Welcome to Simplistic Journeys
Where Luxury, Culture, and Adventure Unite

At Simplistic Journeys, we believe travel should be more than a vacation—it should be a beautifully crafted experience that nourishes your curiosity, connects you to culture, and surrounds you with luxury at every turn.

Founded in 2017 by Tanisha Connelly, Simplistic Journeys curates exclusive, high-touch group travel experiences for discerning travelers who value meaning just as much as magnificence. Whether it’s a city escape, a cultural deep dive, or a barefoot beach retreat, every journey is tailored to be seamless, immersive, and unforgettable.

Our expertise lies in designing journeys that balance elegance with exploration and comfort with connection. We specialize in:

  • Boutique group travel with curated itineraries rooted in cultural immersion

  • Milestone celebrations that honor life’s most significant moments

  • Solo and small-group escapes for travelers seeking ease and intention

Through hand-selected accommodations, thoughtful cultural encounters, and a concierge-level planning experience, we create escapes that feel indulgent, grounded, and personal.

We are committed to delivering culturally immersive, luxury group travel experiences that celebrate authenticity, offer exceptional value, and feel effortless from start to finish.

At Simplistic Journeys, travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how you feel while you’re there. From the first spark of inspiration to your return home, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the joy, discovery, and transformation that travel brings.

  • Tailored Itineraries – No cookie-cutter tours. Every journey reflects your personal style, pace, and priorities.

  • Handpicked Accommodations – Stay in properties that are just as unforgettable as the destination.

  • Exclusive Cultural Access – We partner with local guides, artisans, and experts to give you an inside look at each location.

  • White-Glove Service – From start to finish, we’re by your side, making sure every detail is seamless.

Most of our premium planning services are included at no extra cost. For highly customized itineraries or air-only bookings, a nominal planning fee applies. We believe in transparency, integrity, and delivering exceptional value every time.

Tanisha Connelly

I’m Tanisha Connelly—curator, cultural explorer, and the woman behind Simplistic Journeys, where every itinerary is a love letter to the world’s most meaningful corners. Since 2017, I’ve been designing travel experiences that honor both the soul of a destination and the spirit of the traveler. I don’t believe in ordinary vacations. I believe in intentional journeys—experiences that shift your perspective, slow your breath, and spark deeper connection to place, people, and self. Rooted in elegance and authenticity, my work blends luxury with lineage, comfort with curiosity, and style with storytelling. Whether it’s a barefoot welcome from a Maasai elder in East Africa, a slow afternoon tasting wine in Stellenbosch, or golden-hour cruising through the Persian Gulf, your journey is layered with depth, beauty, and ease. At Simplistic Journeys, every itinerary is more than a trip—it’s a curated passage through history, culture, and indulgence. My specialty? Boutique group travel that feels both intimate and immersive Milestone celebrations that honor life’s legacy moments Solo escapes for the traveler who wants the world—wrapped in ease This work is personal. It’s ancestral. It’s for travelers who see the world not just as a destination, but as a mirror—of identity, creativity, and growth. Let me design your escape with intention, so you can move through the world with grace—grounded in luxury, led by culture, and unbothered by logistics.
Welcome to your elevated escape—crafted with intention, rooted in culture, and designed to delight.
