About Charlotte

Having grown up in Connecticut, where family holidays meant weekends in New England and road trips through the West Coast’s national parks, I developed a passion for travel and exploration from a young age. However, it wasn’t until a six-month adventure after university, which included stints in New Zealand, Vietnam and Fiji, that I found my love for Asia and Australasia. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to explore some of the world’s most vibrant and diverse destinations, with highlights including lighting butter lamps at a remote Buddhist monastery in Ladakh, cruising down the Nile in Egypt, and swimming with whale sharks in Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef. At cazenove+loyd, I thrive on combining my travel experience with meticulous attention to detail, creating beautifully bespoke journeys to some of the most spectacular destinations on earth.

Kyoto, Japan
JUST RETURNED FROM…

Japan

My first trip to Japan was a wonderful introduction to a country that effortlessly combines ancient traditions with modern life. I visited the famous cities of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, but one of the most fascinating experiences was travelling to Ise-Shima and meeting the ama divers. These remarkable women have been free-diving for centuries, traditionally harvesting abalone, sea urchins and other seafood from the coastal waters using little more than their breath and knowledge of the sea. Hearing about their lives and witnessing this centuries-old tradition offered a fascinating glimpse into a very different side of Japan.

NEXT DESTINATION IS…

The Maldives

I’m hugely looking forward to returning to the Maldives for swims in the sea, bike rides around the island and great food. I’ll be staying at Six Senses Laamu, and am particularly looking forward to revisiting their Sea Hub of Environmental Learning in Laamu (SHELL), where I can hopefully brush up on my marine knowledge. The centre shares fascinating insights into the local marine life – from the resident manta rays and turtles to the importance of Laamu’s seagrass meadows, which provide vital habitat for marine species.
