why travel with us?

"I haven't had to think or worry about a single thing this whole time." This quote by one of our group members at the end of a trip encapsulates why this kind of travel is so relaxing. I'm definitely the kind of vacationer that loves a little adventure with my rest, but it isn't a true vacation if you are having to worry and think about all the details. I've done the work before, I take care of everything during the trip, and we put out the little travel fires that inevitably crop up. All you have to do is show up.

responsible travel

Responsible travel is so important. Instead of coming into any place as a greedy consumer, I aim to employ best practices so that our presence boosts the local economy responsibly and treats the land we are on with respect. As much as possible, I always try to make sure money is going into the local's hands. I look for locally owned businesses and believe in tipping well while interacting with the respect they are owed. Our groups take the attitude of a guest and a learner during our trips.

our groups

I keep the groups small to enhance your experience. Our typical size is about 6-12 people. The beauty of group travel is that it usually allows us to stay in private accommodations and have services like private chefs or guides. While we do excursions and meals as a group, you'll find that in between, your time is your own. No pressure, no group mixers- this is your vacation.
