finally being seen
Last month, I was invited by Morocco's National Tourism Office to speak at a USTOA industry day in Rabat; a room where U.S. travel operators met Morocco's leading public and private tourism stakeholders. Born in Morocco, I joined a fireside chat to share what American travelers truly want from the destination: depth, access, and authentic encounter. The conversation confirmed something I've long believed. Morocco isn't reinventing itself. It's finally being given the stage it deserves.
Why work with me?
Everyone has access to the same internet. The same review sites, the same booking platforms, the same Instagram accounts showing pristine hotel rooms. So what exactly do I do that you can't?
The World’s Most Beautiful Places
Every January, the internet produces its list of the world's “most beautiful” places. I read them the way I read horoscopes, with one eyebrow raised. Beauty is not a competition and it certainly isn't consensus. And yet. Here is my edit, built from years of designing journeys to places that have genuinely stopped me in my tracks. Take it as one well-traveled opinion, nothing more. If they move you, it’s because they are authentically and objectively beautiful.
Where to Travel for Eid
Discover the best destinations to celebrate Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. From Mecca and Istanbul to Morocco, Bosnia, Egypt, Qatar, and Dubai, explore spiritual journeys, luxury retreats, and cultural celebrations worldwide. Whether you are seeking sacred moments of reflection, vibrant city festivities, or restorative seaside escapes, these destinations offer meaningful ways to mark this special time of year.
Mosques Worth Crossing the World For
Some places require more than a plane ticket. They require patience, curiosity, and a willingness to follow roads that narrow into dust. Here are 10 mosques around the world, tucked deep within mountain villages, hidden behind unmarked alleyways, or standing quietly in corners of the world where few travelers think to look. Some are small, humble, and almost invisible at first glance, yet their spiritual weight is undeniable. Others are obvious and glorious.
Perfect Anniversary Journeys
Over the past year, as a luxury travel consultant, I’ve designed more than 10 anniversary journeys that defy traditional expectations. None of them featured champagne by an infinity pool or floating breakfasts or towel swans, I can assure you. Coincidentally, every couple asked for three things.
50 Trip Ideas For This Summer
I’ve put together a list for your summer plans. This may either help or momentarily send you into a spiral, in which case you’re welcome to close this window, clear your caches, and email me instead so we can talk it through properly. But if you, like me, appreciate seeing your options laid out, consider this the holy grail of summer planning: what follows is a list of 50—yes, five zero—ideas for summer, designed to spark inspiration rather than demand an immediate answer.
Slowing down in Guatemala
Guatemala is not a country you rush through. It’s a place that asks you to slow your pace, sharpen your senses, and listen to the land, to its people, to histories that are still very much alive. This itinerary traces a thoughtful arc through three of Guatemala’s most soulful regions: the volcanic calm of Lake Atitlán, the colonial elegance of Antigua, and the deep jungle heart of the ancient Maya world near Tikal.
Transformational Luxury
In a world where “luxury travel” is often synonymous with glossy brochures and cookie-cutter five-star itineraries, Sarah Casewit offers something refreshingly different: journeys designed not around amenities, but around meaning: a new path for discerning travelers who want more than just a change of scenery, they want transformation, connection, and stories to last a lifetime.
Sailing Into the Arctic Glow
There are certain moments in the Arctic Circle, Norway, that feel almost mythical. They are so fleeting, so otherworldly, that you wonder if they truly happened. The last sunset before the polar night is one of them, on the night of November 27th. And this year, as we sailed across the Norwegian Sea, it unfolded in a way that felt absolutely unreal.
Where to go in 2026
My top five destinations for 2026 are up! There’s always so much to unpack about these “top destination” lists and how they often overlook the lesser-known places truly deserving of our attention. Still, if I had to narrow it down to my six standout destinations for 2026 chosen for their exciting new openings, projects, and upcoming events—these would be the ones. Many I’ve visited more than once, and I’d return to them again and again.
Soft light in Asilah
In a world that so often feels sped up, Asilah offers an antidote. It’s for those who travel not to be entertained, but to be transformed. When I think of Asilah, I think of space; the kind that opens up within you when you're somewhere that doesn’t need to prove itself. This is the quiet luxury everyone keeps touting about.
Best Bakeries in Paris
Paris is not the place to count calories, it’s where you surrender to the art of joie de vivre, especially when it comes to cake, bread, and pastries. No matter how many times you’ve been, Paris always manages to surprise you with something so exquisite, it sets a new standard and ruins all imitations for good. For your next visit, here’s your go-to list of the city’s finest patisseries, croissants, and tartes.
Portugal is Always a Good Idea
Portugal is a destination for all seasons, offering more than just beaches and wine. Up-and-coming spots like Comporta, Melides, and Madeira blend minimalist luxury with timeless charm, while Lisbon is evolving into a cultural hub with new museums and speakeasies. Read this story, as featured in Vogue.
Travel with Intention
A soulful conversation with Sofía Arista of The Happening on designing meaningful travel at this stage in my career, how to be intentional about luxury, and how experiences that leave a mark go far beyond trends or checklists.
What 500 Hotel Rooms Have Taught Me
To build trust with my valued partners and find the very best hotels for my travelers, I spend weeks out of the year conducting site inspections. I don’t just see the rooms but experience them through my clients’ eyes, testing every detail to ensure it’s a memorable stay. From quirky shower controls to noise-free mini fridges, I aim to provide the perfect recommendations based on real experience.
