Her journey from hotel management to travel advising has uniquely positioned her as a trusted expert who understands every facet of the travel industry—from behind-the-scenes operations to crafting seamless client experiences.
From Hotel Management to Travel Expertise
Landi’s professional journey began at the ground level of hospitality. Working her way up from a cleaner, waiter, and bar worker to the general manager of some of the world’s most luxurious lodges and resorts, Landi developed an intimate understanding of what makes a destination extraordinary. This experience has shaped her current work as a travel advisor, where her deep knowledge of luxury destinations and personal connections with industry insiders allows her to offer experiences unavailable to the average traveler.
Her transition into travel advising wasn’t just a career change—it was a passion project. Landi thrives on planning meticulously detailed trips for her clients, ensuring every journey has personal touches. Her ability to transform a simple vacation into an unforgettable adventure has earned her a spot among the 15 Leading Travel Experts on MSN Travel.
A Personalized Approach to Every Journey
What sets Landi apart from large agencies and automated platforms is her dedication to creating customized experiences based on her client’s unique needs and desires. She builds genuine relationships with her clients, learning about their preferences, interests, and family dynamics to craft unique itineraries. Whether booking a private villa with exclusive amenities or arranging a secret library tour for a young book enthusiast, Landi’s attention to detail is unmatched.
Her love for travel began at 18 with her first solo adventure, and since then, she has traveled extensively, living in diverse countries like South Africa, Botswana, and Fiji. Her firsthand experiences give her the ability to provide clients with authentic insights and recommendations, ensuring that every trip she plans reflects the beauty and culture of each destination.
Crafting Memories that Last a Lifetime
For Landi, luxury travel is not just about five-star accommodations or exclusive access. It’s about creating meaningful, stress-free experiences where families and couples can make lasting memories. By handling all the logistics—flights, accommodations, activities—she lets her clients focus on what matters most: enjoying their time together.
Her work is grounded in the belief that travel is a way to show care, warmth, and kindness. From the moment clients step off the plane, they can expect to be treated with the same level of attention that Landi has cultivated over her decades in hospitality.
Looking Ahead: A Future Focused on Personalized Service
As travel continues to evolve, Landi is committed to maintaining the personal connection that makes her services unique. She constantly adapts to new trends and regulations to ensure her clients’ safety and satisfaction.
