Think of it as your custom roadmap to the best vintage hunting travel experience without the tour group or rigid schedule. A self guided itinerary is a personalized plan I create just for you, based on where you're going, when, what you love and how you like to travel. It includes handpicked brocantes, antique shops, charming cafés, local markets and other gems, mapped out day by day, so you can explore at your own pace with zero guesswork.

This is made for vintage lovers who want to travel like a local, not a tourist. It’s for you if you dream of hunting for treasures in tucked-away towns, finding that perfect cafe between shops and skipping the overwhelm of planning it all yourself. Whether you’re a seasoned brocanteur or just dipping your toes into the vintage world, this itinerary gives you the freedom to explore with a trusted guide (hi, that’s me) doing the behind-the-scenes legwork. Ideal for solo travellers, sourcing trips, vintage-curious couples or anyone who’d rather wander with purpose than waste time Googling “best flea markets near me” on the fly.

Step 1: Tell Me Your Travel Plans
After you book, you’ll receive an intake form to share your trip details, interests and must-sees. (Don’t worry, you don't have to have it all figured out.)

Step 2: We'll Have a Personal Consultation
We’ll hop on a quick call to dive deeper into your style, goals and what will make your trip unforgettable.

Step 3: I Build Your Personalized Itinerary
You’ll receive a fully curated, detailed itinerary, tailored to your travel dates, interests and pace. A guide filled with recommendations for events, antique shops, artisan boutiques, markets, cafés, restaurants and vintage-friendly adventures.
(Plus practical advice to make every day easy and enjoyable.)

This is not a one-size-fits-all guide pulled from Google.
It’s your custom blueprint for vintage treasure hunting, market hopping and living, crafted with care and packed with personal touches.

How personalized is the itinerary?
Very. I don’t believe in copy-paste travel plans. Each itinerary is built from scratch based on your travel dates, destination, style, vintage preferences, pace and priorities. It’s as if I handed you my own annotated map minus me tagging along.

Can I choose the location?
Yes! I currently offer itineraries for France and the UK. Popular spots include Paris, Provence and English countryside regions with antique-rich charm. If you’re unsure where to go, I can help you decide based on your goals and timeline.

What exactly do I get?
You’ll receive a beautifully formatted PDF itinerary with a daily plan, local tips, event schedules (if applicable), food + coffee stops and practical info like market hours and shop addresses.

Is this a guided trip or tour?
Nope, this is fully self-guided. I’m not there with you (though I’m cheering you on from afar). You’ll have everything you need to explore confidently on your own or with a travel companion.

How much notice do you need?
Ideally the more time the better, as a great itinerary takes time, approximately 20 hours of work! It takes time to build something thoughtful. That said, I occasionally take last-minute requests if my schedule allows, so reach out and ask!

I’m not a vintage dealer, so will this still be useful?
Absolutely. These itineraries are for anyone who wants to explore charming shops, stylish finds and one-of-a-kind places, whether you're sourcing inventory or just love the thrill of the hunt.

Do you offer longer itineraries?
Yes. Just reach out for additional information.
