Founded by Essi Metsäkallio, the company offers a highly personalized and hands-on approach to travel, focusing on thoughtful details, seamless execution, and exceptional service from beginning to end.

With an extensive global network and firsthand knowledge of the world’s leading destinations and properties, Concept Travel provides clients with exclusive access, insider recommendations, and personalized experiences beyond what is typically available to the public.

Finnish by birth, Essi brings a distinctly international perspective, having lived in France, the UK, Italy, Turkey, Germany, and Australia — all while traveling extensively around the globe. Her passion for travel and cultural discovery began early, and after a successful career in luxury consulting, transitioning into luxury travel was a natural evolution. With academic credentials in media, international affairs, and art history earned in Paris, Essi eventually made New York her home base. From there, she continues to explore the world and support her global clientele. Her loyal clients know: no request is too complex, and no destination too remote.
