here's mine.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where wanderlust leads the way. Travel has always been something I cherish — it never fails to shift my perspective. Some trips were glamorous, most were messy, all of them changed me. If you've been thinking about going somewhere, I'd love to help you actually go.

the hotel hotlist
Places I'm dreaming about — and where I'm sending people next.✦✦✦✦✦✦✧✦
Some I've stayed in, some I'm manifesting. I'll get you room upgrades, free breakfast, spa credits, and late checkout — perks you won't find booking on your own.
Italy

Positano, Italy
The pink palazzo. The view that ends arguments about where to go in Italy.
Fora preferred
Italy

$100 spa or dining credit
Dubai
Burj Al Arab
Dubai, UAE
The sail. The gold. The most over-the-top hotel on earth. Worth it once.
Fora preferred
Dubai
Burj Al Arab
Dubai, UAE
The world's most iconic hotel isn't subtle and it doesn't try to be. Gold everything, butler on every floor, underwater restaurant, helipad tennis court. Nothing compares — you have to do it at least once.
Fora perks
Rolls Royce airport transfer
Personal butler service
$100 in-hotel dining credit
Mexico
Azulik
Tulum, Mexico
No screens. No AC. Treehouses over the jungle. It's an experience, not just a hotel.
On my list
Mexico

Ireland
Ashford Castle
County Mayo, Ireland
An actual 13th-century castle on Lough Corrib. Falconry for breakfast, dinner in the turret.
Fora preferred
Ireland
Ashford Castle
County Mayo, Ireland
This isn't castle-themed — it's an actual 800-year-old castle you sleep in. Falconry school, clay pigeon shooting, rowing on the lough, and a cigar bar that makes no apologies. Total bucket list property.
Fora perks
Room upgrade on arrival
Afternoon tea for two
Access to castle grounds & activities
Caribbean
Jade Mountain
St. Lucia
No fourth wall. The Pitons in your room. The Caribbean in your infinity pool.
Fora preferred
Caribbean
Jade Mountain

Fora perks
Room upgrade at booking
Daily breakfast included
$100 resort credit
Italy
Aman Venice
Venice, Italy
A 16th-century Grand Canal palazzo. Arrive by private boat. No crowds — just Venice.

Bali, Indonesia
Handcrafted everything. Art installations in every corner. Bali but make it a museum.
On my list

Why I want to go

Sister to Joali Maldives
Italy
Forestis Dolomites
South Tyrol, Italy

Local art & Bolivian craft focus
Off the beaten luxury path

Rooms Hotel Kazbegi
Kazbegi, Georgia
Gergeti Trinity Church out the window. The most dramatic mountain backdrop in any hotel ever.
On my list
Georgia
Rooms Hotel Kazbegi
Kazbegi, Georgia

Soviet-chic design done right
Georgia is criminally underrated

Each suite a unique art installation
Arctic Circle northern lights
Greece
Katikies Kirini
Santorini, Greece
Infinity pool into the caldera. The photo everyone has — but staying there is different.

Aurora borealis season
India
The Oberoi

Tiny, perfect Parisian boutique near the Tuileries. Garden suite. Spa. Zero tourists.
On my list
France
Le Roch Hotel & Spa
Paris, France
37 rooms in the 1st arrondissement near the Tuileries. The antidote to Paris's grand hotels — lush garden, proper spa, and service that actually feels personal. The Paris that Parisians keep to themselves.

about me
the girl behind the plan.✦✦✦✦✦✦✧✦
hello world,
i'm avanti. i'm the friend who plans travel for others but goes with the wind when it comes to her own. i cry at good sunsets, talk in philosophy, and will befriend a neighborhood pet wherever i go.
i overthink my creative projects, i under-pack for every climate, and my videography skills are embarrassing every passing year.
i started this because i love the puzzle of it — matching a person with a place that just works. the beauty is sometimes where you weren't looking.
— avanti
