What if your next journey was designed not just around where you want to go, but around how you want to feel?
Using my Reset Method, I craft thoughtful, personalised itineraries that give you permission to slow down, reconnect, and return home feeling like yourself again.
You’ve tried luxury travel. You’re still exhausted.
You spent £10,000 on a “dream vacation” and returned needing another vacation. The five-star hotel was impeccable. The itinerary was packed. The photos were perfect. But you felt rushed, overstimulated, and somehow… empty.
Here’s why: traditional luxury travel focuses on WHERE you go and WHAT you see. It doesn’t address HOW you want to feel and WHAT you need to return with.
Restoration isn’t about the thread count of your sheets. It’s about psychological matching, intentional pacing, and thoughtful journey design.
You don’t need another vacation. You need a Reset Journey.
Your needs & intentions
Right place, right pace
Thoughtful trip curation
Feel ready & supported
Carry the feeling home
After more than a decade managing hospitality projects for brands like Marriott, Ritz-Carlton and Jumeirah across Europe and the Middle East, and five years as a travel writer deeply immersed in culture and mindful living, I developed a way of designing travel that goes far beyond planning.
The RESET Journeys Method is a signature five-phase framework that treats travel as a restorative, personal journey.
Every phase is crafted with intention: to bring ease, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection to the places you explore and to yourself.
This is travel designed with purpose and precision.
A considered, holistic approach that blends editorial insight, cultural understanding, and a luxury service mindset to create journeys that feel grounding, nourishing, and entirely your own.
For confident travellers who already know their destination and want expert guidance . Doesn’t include a full itinerary or specific curated recommendations.

I’m Ibtissam, a travel writer and founder of RESET Journeys.
I know the feeling of returning from a “luxury holiday” more drained than when you left. I’ve been on those beautiful trips: the stunning hotels, the perfectly curated itineraries, the postcard moments — and yet, something essential was still missing.
Reset Journeys was created to bridge that gap.
With 12 years of experience working alongside hospitality brands, I understand how premium travel is built behind the scenes and how it’s often marketed in ways that overlook what travellers actually need. As a multilingual travel writer, I bring cultural fluency, access, and first-hand destination knowledge to every journey I create.
Through the Reset Journeys framework, I design travel around you: your pace, your energy, your personal definition of restoration.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, inspiration, or simply permission to slow down, I’d be honoured to design a journey that feels intentional, meaningful, and entirely your own.

I’m Ibtissam, travel writer and mindful explorer. Travel has always been part of my life, but it was my solo journeys that changed the way I see the world and myself. Exploring on my own taught me to slow down and gave me the confidence to navigate unfamiliar streets, try experiences I wouldn’t normally go for and genuinely enjoy my own company.
Now, I help others experience that same sense of independence and self-connection through RESET Journeys— thoughtfully designed solo trips that balance ease, comfort, and memorable experiences.
RESET is for independent travellers who want more than just a holiday. Whether you’re travelling solo, with a partner, or taking time away from a busy life, each journey is designed to feel personal, effortless, and restorative.
It’s for those who crave authentic experiences without the overwhelm; travellers who value cultural depth, local connection, and the freedom to explore at their own pace, knowing every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
Traditional itineraries often feel packed and impersonal. RESET is a service rooted in mindfulness and individuality. A RESET journey is designed around you — your pace, your preferences, your personality. Using my RESET Framework (Recharge, Elevate, Simplify, Experience, Thrive), I create trips that give you time to pause, enjoy meaningful moments, and return home refreshed. It’s less about ticking boxes and more about creating space for yourself.
Absolutely! RESET is especially suited for first-time solo travellers. I make sure every element feels safe and welcoming: trusted hotels, smooth transfers, solo-friendly dining, and activities you’ll genuinely enjoy on your own. The details are simplified for you, so your energy goes into enjoying the trip, not organising it.
At the moment, I focus on European destinations, places I’ve personally explored or built trusted partnerships in. This ensures every recommendation is grounded in real experience and authentic connection.
As RESET continues to grow, I’m expanding my network of partners globally. If you have a destination outside Europe in mind, I still encourage you to reach out, I may be able to design your trip in collaboration with one of my global contacts or guide you toward the best approach.
Not currently. RESET Journeys focuses on designing your personalized itinerary—the route, accommodations, activities, and recommendations. You handle the bookings yourself using the detailed information I provide, which gives you flexibility and control. However, I'm exploring partnerships to offer full booking services in the future. If this interests you, let me know when you inquire!
Your RESET itinerary is designed to feel perfectly you, so adjustments are part of the process.
