Recommendations
London is full of AMAZING places to go and things to see, so it can be challenging to figure out where to start and what to prioritise 🇬🇧
And that’s where I’m here to help! 🤍
I’ve been living in London for 8+ years, know the city very well and often curate recommendations to help people have an amazing time in this fabulous city - and would love to do the same for you 😊
✨ HOW THIS WORKS:
- Select the number of recommendations you want in total (10, 25 or 40)
- Answer a few questions to share your travel preferences - including how many recs you want per category (e.g., hotels, restaurants)
- Receive a private web and mobile friendly Thatch Guide, made exclusively for you, by the delivery deadline
✨ BENEFITS FOR YOU:
- A great way to feel prepared for a trip without the nitty-gritty details of an itinerary
- Flexibility to customise your travel plan with these recommendations in mind
- Saves you hours of research
- Tailored to match your interests and travel style
- Crafted by a London enthusiast who knows the city very well
✨ WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
- Bespoke, high quality recommendations based on your preferences from categories like hotels (with booking links), restaurants, cafés, bars, museums or other indoor activities, walks, hikes and other outdoor activities
- Additional details and insights written by me on each
- Interactive map with pinned locations
Important to remember: the final output will NOT be an itinerary, so you may still need to do a little legwork to make this trip more structured if you want to!

ABOUT
Welcome to my page! 👋🏼
When I was 16, I packed my bags and left everything familiar I had ever known in my hometown of Toronto to move to Switzerland. That year away changed so much for me and had such a meaningful influence on my life, outlook and perspective.
And the travel bug has been with me ever since. So after visiting nearly 50 countries, living in four, and collecting 20 years worth of adventures, lessons and insights, I’m eager to channel all of that into helping others.
🗺️ What I’m great for: mature travelers, couples, solo wanderers and families who enjoy authentic experiences, great food and drinks, a mix of classic sights and off-the-beaten-track gems, and being outside.
🌍 What you can find here: guides, itineraries, lists and self-guided tours of London, UK, Europe and beyond. I’ve only chosen some of the places I’ve been recently so everything here is fresh and relevant.
🇬🇧 My specialty: London. I’ve lived here for over 9 years and have a hugeeee treasure trove of high-quality places, intel and advice so I focus my custom itinerary and curated recommendation services on only this city.
💁🏻♀️ Why trust me: my track record of delighted clients speaks for itself, reflected in the wonderful five-star reviews they’ve shared 🤍
📸 Follow me on IG (@awaywithalbs) for my latest adventures.
THANK YOU for being here! 🙏

Questions
