Meet Lynai, Your Purposeful Luxury Travel Advisor
After 13 years as a registered nurse, I saw how often women, caregivers, and leaders waited until burnout to finally take a break.
I created ThetravelingTrendie to change that. I design intentional journeys across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Caribbean that combine comfort, culture, and community. Every itinerary is built with the same attention to detail I brought to patient care, from safety and pacing to the emotional impact of your experience.
Whether you are planning a once in a lifetime safari, a couples escape, or a women’s retreat, you deserve a trip that feels true to you, not something copied from a search engine.

Reviews
Trusted By Travelers Who Want More Than Just A Vacation
The booking experience was great. Lynai provided multiple options and we chose based on our budget at the time. She also went above and beyond to find activities in the area we could check out.
Moe B.
Lynai is professional, responsive, and helpful. We had a wonderful time on the trip she arranged for us. She booked a lovely, centrally located hotel with a view of the city and meals. She also booked great seats at two Broadway shows. When the hotel made a pricing mistake, Lynai quickly rectified the situation. It was a very good trip and we will definitely work with Lynai again.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does a travel advisor do?
I act as your professional trip designer and advocate. I listen to your needs, research and vet options, design a custom itinerary, and manage bookings and details. If anything changes before or during your trip, you have a real person to contact instead of a call center.
Who is ThetravelingTrendie for?
Women, couples, and families who value culture, comfort, and community impact. Many of my clients are caregivers, professionals, or leaders who want a high touch experience without spending hours researching.
What types of trips do you specialize in?
African safaris and cultural journeys in Tanzania and Kenya, heritage and culture journeys in India, women’s retreats in Morocco, curated city breaks in London, New York, and select European cities, and relaxing beach escapes in Zanzibar and Hawaii.
How do your fees work?
For custom itineraries and retreats, I charge a transparent planning fee that covers research, design, and support. On many bookings I am paid by hotels or partners, which means you get professional planning without paying more than public rates. I will always outline fees before we start.
Is it safe to travel to these destinations?
Safety is a core part of my process. I work with vetted local partners, trusted guides, and reputable properties. We discuss your comfort level, review travel advisories, and build in pacing and support that make you feel prepared rather than anxious.
I am not sure where I want to go yet. Can you still help?
Yes. Many clients come to me with only a feeling, not a specific destination. Our first step is a clarity call where we match your needs, timing, and budget to the right kind of journey.
Can you accommodate accessibility needs, mobility limitations, or health concerns?
Yes. My background as a registered nurse means I pay close attention to pacing, mobility, and comfort. When we plan your trip, we talk through any accessibility needs, mobility limits, or health concerns. I then select properties, room types, and experiences that fit you, such as step free access, elevator use, shorter walking tours, private transfers, or slower paced days. I also recommend travel insurance options and practical tips so you feel prepared, not stressed.
I do not live in Connecticut. Can we still work together?
Absolutely. While I am based in Connecticut, I work with clients across the United States and abroad. We meet virtually by video or phone, review your trip options together, and I share your itinerary and documents digitally so everything is easy to access wherever you are.
