Why Wild Places Matter:

I’ve always believed that wild places teach us more than any classroom. They invite us to slow down, to listen, to adapt, and to connect. Sometimes that means connecting with nature. Sometimes it means connecting with others. And sometimes, it means reconnecting with something deeper within ourselves.

A Different Kind of Travel Advisor

That belief is at the heart of my work. I help people explore wild places with confidence. My approach blends experienced guidance, curated itineraries, and real human connection to make travel more meaningful, accessible, and rewarding.

Whether your goal is an epic adventure or a quiet retreat, your trip should reflect your spirit. It shouldn’t feel like a pre-set checklist. I’m here to listen, understand what matters most to you, and help you craft a travel experience that honors it.

For the Journey That Fits Your Spirit

Maybe you’re chasing mountaintop moments. Maybe you’re seeking stillness. Either way, I’ll help you plan a journey that matches your pace, your goals, and your values.

Travel should feel like discovery, not like managing logistics. My role is to support that discovery with trusted tools, cultural insight, and the kind of local knowledge that can turn a trip into a transformation.

From your first idea to your return home, you’ll have thoughtful support every step of the way.

Clients I Work With

I work with solo travelers, couples, families, friend groups, and outdoor clubs. Most of my clients are looking for something more than a booking engine. They want purpose-filled travel with experiences that are designed with care, supported by real insight, and tailored to their needs.

Some travelers want to push their limits. Others want to slow down and reconnect. Many are hoping for a bit of both. My job is to help you find the right balance of challenge and comfort, structure and freedom.

Experience You Can Trust

I’ve spent my life exploring the outdoors. I’m a trail runner, backpacker, mountain biker, climber, paddler, sailor, and ultramarathoner. These are not just hobbies. They are how I experience the world and how I’ve learned to plan for it.

I understand the mindset of adventurers because I am one. I know how to chart the right path, adjust when conditions change, and make space for wonder even in the busiest itinerary.

Planning with Purpose

Before becoming a travel advisor, I worked in other industries helping people solve complex problems, stay focused, and make thoughtful decisions. That experience taught me how to guide others and manage the details without losing sight of the big picture.

Still, my strongest sense of purpose has always come from the trail, the water, and the wilderness. I’ve run 100 miles in a day. I’ve biked across Alaska, sailed in open water, and explored remote landscapes by foot, by canoe, and as a certified diver beneath the surface.

Those journeys taught me how to respect the unknown, prepare for surprises, and stay open to what’s possible when you let go of the ordinary.

What I Plan

I create custom itineraries for adventure travelers who are looking for more than a standard vacation. Whether you're planning a guided hiking trip in the Rockies, a solo trekking experience in Patagonia, or a small-group cultural journey through East Africa, each trip is designed to reflect your goals and travel style.

Some of the experiences I help plan include:

• Trail-based travel and hut-to-hut hiking

• Off-the-beaten-path safaris and wildlife trips

• Paddling expeditions and multisport adventures

• Small-group outdoor getaways and club retreats

• Active honeymoons that balance challenge and comfort

• Cultural experiences combined with nature-based exploration

If you value authenticity, flexibility, and thoughtful support from someone who understands the needs of active travelers, I can help you build a journey that moves you both physically and emotionally.

The Path Forward

Everything I have learned in the wild informs how I support travelers today. I understand both the emotional and practical sides of adventure. My goal is to walk alongside you in building a trip that is intentional, exciting, and deeply personal.

Whether you're planning your first big trek or returning to a place that already lives in your heart, I’m here to help create something that fits your style and fuels your spirit.

Let’s Get Started

If you’re ready to go somewhere that moves you, I would be honored to help guide the way. Let’s create something meaningful together, one journey at a time.
