YOUR HOLIDAY.

DESIGNED AROUND YOU.

You know the holiday you want. You just need help planning it and making it work.

Perhaps you already know exactly where you want to go.

Perhaps you only know how you want your holiday to feel.

Or perhaps you have a list of places, dates and ideas, but aren’t quite sure how to make them all fit together.

Wherever you’re starting from, a Travel Designer can help you explore the possibilities and turn those ideas into a journey that works.

Have a trip in mind? Even a rough idea is a good place to start.

Does This Sound Familiar?

You know where you want to go. But not how to put it all together.

You already have the cities on your list. Maybe you’ve even shortlisted a few hotels and experiences.

But then come the questions.

Which direction should you travel? How many nights should you spend in each place? Train, flight, car or private transfer? Is that connection realistic? Are you trying to squeeze too much into 10 days?

Individually, the pieces look fine.

Making them work together as one seamless journey is where Travel Design makes the difference.

You know what you want. But not necessarily where to find it.

Maybe you have 10 days in November.

You want spectacular scenery, charming towns, wonderful food and hands-on experiences. You know what you enjoy and what you would rather avoid.

But where should you go?

Switzerland? Japan? The Nordics? Somewhere in Europe you haven’t considered?

You don’t need to spend weeks researching twenty destinations before deciding.

Tell me what you’re looking for. I can show you the possibilities, help you compare the options and work out what makes the most sense for you.

You want to slow down. But you don't want to do nothing.

Perhaps this holiday is about spending proper time together as a couple or reconnecting as a family.

You don’t want to race through a sightseeing checklist from morning until night.

But seven days beside a swimming pool isn’t quite your idea of a holiday either.

There is a lot of space between doing everything and doing nothing.

A well-designed journey finds that balance, with meaningful experiences and things you genuinely enjoy doing, while leaving enough room to simply enjoy being away together.

Bringing It All Together

You bring the things you already know. I help fill in the gaps.

Your dates. Your ideas. The places you’ve been dreaming about. The things you love. The things you absolutely don’t want.

I bring destination knowledge, routing experience, logistics and more than a decade of Travel Design experience to turn those pieces into a journey.

And sometimes good Travel Design means saying:

Stay here instead.
Take that place out.
Give yourselves another night here.

Because every decision should serve one purpose:

Creating the right holiday for the people taking it.

Meet Your Travel Designer

Hi, I'm Best.

I’m the Chief Travel Designer behind Epic Travel Designer, and I’ve been designing private journeys for more than a decade.

Before travel, I spent 10 years in IT, which probably explains why I enjoy solving complicated routes and logistics rather more than a normal person should.

But good Travel Design isn’t only about making the logistics work. It’s about understanding what makes a journey right for the people taking it.

I travel extensively myself because there are things a map, timetable or Google search simply can’t tell you. The difference between what looks good on paper and what actually works on the ground.

Good Travel Design is part knowledge, part experience and a lot of judgement.

What Does Travel Design Look Like in Real Life?

Three journeys. Three very different design challenges.

Switzerland

They wanted Interlaken. But was it the right place to stay?

For a couple travelling through Switzerland, Interlaken seemed like the obvious base for exploring the Bernese Oberland.

And on paper, it made perfect sense.

But understanding how they wanted to experience Switzerland changed the recommendation.

Instead of staying amid the bustle of Interlaken, I recommended Wengen, a car-free mountain village reached by train.

It meant waking up surrounded by mountains, taking quiet evening walks after the day-trippers had left and enjoying the landscape as part of everyday life, rather than travelling out to see it each morning.

Interlaken wasn’t a bad choice.

It simply wasn’t the right choice for these travellers.

That’s the difference between asking “Where does everyone stay?” and “Where should you stay?”

Japan

Three generations. Different needs. One journey that had to work for everyone.

For one family journey through Kyushu, the group included youngsters, adults and seniors, with mobility considerations and different dietary requirements.

Distances, transport, hotel locations, the pace of each day and how easily everyone could participate all influenced the design.

But designing for a multi-generational family doesn’t mean everyone has to do everything together.

Each generation had experiences designed around the things they enjoyed, while other activities brought everyone back together as a family.

Picking strawberries together. Taking a scenic train journey. Sharing experiences that everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, could enjoy.

The journey needed space for individual interests and shared family memories.

Because a family holiday isn’t about making everyone follow exactly the same itinerary.

It’s about designing a journey that works for everyone.

THE BALKANS + GERMANY

The destinations were easy. Making them work together wasn't.

This time, the traveller was me.

I knew I wanted to travel through Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina, chase the autumn colours, and eventually make my way to Germany for my flight back to Singapore.

With little time to plan and multiple borders to cross, I made an early design decision:

This journey would be designed around a combination of public transport and strategically placed private transfers.

In some parts of the Balkans, having a car can actually become more of a burden than an advantage.

Then came the real puzzle.

Which direction made the most sense? Which towns connected naturally? Where would a private transfer save considerable time over public transport? Which places deserved more nights? And how could the Balkans eventually connect with Germany without backtracking?

The challenge wasn’t deciding where I wanted to go.

It was turning all those places into one journey that actually worked.

That’s the same thinking I bring to my clients’ journeys.

A great multi-destination trip shouldn’t feel like several separate holidays stitched together.

It should feel like one journey from beginning to end.

What Are You Trying to Figure Out?

Perhaps you’ve already shortlisted five cities and can’t make the routing work.

Perhaps you know what you want from your holiday, but haven’t decided where to find it.

Or perhaps you simply have your dates and want to understand what’s possible.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before we start.

Tell me what you’re thinking about, even if it’s only a rough idea.
