Sydney Waters
Founder of The Waters Edit

The Waters Edit began as a simple passion project: a place to share restaurant, hotel, and winery recommendations with friends and family. What started casually soon evolved into something much larger, becoming a creative platform built around travel, hospitality, design, and discovery.
Since 2021, Sydney Waters has designed custom travel itineraries spanning more than 45 major cities around the world, helping travelers uncover experiences that feel both elevated and personal. From boutique hotels and hidden neighborhood cafés to celebrated restaurants and emerging wine regions, her recommendations are guided by a deep appreciation for quality, storytelling, and the details that transform a trip into a lasting memory.
Today, that passion has expanded into personalized travel planning through The Waters Edit’s partnership with Fora Travel. As a Fora Advisor, Sydney combines her firsthand destination knowledge with Fora’s global network of preferred hotel partners and industry relationships to help clients plan seamless, thoughtfully curated trips. Whether arranging a weekend escape, a milestone celebration, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, her goal is to create travel experiences that feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable.
Over the years, Sydney has worked closely with founders, operators, and creative teams across hospitality, travel, and lifestyle, becoming a trusted creative partner who understands both the operational and guest-facing sides of a business. She believes that great content does more than look beautiful. It creates connection, inspires discovery, and influences how people experience a brand long before they ever walk through the door.
At its core, The Waters Edit is rooted in Sydney’s lifelong love for travel, food, and wine. It is a collection of experiences, recommendations, and creative work inspired by the belief that the details matter, and that the most memorable moments are often found in the places, people, and stories we encounter along the way.
