Let's Create

For artists, writers, designers, and deep thinkers, travel is more than a getaway—it’s fuel. Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of Van Gogh through Arles, exploring Scandinavian ceramic studios in Copenhagen, or attending a private literary workshop in Mexico City, we craft experiences that connect you to the heart of a place through its culture, history, and creative pulse.

Examples of Experiences:
✔ Private art studio visits & gallery tours with local curators
✔ Literary & creative workshops in inspiring destinations
✔ Behind-the-scenes access to architectural landmarks
✔ Immersive dining experiences with chefs and artisans

Investment:

Custom pricing based on trip details.

Creative & Cultural Immersion

Travel as a wellspring of inspiration.

Unlike traditional group tours, our exclusive journeys are designed for those seeking a shared, yet highly personalized experience. Whether you’re joining a boutique group led by Leslie or partnering with Palmer Studio to curate a trip for your own audience, these experiences offer depth, access, and community in ways that solo travel simply cannot.

Ways to Experience a Group Journey:
✔ Join a Palmer Studio-Led Trip – Thoughtfully designed, small-group journeys that prioritize connection, creativity, and immersive exploration.
✔ Host Your Own Travel Experience – Whether you're a writer, chef, or creative leader, we help design and manage a group experience tailored to your expertise and audience.

how we work

Our Travel Design Process

DISCOVERY

We begin with a conversation—getting to know you, your travel vision, and what you seek from the experience. If it’s a mutual fit, we’ll send a proposal outlining our planning services.

TAILORED
ITINERARY DESIGN

After a deep-dive discovery call (all members of your travel party are invited & encouraged to attend), we then craft your custom itinerary. It’s designed to reflect your ideal pace, interests, and experiences. You’ll receive up to three rounds of itinerary revisions to ensure every detail is aligned.

TRAVEL, FULLY SUPPORTED

TRAVEL, FULLY SUPPORTED

From the moment you depart to the time you return, we handle the details so you can be fully present—including a fully digital itinerary, 24/7 in-destination support, and access to our trusted global partners.

REFLECT & INTEGRATE

Your journey doesn’t end when you return home. We’ll check in post-trip to explore what resonated most and how you can carry that inspiration forward—whether integrating newfound perspectives or shaping your next adventure.

REFLECT & INTEGRATE

Working with Leslie was a joy! She handled every detail and made our multi-destination trip seamless and special. I would recommend Leslie to anyone traveling to the destinations that are her areas of expertise!

Leslie was so helpful planning our trip to Mexico. Not only does her passion and excitement for travel make the whole process easy and fun, she was able to work within some difficult constraints with our dietary restrictions and found an incredible place for us to stay. Booking transportation and everything through her made the whole thing so easy and gave us peace of mind leading up to, and through the whole trip.

- WILLIAM F.

We highly recommend Leslie Brindley for your travel needs! She took the time to get to know us as a family and learned about our interests, likes & dislikes pertaining to travel. We challenged her with a complicated itinerary which she designed beautifully. We enjoyed a variety of activities as well as some much needed built-in leisure time during our 2 week trip. Our college-age sons enjoyed the activities and also had time to explore on their own. We will definitely hire Leslie again for our future travels!
