TRAVEL WITH ME

Small group adventures where cultural impact meets real connections

Never travel alone again.

Let's be real--it's hard to find travel companions. Either your friends don't have the vacation time, they can't afford to travel, they don't own a passport, or they just don't want to go to the same places as you.

I’ve been there, trust me.

I combined my passion for travel, my creative trip-planning skills, and my desire to help others to see the world, and I developed custom group trips for people just like you.

Why my trips are different.

First off, you won't catch me stuffing you into a tour bus with 40 strangers in matching shirts, racing through a city like it's a scavenger hunt. That's not my style, and I'm guessing it's not yours either.

Instead, picture this: A small crew (10-15 people max) who actually want to experience a place, not just check it off their list. We'll dive into the culture, connect with locals, and yeah - you'll have plenty of time to wander off and do your own thing. Because let's be real, sometimes the best moments happen when you're just exploring with your new travel buddies.

Speaking of buddies - it's wild how quickly a group of random strangers turns into your favorite people when you're sharing incredible experiences together. Fair warning: you might end up planning your next adventure before this one's even over.

Let travel transform you.

Have you ever gotten home from traveling and felt different? Like you aren’t quite the same person as before you left?

This is the power of transformational travel, and I’m a firm believer in using travel to transform not only yourself, but also your life and the lives of the people in the countries we visit.

My trips focus on immersing yourself in a culture and its people instead of just skimming the surface.

This is where the magic happens.

These trips aren't about racing through a checklist of "must-see" spots. They're about things that actually matter - supporting local communities, making real connections, and discovering some amazing things about yourself along the way. Because while those sunset photos are nice, the stories and perspectives you bring home? That's the stuff that sticks with you long after your tan fades.
