You have a dream, to explore the world. We can help you do it responsibly.
Planning an adventure is exciting!
It’s something to look forward to. It keeps your spirits high as you enjoy the anticipation of exploring a new destination.
You’ve Googled and bookmarked, pinned and documented everything from photos to websites, to restaurant reviews. You’ve done lots of research, but the planning is overwhelming and time consuming. You love looking at beautiful pictures and that means your list of places to see and things to do keeps getting longer. How will you ever fit it all in?
You are ready to invest your money in a vacation you’ll love, but you’re unsure which companies are legitimate and where your money is actually going.
Buying local and reducing waste is important in your daily life, but you’re not sure how to honour those values when you travel.
Sound familiar?
We find destinations and experiences that make your heart sing.
The endless amount of information online is overwhelming. You don’t need more unvetted information. What you really need is quality information, tailored to you. All of the options don’t apply to you, but how do you figure out which ones are the best fit for you and your values?
The secret is a well-travelled, knowledgeable and experienced travel planner, with inside connections. Anyone can Google things to do in a destination, but to find truly authentic experiences, not just the most popular options, you need insider information.
When you hire us to plan your travels, we get to know you as a person, and as a traveller. Our hands-on experience in over 45 countries, combined with our network of strong industry connections ensures you have authentic adventures, every time you travel.
Working with us, you can rest assured not only will you have an amazing adventure, your investment will do double duty as you’ll also have a positive impact on the world, just by travelling.
