[ About ]

Every trip starts with two simple questions - when&where?

You’ve got those answers. But what comes next?

Hours of research, a hundred open tabs, Google Maps full of saved spots, scrolling through social media hints

The planning gets exhausting fast and that’s before you even depart. Save your energy for the good part - the experience itself.

We design journeys to be unique, effortless, and recharging.

We don’t do tours the usual way.

[ MISSION ]

Designed for the group of individuals, not just a group.

Keeping our groups small (no more than 12) allows us to unlock experiences you won’t find in any guidebook. From family-hosted meals to artisan workshops, all led by extraordinary locals who bring their home to life through passion and insight.

Each day is thoughtfully paced, with space for connection, rest, and freedom. Our accommodations are always full of character and comfort - often family-run, and always memorable.

We want you to return home not just with memories but feeling recharged with a renewed sense of self.

[ FAQ ]
  • This kind of travel is perfect for those who:

    • Crave a break that leaves you feeling rested, not rushed

    • Curious about local insights - not just what’s easy to find online.

    • Want structure, but with enough freedom to wander

    • Is done with logistics and want someone to hold the details, so you can just be.

    • Is solo, with a partner, or part of a duo looking for shared experience and space.


    It doesn’t really matter if you’re an experienced traveler or it’s your very first trip abroad. What I’m building here is less about how many places you’ve seen and more about how deeply you get to experience them. These are the kinds of journeys that stay with you - the quiet moments, the people you meet, the way a place makes you feel.

    Still wondering if it’s right for you? Just reach out to me - happy to chat (contact me).

  • Each trip page lists exactly what’s covered, but generally it includes your accommodations, curated experiences, select meals, and all on-the-ground coordination.

    Flights are usually not included so you can choose what works best for your schedule. If you’re based in the US, we know many travelers collect miles through their credit cards and we’re all for making them work for you. While we can’t book directly through your airline accounts, we’ll gladly help you understand (to the best of our ability) how to use your miles toward your flights. If you need help booking you flights using cash, we can absolutely assist with it.

  • We like to keep it easy and flexible for you! We can do everything online, or hop on a quick call if you’d rather chat and go over questions together.

    The one thing that is important would be to fill out the short pre-trip questionnaire. It helps us understand what you enjoy, what you’re looking for, and how we can make the experience feel a bit more “you” - even in a group setting. We can’t promise every detail will be personalised, but I’ll always do my best to make sure you get the kind of trip you’re hoping for.

  • Booking is really simple, and I’ll guide you through every step. Once you decide which trip feels right for you, you can either fill out the short booking form or just message me directly, whatever feels easier. I’ll walk you through the next steps, including the deposit, important travel details, and the pre-trip questionnaire that helps me get to know you better

    From there, I’ll keep you in the loop with everything you need before we go - flight tips, packing reminders, and even a little insight into the places we’ll visit. It’s meant to feel easy and personal, not like you’re just checking boxes.

  • Absolutely! Friends, partners, siblings - everyone’s welcome. Many people join with someone they love traveling with, and it always adds a nice layer of energy to the group. When you book, just mention their name so we can make sure your rooms, transfers, and experiences are arranged together.

    Even though these are group trips, we always try to balance shared moments with space for your own pace. So if you and your friend want to branch off for a coffee or an afternoon walk - that’s completely fine. It’s your trip, after all.

  • What sets these trips apart is the balance between being cared for and being free. Everything is thoughtfully planned - your stays, local experiences, and transfers but never to the point where you feel rushed or stuck in a schedule. I focus on creating space for curiosity, rest, and small spontaneous moments that make travel special.

    You are not just signing up for a pre-set itinerary. You are joining something that adapts to who you are. Before the trip, we take the time to understand what you enjoy, whether that is quiet mornings, hidden cafés, or exploring every corner of a market, and we try to weave that into the experience. It is still a group trip, but it should feel like it was made with you in mind.

  • You absolutely should. These trips are designed to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on enjoying the experience. From the moment you book, I’ll guide you through everything - what to pack, how to prepare, and what to expect when you arrive. You won’t be on your own at any point; there’s support before and during the trip, including having a local person who speaks the language, so you can relax and fully enjoy your first adventure abroad.

  • It’s best to book as early as you can, especially since group sizes are designed to be small. Most people reserve their place a few months in advance to make sure they get the dates and room type they want.

  • Yes, travel insurance is required for all trips. It protects you in case of unexpected changes, delays, or emergencies. If you don’t already have one, we can help you find a plan that’s simple and reliable - nothing complicated, just the kind that gives peace of mind while you travel.

  • Each trip is thoughtfully curated, so the exact details depend on the destination.

    • We stay in comfortable boutique-style hotels, charming guesthouses, or local villas - always clean, cozy, and well-located.

    • Activities are a mix of local private experiences, guided visits, and free time for you to explore at your own pace.

    • Transportation is private and arranged for the group, so you don’t need to worry about logistics or directions.

    Everything is chosen with comfort and authenticity in mind.
