Charity Auger
Senior Travel Designer
Charity Auger is a Senior Travel Designer and Associate of Travel Design Co. She operates her client-facing brand, Path & Palate by Charity, while affiliated with Travel Design Co.
With firsthand travel experience spanning more than 60 countries, Charity designs highly personalized journeys for curious travelers who want to go beyond the obvious. Food, wine and cultural connection are among the lenses she naturally brings to travel, alongside active and adventurous experiences, thoughtfully chosen luxury hotels and resorts, river and ocean cruising, and expedition travel.
Charity is particularly drawn to the details that can transform a well-planned trip into a deeply personal one: choosing the right neighborhood rather than simply the most recognizable hotel, finding the restaurant or wine bar a traveler might never discover on their own, and knowing when a celebrated experience is truly worth the time and investment—or when there is a better alternative.
“Every trip I design is a chance to show someone that the world is bigger, more beautiful, and more welcoming than they ever imagined.”
TRAVEL SPECIALTIES
Food & Wine · Cultural Connection · Active & Adventure · River & Ocean Cruising · Expedition Travel
Her approach combines creativity, firsthand knowledge and trusted industry relationships to design trips around the individual traveler rather than a template. The goal is not simply to get you where you want to go, but to help you discover the places, experiences and moments you may not have known to ask for.
