Why We Travel
Travel further
travel deeper.
We travel to escape the ordinary, to chase experiences that make us feel alive, and to collect stories worth sharing. We travel to taste flavors we’ve never imagined, to get lost in stunning landscapes, and to let curiosity lead us to unexpected moments. Travel opens doors to new cultures, fresh perspectives, and connections that can spark lifelong friendships. We go because every journey adds depth to our lives, making the world feel both wider and closer. At its heart, travel is a blend of discovery, joy, and the thrill of stepping into something beautifully unknown.
Wandrist Travel is a travel agency of travelers for travelers. We specialize in curating itineraries that reflect each of our clients' unique tastes and aspirations. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or someone who prefers a bit more guidance, we approach every trip like a trusted friend, helping to shape whatever adventure you envision. With deep insights into both client preferences and destinations, every journey becomes a truly customized experience. Our concierge-level service manages all of the details, taking the stress out of travel and allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the joy of the journey.
Why Travel With Us
We don’t travel agent.
We travel design.
Think of us as that friend we all wish we had. You know the one — she reads and researches and tests everything, everywhere — from where locals go to get the freshest fish in Mallorca to which hotel has the perfect view of Parisian rooftops and the most comfortable bed. And not only does this friend gather all of this information, she shares it. That’s what we do, all day every day, and we take enormous pleasure in turning that research into expertly curated itineraries for all of our clients, no matter where they’re going. From simple weekend getaways to multi-week, multi-city tours, we work tirelessly to uncover extraordinary experiences and unique hotels that will ensure that every experience is designed just for you.
01
Travel, but make it stress-free.
Let’s face it: while travel fills our souls, allowing us to connect with the world in deep and meaningful ways, it can also be stressful AF. Where should we go? What should we do? How do we even get there? We’ve all been there, and sometimes the logistics of a trip can be enough to make you slam your laptop closed and get back into bed. Enter The Wandrist. We revel in the details that make you want to couch surf instead of kite surf, and our job is to turn your dream vacation into a reality, stress-free.
02
Every trip deserves to be extraordinary.
With decades of experience in editorial and lifestyle hospitality, we curate trips with unparalleled dedication to ensuring that our clients feel taken care of every step of the way. You’re leaving home, and even if it’s just for an overnight business trip, that’s a big deal. We know that, we appreciate that, and we make sure that every time you pack a bag, you have nothing less than an extraordinary experience.
03
You’re a vip. let’s make sure the world knows it.
Hotel perks. They’re a thing, and they aren’t available to people who use booking engines like booking.com or Expedia. They’re not even offered by hotels directly. The only way to get ‘em? You got it: book with us. With a HUGE network of preferred hotel partners (we’re talking thousands of hotels, here, people), we can guarantee things like hotel credits, room upgrades, early check-in / late check-out, and other free stuff you just can’t get any other way. And while that’s all really amazing, what’s even better is the fact that you’ll never be an anonymous guest again. As a client of ours, you’ll always be greeted and treated like the VIP you are, and you’ll even start to forge your own relationships with hotel staff, restaurant employees, and tour guides, all of which work to create a deeper connection to the places you’re visiting.
04
sometimes, you might need to phone a friend.
We hate to talk about it, but sometimes we hit some turbulence on a trip, and things might need some smoothing out. If a room isn’t quite what you imagined, a restaurant claims they can’t find your reservation, or you don’t see the car that’s supposed to pick you up, we’re here for you. Call us, and we’ll sort it for you. Remember what we said about you being a VIP?
We weren’t kidding.
Our Process
It’s Simple:
I plan, you relax.
Working with The Wandrist takes your travel to the next level. Yes, we will get you all of the hotel perks and amenities you could ever want, but more than that, our passion for creating bespoke and authentic experiences will spark your curiosity and allow you to truly journey well beyond the ordinary.
