A NOTE FROM HAYDEN
My notes from
the world of travel.
I’m Hayden, a travel advisor with a lot of notes. The Short List is my journal: a place to share what I’m learning, the places I’m discovering and the people behind them.
Think of it as a look behind the scenes, from a particular room at a hotel to the way an expedition actually works. I write about the details I find interesting and useful, in the hope that you will too.
It’s a personal selection, shaped by what draws me in: great hotels, wild places and a sense of adventure. Have a look around. You might find your kind of travel.
And if your next trip looks a little different, I’d still love to hear about it.
THE WILD LUXURY COLLECTION
A little further
from the ordinary.
African safaris, expedition voyages and extraordinary stays in the wild. For travelers who want more than a beautiful room.
Expedition cruises
For the wildlife, the landscapes and people who don’t think they’re cruise people.
PERSONALLY HANDLED HOTEL BOOKINGS
You can’t
VIP yourself.
A great stay deserves more than a confirmation email. I’ll help with the room and reservation, share what matters to you with the hotel, and check any preferred benefits available for your stay.
And I’m still your person after you book. A special request, a change of plans or something that needs sorting out? Get in touch. I’ll work with the hotel on your behalf.
Already know where you want to stay? Send it over.
Hotel-only reservations have no planning fee. Need recommendations? The personal Hotel Short List is $50.
Benefits vary by property, rate, program and availability.

How to Choose a Luxury African Safari
Choosing your first luxury African safari? Start with six questions about guiding, season, destination, lodge style, family fit, and planning.
In your corner.
Every step of the way.
Hotels, guides, experiences and the details in between. I’ll bring the trip together and stay involved until you’re home.
Private Planning begins at $300.
I take on a limited number of trips so I can stay personally involved. A rough idea is plenty to start.
A NOTE FROM HAYDEN
Please bother me.
A trip idea, a hotel you’re curious about, or a question you’ve been meaning to ask. You don’t need a finished plan to get in touch. I’m happy to set up a free consultation and talk it through.
