Bryce Confidential

I started Bryce Travel in 2023, diving into planning luxe travel for a group of amazing clients, and then joined Substack in 2025 as an outlet to share vetted and highly-curated recommendations from my well-traveled and delightful network.

The philosophy behind Bryce Confidential is that every place has its own vibe, its own essence, its own heartbeat. Travel is always most magical when you can connect with the sense of a place - the true beauty, grit or grace of a space. That’s what the newsletter is about - connecting you to the iconic (as well as the new) spots in a locale. Curated by me and creative folks around the globe - you’ll find recommendations, lists of must-eats, must-dos, what to pack, when to go, and above all, how to lean into the sense of a place. Being here, now.

As always,

Bryce

P.S. For those who don’t know me, I run a business planning travel for families and couples - focused on food, experiences, and amazing hotels. Previously I worked in design at Google, content at Squarespace, and produced photo shoots over at Food52. I love lists, recommendations, and figuring out what the must-see/do/eat/experience things are in a place (even if those things mean — sitting on a towel at the beach—which I love to do).
