Overcoming Travel Anxiety with Art In Voyage’s Mikael Audebert & Wian West

A decade of un-Googleable experiences

What does a decade of luxury travel actually look like from the inside? Chaotic, delicious, occasionally fully clothed in a swimming pool – and absolutely unforgettable. In this episode, Art In Voyage founder Mikael Audebert sits down with Wine Fairy, Katie Barratt, and chef Kevin Fonzo to celebrate 10 years of crafting un-Googleable, hyper-personalised experiences, from cooking bouillabaisse in a Provençal garden to stumbling upon a baguette vending machine on a Sunday night in Burgundy. This conversation is equal parts behind-the-scenes and sincerely moving – a portrait of what happens when hospitality stops being a service and starts being a relationship. Art In Voyage. 10 years of making the magic happen.

Art In Voyage On The Ground

What truly makes a journey exceptional? It is not just where you go, but how thoughtfully each experience is chosen, tested, and refined. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on why we personally explore destinations and experiences before ever offering them to our guests. We talk about how to recognize the difference between something that looks good and something that feels right, how meaningful experiences become the foundation of an entire journey, and what it takes to build itineraries that flow naturally and authentically. We also dive into the role of honest feedback, both giving it and receiving it, and how continuous refinement is essential to creating journeys that evolve and improve over time. Whether you are a curious traveler or simply interested in what goes into crafting unforgettable travel experiences, this episode offers a grounded, behind-the-scenes look at how great journeys are truly made.
