Patricia Dominicini Almeida
Founder & director
London, UK
Founded Go Next Global in 2026 after a decade of writing long, opinionated emails to friends about where to go. Reads every enquiry that comes through.
The studio
Bespoke trips, designed by people who live where you are going.
A small studio in Covent Garden. A network of vetted local planners. Eight countries we know first-hand — and one short conversation between you and any of them.
A note from the studio
We do not collect countries. We would rather know one valley deeply — and trust the planner who lives there to show you which.
London
How it began
It started quietly.
For years, friends would ask us where to eat in Tokyo, where to stay in Marrakech, which valleys to drive through in Patagonia. We would write back with long, considered answers — paragraph after paragraph of opinionated suggestions, drawn from people we trusted on the ground.
By the spring of 2026, the answers had started to look like itineraries. We had quietly built a network of local planners — chefs, former hoteliers, second-generation guides — who knew their countries the way only someone who lives there can.
Go Next Global Ltd was incorporated on 30 March 2026 to formalise the network. The studio is in Covent Garden. The actual trips are shaped wherever you are going.
Studio & leadership
Six of us in Covent Garden, and a door that is usually open.
Our small London headquarters — designers, concierge, operations. Together we read every enquiry, brief every planner, and follow every trip from first call to safe landing.
Naomi Clarke
Head of trip design
London, UK
Twelve years at a London tour operator before us. Brings every itinerary to a final draft and stress-tests the small details before you see it.
Elliot Tan
Head of concierge
London, UK
Runs the 24/7 concierge desk while travellers are on the ground. Former private-client manager at a hotel group. Calm in a crisis.
Frances Doyle
Head of operations
London, UK
Makes sure planners are paid on time, suppliers are vetted, and the company keeps its promises. Everything quiet about Go Next Global is partly her doing.
Karim Belhaj
Partnerships lead
London, UK
Visits every new lodge, riad and ryokan we recommend, in person, before it appears on an itinerary. Has eaten more breakfasts in Tuscany than is strictly reasonable.
Cora Whitfield
Editorial & the journal
London, UK
Edits the field notes our planners send back from the road. Quietly responsible for most sentences on this site that make you stop scrolling.
Our purpose
To send travellers somewhere they could not have found alone.
Every trip we design is, in some small way, an introduction — to a chef, a valley, a tea master, a fishing village at the end of a road. The point is not to see the world. The point is to meet a part of it.
What we hold to
Three things we will not compromise on.
01
Slowly, not faster.
Coverage is overrated. We design trips that go deep into one country at a comfortable pace — long lunches, second nights, days with no plan. The travellers who leave happiest are the ones who did not try to see everything.
02
Personally, not at scale.
Every planner is interviewed and trusted by us, individually. Every itinerary is shaped from your brief — there are no template trips and no copy-paste days. A real human reads every enquiry that comes through.
03
Honestly, not flashy.
One flat design fee, quoted up front. No hidden commissions on bookings, no upsell pressure, and no recommendation we would not make to a friend. If we do not think a trip is right for you, we will tell you.
How a trip comes together
Four steps. No pressure.
i
A short note to us.
Tell us where you have always meant to go and roughly when. Anything else you want us to know — anniversary, dietary needs, dream lodgings — helps.
ii
A fifteen-minute conversation.
A real human — usually one of us — calls you. We confirm the brief, agree on a fit, and quote a flat design fee. Free of charge, no commitment.
iii
A planner who lives there.
We match you with the right person on the ground. Within a few days you receive a draft itinerary written for you, not lifted from a brochure.
iv
Refinement, then booking.
We refine until it is right. Only then do you commit to a deposit. From there our concierge desk holds your hand from departure to safe landing.
Ready when you are
Tell us where you have always meant to go.
A short conversation with a real human. Then a planner who lives there. Then a trip you will talk about for years.
