Welcome! I’m Camryn LaSala, a native New Yorker now living in Santa Barbara, California. I’m on a mission to visit at least 100 countries, with nearly 45 already stamped on my passport. Along the way, I’ve found that planning and writing about my adventures is almost as exciting as experiencing them firsthand.

Enter, High Standard Travels: a one-stop shop for travel journalism and itinerary planning, so you can enjoy extraordinary experiences without the legwork.

Here, you’ll find reviews of luxury hotels that offer something truly unique—think witnessing the Northern Lights from the comfort of your own glass igloo, or escaping to a remote estancia, surrounded by Patagonia’s crisp landscapes, with days spent horseback riding and hiking. Beyond hotel reviews, I provide in-depth destination guides featuring curated activities, dining recommendations, and practical tips to make your adventures seamless.

If you’d rather skip the research, I also offer personalized trip planning services to handle every detail for you—so you can create memories, not checklists.
