About

We design travel for people who care about the details but don’t have time to sweat them. We start with the hotel—always—and build trips to meet your lifestyle needs, whether you're seeking rest, inspiration, memories with loved ones, community, or simply fun. It's beyond travel management, it's lifestyle management. The perks, priority access, and room upgrades we secure are just the icing on the cake for our travelers.

OUR NORTH STAR

At Good Trips, we want to show the profound and positive impact travel can have on lives, rooted in the belief that to explore is to enrich. Not just ourselves, but the world.

WHO YOU ARE

Our clients don't fit into one box, but there are some characteristics they tend to share. Our travelers are thoughtful. They are curious. They are design lovers. They are collaborators. They are often entrepreneurs, executives, parents (but not always!), busy with work and life. And they have a passion for maximizing their moments and experiences.

what we believe

Travel transcends mere escapism, serving as a catalyst for wellness, growth, and personal development, while fostering compassion and broadening perspectives. Whether it’s a different neighborhood in your city or a destination seas away, we believe in the transformative power of leaving your day-to-day every once in a while to experience what the world has to offer.

DOING IT BETTER

Our commitment to responsible travel comes from a deep care for people. While it has become trnedy, it's always been a part of our ethos and every decision we make. We aim to support local economies, honor cultural heritage, and minimize our environmental footprint, striving for a world that's better for both hosts and visitors.

BEHIND THE SCENES

I'm Katy, the founder of Good Trips—but there’s a lot of we behind the scenes, thanks to a crew of thoughtful collaborators, value-aligned peers, and a global network of trusted partners. Together, we see travel as a way to bring change, creativity, joy, and connection into your life.

My background in wellness and design—and a career balancing creativity with high-performance work—helps me understand what clients need, even when they’re unsure how to articulate it. After years of building trusted relationships in the travel industry, my clients are often welcomed to their hotels like longtime friends. Most come to us for the trip. What they remember most? The stay.
