Small Group Travel for People with Taste
Boutique trips for people who care about the details.
Thoughtfully curated small-group journeys through England, Scotland & Ireland.
Everything is handled.
You have limited time.
We don't think you should spend it figuring out whether the charming hotel actually is charming.
So we do the research.
We know the properties, the restaurants; the routes.
We know which experiences are genuinely special and which ones are mostly marketing.
We plan carefully so that once you're there, you don't have to.
There is structure. There is flexibility. And there is always room for something unexpected.
Travel with a Point-of-View
There are a lot of ways to travel.
This is ours.
We choose places because they're beautiful, interesting, welcoming, delicious, unusual; special. Often simply because we think they're worth knowing or because they make us feel something. (Not because they’ve made some rando list on the internet.)
We care about quality, attention to detail, and food. (Always food.)
We deeply love the places we travel which is why we don’t go anywhere else.
We want you to meet the local chef, the farmer, the artist; the dog. We want to show you unique, one-of-a-kind people and places.
We want you heading home filled to the brim with joy and delight, thinking about your next trip (a common side effect…you’ve been warned.)
We’re not for everyone and that’s sort of the point.
What We Do
At Wander & Welcome, we design small group trips that feel like coming home.
Curated by someone who loves food, beauty, and this part of the world.
Each experience blends relaxed luxury, hidden-gem locations, and curation from someone whose job it is to be picky.
We offer two types of journeys:
-
Small group trips designed by and for women who crave beauty, depth, and ease.
These are our signature journeys, and how this whole thing started, thoughtfully curated for women who appreciate good taste, life-changing food, and the freedom to simply show up. Each trip includes 5–12 women and blends thoughtful travel with stylish comfort: boutique stays, intimate meals, soulful landscapes, and plenty of time to exhale.
There’s no itinerary overwhelm, no forced bonding, and no fuss. We handle the details so you can enjoy them.
-
Boutique group travel curated with the same signature Wander & Welcome touch.
These trips are open to anyone…solo travelers, couples, family, or friends…who values meaningful experiences, aesthetics, and un-fussy luxury.
You’ll join a like-minded group of 6–12 guests for an immersive journey that feels personal and curated, not touristic or overproduced. Each trip reflects the same sensibility as our ladies’ offerings: good taste, beautiful spaces, and a rhythm that honors presence over pace.

Want to book now?
Head to the Trips page and see what’s currently open.
There’s no waitlist panic or “act fast” energy here. You’re an adult. You’ll know if it’s a yes. If it’s not, that’s fine. Go microwave your coffee again and carry on.
However, as a reminder: Spots are limited (on purpose), and trips tend to fill fast so if something speaks to you, trust the tug.
3. Show Up and Actually Relax
Your only job? Show up.
We handle the details. You enjoy the details.
That’s it.
About Me
I’m Faith and I’m a woman with big hair and strong opinions.
I have thoughts about hotels, food, books, how things should be done; CHIPS AND SALSA. And, unfortunately for my husband, quite a few other things.
For years, I was the person friends called when they were going somewhere and wanted to know where I would stay, eat, wander, or shop. I loved finding the place that wasn't on everyone's list: the little hotel, the BAKERY (pastries fuel 75% of my travel decisions); the garden you'd never know was there.
I’ve loved the UK and Ireland for more than 20 years, and after a career in corporate events, I finally decided to make a business out of something I'd been doing for years anyway:
finding the good stuff.
I do the research. I make the decisions. I curate. I EDIT. I obsess over the details so you don't have to.
Most importantly, I want to show you things you wouldn't have found on your own.
Because you can find a thousand recommendations online. What you can't easily find is someone whose taste you trust.
That's what I hope Wander & Welcome becomes.
A trusted friend with good taste who says, “Come see what I’ve found.”
And it’s worth it.
