No matter how many times you've been on an adventure, finding the next one can be intimidating. There's a lot of information out there, so it can be hard to cut through the noise to find what you're looking for and make sure it's accurate. That intimidation factor gets even bigger if you're adventuring solo, trying something new, or stepping out of your comfort zone in another way.

Everyone needs an adventure bestie to encourage them and help them find the information they need to be confident that their adventure is going to go smoothly. This is what I wish I had when I first started adventuring solo so I'm here to provide it for you!

I offer consultation calls on any size of adventure from a local day trip to longer trips abroad. All of the recommendations I make are from personal experience and years of trying all different kinds of activities, so I can provide useful insight you may not find online.

My adventure style is more active, and I love an activity that gets your adrenaline going - think trips with hiking, ziplining and/or via ferrata. I also believe that food is a very important part of an adventure so I've got you covered on affordable restaurant recommendations. That being said, I have a really wide range of interests so I can also recommend museums, spas, or other slower activities.

There are so many amazing things to try and beautiful views to see and I want to help you see them all! No question is too small so make sure you reach out to get the help you need to have your next great adventure.

Let me know what kind of adventure you're planning! Feel free to add as much detail as possible so we can make the most of our call

Custom itineraries provide you with all the information you need to have a great adventure. Whether it's a weekend trip near home or a few weeks of vacation, my itineraries take the guess work out of how best to spend your time.

Each itinerary takes into consideration the length of your stay, the members of your group and your travel preferences. If you've already done some research or have bucket list items you want to hit, I'll make sure those are on the list. If you've visited a location before and are looking for new things to try, I'll make sure there are no reptations on the list. If you have no idea what you want to see, I'll create an itinerary that pulls together the best of your destination. I only recommend places I've been so you can rest assured that the items on your itinerary are high quality.

Custom itineraries will provide you with a day by day break down of what to do and all the information you will need to enjoy each attraction. Considerations like best time to visit, what to bring and transportation between attractions will all be considered.  

Will you have a car with you? If not, how do you prefer to travel between attractions (public transit, uber, taxi, etc.)

Tell me about your travel style. Is there anything you already know you MUST see at your location? Anything you know you don't want to see? What kind of activities are you interested in (hiking, ziplining, museums, restaurants, etc.)? The more detailed you are, the better the completed itinerary will be :)
