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.
Our team
A small studio, and the people who design on the ground.
A handful of us in London. A vetted planner in each country we cover. A concierge desk that follows the sun. The team is small on purpose — small enough that the person reading your enquiry is the person who will see your trip through.
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.
Every planner on this list has been on the ground with one of us, in their country. We do not add planners we have not met.
Planners on the ground
A planner in each country we cover.
Born or rooted there. Vetted personally by us. Each one was a chef, a former hotelier, a guide or a journalist before becoming a Go Next Global planner.
Sakura Tanaka
Japan planner
Kyoto, Japan
Born in Uji, lives in Higashiyama. Designs Kyoto trips slowly, the way the city rewards. Writes the Kyoto field notes for our journal.
Lorenzo Bellini
Italy planner
Florence, Italy
Third-generation Tuscan and former sommelier. Knows which nonna in which back-road village will let you into her kitchen on a Sunday.
Linh Nguyen
Vietnam planner
Hoi An, Vietnam
Grew up between Hanoi and the Mekong Delta. Designs trips with the rhythm of the country in mind — north for mist, centre for craft, south for food.
Yasmin Idrissi
Morocco planner
Marrakech, Morocco
Born in Fez, lives in the Marrakech medina. Knows the riad we keep almost to ourselves — and the family that has run it for three generations.
Mateo Rossi
Patagonia planner
Bariloche, Argentina
Spent fifteen years guiding in Torres del Paine before joining us. Refuses to over-pack a Patagonia schedule. The wind, he says, does enough.
Sigrún Arnarsdóttir
Iceland planner
Reykjavík, Iceland
Grew up in Ísafjörður. Pulls travellers off the Ring Road and into the Westfjords by day three. Knows the hot springs nobody has named on the internet.
Daniel Kimathi
Kenya & Tanzania planner
Nairobi, Kenya
Former bush pilot turned safari designer. Builds trips around the small, owner-run conservancy camps where the vehicles are private and the drives are long.
Camille Laurent
France planner
Paris, France
Born in Aix-en-Provence, lives in the Marais. Former restaurant critic who plans France the way the French live it — a market morning, a two-hour lunch, nothing rushed.
Concierge desk
Three people, three time zones, one phone number.
Travellers on a Go Next Global trip travel with a single number. We staff it across time zones so a real human picks up, in your language, at any hour.
Hana Kim
Asia desk
Seoul, South Korea
Covers Asia and Oceania concierge hours. Worked at a Tokyo five-star for nine years. Speaks Korean, Japanese and English.
Lucia Romano
Europe desk
Rome, Italy
Covers Europe, Middle East and Africa concierge hours. Speaks Italian, English and French. Has personally re-routed three honeymoons mid-trip.
Amir Hassan
Americas desk
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Covers the Americas concierge hours. Former luxury cruise concierge. Speaks Spanish, English and Portuguese. Knows every airline’s good supervisor.
