Althea Wyman here, the luxury experience designer behind Setters Point Travels. I design immersive, high‑end journeys to Italy, South Korea, and Alaska for travelers who want boutique stays, memorable food, and deep cultural connection—without doing the planning themselves.”
“Instead of cookie‑cutter tours, you get custom itineraries built around how you want to feel: rested, inspired, and fully present. I work with trusted in‑destination partners who live in these places, so your hotels, guides, and experiences are handpicked to match your tastes and investment level.
What to expect when we work together
- Trips that move at a recharging, enjoyable pace—not a frantic checklist
- Boutique and character‑filled hotels over big, anonymous properties
- Food‑forward experiences: markets, street food, tastings, classes, and special meals
- Genuine connection with local culture, not just surface‑level sightseeing
- A professional handling the details so you can simply arrive and exhale
My clients typically invest at least 7,500 per person for land arrangements, and that level of investment allows me to design the immersive, worry‑free journeys that define Setters Point Travels.

Signature Journeys
Signatures Journeys
One‑of‑a‑kind, immersive itineraries in Italy, South Korea, and Alaska—designed for travelers who want boutique stays, memorable food, and deep cultural connection, not a DIY checklist.
Thoughtfully crafted, off-the-beaten-path itineraries in Italy, South Korea, Alaska, and select river cruise routes—created for travelers who seek boutique stays, unforgettable food, and genuine cultural connection, not another do-it-yourself checklist.
Italy – Slow Food & Storybook Streets
Linger in hill towns and historic cities instead of racing from sight to sight. Your Italy journey might blend vineyard stays, markets, cooking classes, and local guides who bring the stories—and the food—to life. Boutique hotels and thoughtful pacing make it feel indulgent, not exhausting.
Signature Korea
Dive into South Korea’s dynamic mix of street food, markets, temples, and stylish neighborhoods without feeling overwhelmed. Your days might include curated food tours, a carefully chosen temple stay, and time to wander with a personalized list instead of a packed checklist.
Alaska – Wild & Cozy
Experience Alaska’s wild beauty with all the details handled for you. Think scenic rail, handpicked lodges, glacier and wildlife days with small groups or private guides, and evenings with a view and a glass in hand. Every stop is paced so you can actually relax and savor the moment.
Beyond my signature journeys-Off-the-beaten-path culinary & cultural luxury
Discover how my signature style in Italy, South Korea, and Alaska extends worldwide: kaiseki secrets in hidden Kyoto gardens (Japan), Douro Valley seafood feasts in Algarve villages (Portugal), and Istrian truffle hunts beyond Dubrovnik (Croatia).
Wherever rich food and culture call, I craft bespoke immersion without the crowds. Ready for yours?
RIVER CRUISING
Imagine your favorite boutique hotel floating gently down a river, carrying you from one story-rich town to the next. You wake to soft light on the water, a new village or stretch of wild shoreline outside your window, and a day that unfolds at an unhurried, comfortable pace.
On board, the atmosphere is intimate and relaxed—thoughtful service, beautifully prepared meals, and spaces that invite conversation, quiet reflection, and connection. Ashore, you step straight into the heart of each destination for guided walks, local flavors, and meaningful cultural encounters, without ever feeling rushed or lost in a crowd.
If you love boutique lodging, culinary excellence, and authentic cultural immersion—and want to come home refreshed rather than exhausted—a river cruise can be one of the most effortless and rewarding ways to travel. Explore. Savor. Connect.
