Karen Landes

For me, travel is about deepening connections — whether it’s through tasting local flavors on a food tour, wandering through art museums or getting lost in the charm of a new city. I love the excitement of discovering a place on foot, navigating its public transport system (even if it's in a completely new language!) and connecting with locals to gain a true understanding of the culture. My travels aren’t about checking off a list of tourist spots; they’re about immersing myself in the everyday life of a destination. I seek out authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences that give me a genuine sense of a place — whether that's chatting with a vendor at a local market or enjoying a quiet afternoon in a hidden café.

I specialize in curating thoughtful, slower-paced trips that allow you to not just visit, but truly experience the destinations you’re traveling to. I believe travel should be about soaking in the moments and savoring the details, whether you're strolling through an art gallery or savoring a dish you've never tried before. Let me help you craft a journey that feels like more than just a trip — it’s a chance to connect with the world in a deeper way.
