Travel with
Every so often, I put together a journey I just can’t shake — the kind that tugs at me until I finally say, “Alright, let’s go,” and invite a small circle of guests along.
Some of these experiences are hosted journeys, where I travel alongside the group and share the rhythm of the road together. Others are independently traveled, thoughtfully curated and planned in full, but enjoyed at your own pace.
What they all have in common is intention: a focus on story, connection, and a true sense of place — with room to breathe, wander, and settle in.
You’ll find those journeys here, as they open.
Curated journeys — both hosted and independently traveled — designed with intention, access, and ease.
