Luisa Armandine

Travel Designer

My passion for travel stems from early on. Having grown up in London to French and Mauritian parents, I truly value being immersed in a world of rich cultural diversity. This led me to study French Literature and Italian at university and I have since been lucky enough to live in France, Italy and the UK.

Having frequently embarked on trips overseas growing up, I am always excited to plan my next adventure, or revisit beloved destinations with fresh eyes – whether here in Europe, or across the globe! Nothing makes me happier than trying delicious traditional cuisines, chatting with warm locals, learning about a place’s history and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. 

Europe is a rich tapestry of diverse landscapes, people and traditions, offering a unique adventure for all. I am passionate about curating tailored and unforgettable experiences, sharing the many gems that this continent has to offer. Let’s bring your next adventure to life!

Europe

My most memorable trip

Croatia

Exploring the Northern parts and islands of Croatia has been a real highlight - I adore discovering authentic, more off the beaten path locations. I cruised and hiked through breathtaking national parks, delved into rich local history, island-hopped, and indulged in plenty of the delicious olive oils, wine and truffle that Croatia is renowned for! I cannot rave about this country enough - it also combines perfectly with nearby trips to its neighbours, Slovenia, Montenegro & Northern Italy.

Best destination for families

Greece

A fantastic destination for families would be Greece, both mainland and its islands. This diverse country truly has something for everyone; incredible history and archaeological sites, delicious Mediterranean cuisine, fun and active outdoor excursions, breathtaking beaches and coves to explore - the list goes on! It can be as active or as relaxed as you want it to be, with destinations and experiences that all ages can enjoy.
