Working Together

How I work, and the care behind each journey

Alicia Wadsworth Founder The Wadsworth Edit

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Thoughtful curation, not simply booking

Each itinerary I design balances iconic destinations with lesser-known discoveries, and exceptional hotels with a strong sense of place. The intent is always the same: travel that feels effortless and quietly memorable.

WHO I WORK WITH

Designed around the way you travel

I work with travellers who value thoughtful detail, trusted recommendations and a seamless experience, couples, families and individuals seeking elevated travel, whether for a special occasion, a family holiday or a regular escape.

Some clients come to me for a single, beautifully chosen hotel; others for a fully designed, multi-destination journey. Each is approached with the same level of care, so that even the simplest trip feels well considered.

HOW I WORK

The process, from first idea to return home

01   Consultation

We begin with a conversation. I take the time to understand where you are dreaming of going, the way you like to travel, your pace, your priorities and the moments that matter most to you.

02   Design

I design a customised itinerary around those preferences, drawing on first-hand knowledge and trusted global partnerships to bring together exceptional places and experiences with a strong sense of where you are. I also consider the rhythm and flow of the journey, so that the days spent travelling feel part of the experience, and everything feels aligned from the moment you arrive.

03   Refine

We review the proposal together and refine it until every element feels aligned. The flow, the pace, the properties and the experiences within it.

04   Book

Once everything is confirmed, I manage the booking and coordination on your behalf, securing preferred partner benefits and attending to the logistics and finer details throughout.

05   Travel

From departure to your return home, I remain available and on hand. Should anything change along the way, you have someone quietly attending to it on your behalf, so that you are free simply to enjoy the experience, knowing the details are taken care of.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Bespoke travel planning

My signature service is fully tailored travel planning. Depending on the scope of your journey, this may include:

—    Ongoing support before and during your travels

 

THE VALUE OF WORKING TOGETHER

Privileged access and preferred benefits

As an affiliate of SmartFlyer Australia and a member of Virtuoso, an invitation-only network of the world’s leading travel providers, I am able to offer privileged access and preferred benefits at many of the finest hotels worldwide. Depending on the property, these may include room upgrades, daily breakfast, early check-in and late check-out, hotel credits and VIP recognition, benefits often not available when booking independently.

These same relationships open doors to places and experiences that rarely surface in an online search, and allow me to suggest options you might not have thought to look for. Before you arrive, I am often in touch with partners on the ground, so that you are expected and quietly looked after, rather than simply another booking.

A NOTE ON PLANNING FEES

Time, attention and care

To ensure every journey receives the attention it deserves, a planning fee applies according to the complexity and scope of your travel. This allows me to dedicate the time required to research, design and manage your itinerary in detail, and is always outlined clearly before we begin.

Full details can be found in my accompanying Fees, Terms & Conditions.

 

WELCOME

A note from me

Thank you for being here.

The most memorable journeys are rarely the result of chance. They are shaped by considered detail, trusted partnerships and a genuine love of travel.

The Wadsworth Edit was founded on that belief. Whether you are planning a quiet escape, a milestone celebration or a considered family holiday across several destinations, my role is to understand the way you like to travel and to design a journey that feels seamless, personal and entirely your own.

My intention is always to take the weight of planning off your shoulders — not to replace your own ideas, but to enhance them with the access, insight and relationships gathered over a career in travel. The result is a journey that feels considered and entirely yours, leaving you free to enjoy it rather than manage it.

This guide offers a little insight into how I work and the care behind each itinerary, from our first conversation through to your return home.

I would love to plan something memorable with you.
