Big Thinking
No two Brown + Hudson travel experiences are alike, because each client and every brief is unique. We handcraft each journey meticulously starting from scratch.
The following ideas are a starting point; an expression of a more considered approach to original, meaningful and insightful bespoke travel.

Esoterica
Secrets known only to an initiated minority. We’ve long prioritised the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of travel and now we ask you to consider the ‘what’. What if you have a specialist, quirky or niche interest? Organ music in Germany, the lighting of Paris’ architecture, British comedy, reflexology in Singapore or even the global life-cycle of oil? You tell us what you’re into and we’ll apply our investigative, analytical and research skills to create a journey of discovery that will give you an unparalleled level of insight into your personal passion.

Journey with no destination
That's right. We won't tell you where you're going. We shift the emphasis from the “where” of travel to “why” and "how". You can focus on other things. Yourself for example. Or the outcome you have for your trip. Maybe increased mindfulness, grace or something else. We begin with an interview, then carefully select pre-departure meetings, and in-country visits and activities to deliver your outcome. You'll discover your destination when you get there.

The Lives of Others
For a richer more insightful experience, do everything except visit tourist sites. We'll invite you to a dinner party, introduce you to a local journalist or trendsetter, show you which neighbourhood coffee shop to hang out in and more. Everything except the obvious. Forget the guide book, pass on museums, dispense with the local guide. We have other ideas that will show you a place from a refreshingly different and human perspective.

Pop
The most successful creative travel professionals of the future will be gifted with a talent for creating magic from thin air. This is the principle behind POP, an ephemeral approach to events, happenings, magical, and often fantastical pop-up experiences and journeys.

European Fashion Odyssey
If someone published The World Atlas of Style, there would be stars flagging New York and Tokyo, of course, along with slightly smaller ones for up-and-comers like Sydney and São Paulo. Still, a flip of the pages would quickly reinforce what’s been true for the past century: Europe is the epicentre of world fashion.

Meta Travel
For years we’ve bought tickets, made reservations, and blindly followed guidebooks telling us what we should do without telling us why. No one has taught us how to get the most happiness, the richest memories, the greatest transformation, the deepest relaxation, the best stories from our travel.
