Custom Trips Built Around You

No two travelers are the same — and no two trips I plan are either. Whether you're dreaming about hiking ancient trails in Ireland, chasing the northern lights in Iceland, exploring the coastlines of Croatia, or doing something completely off the beaten path, I build every custom trip from scratch around your interests, pace, and budget. No cookie-cutter packages. No upsells. Just a trip that actually fits you.
How it works
Custom trip planning starts with a conversation. You reach out, we connect, and I send you a short inquiry form so I can better understand what you're looking for — where you want to go, how you like to travel, what your budget looks like, and what kind of experiences matter most to you.

From there, I do the research. I find the best suppliers, accommodations, tours, and logistics to match what you're after — or I build the itinerary myself from the ground up. Either way, I put together a full proposal at or just over your maximum budget, so we have room to work with. From there we go back and forth, tweaking and refining until it feels exactly right. Then we book it.

My background in emergency services means I'm calm under pressure, I pay close attention to the details, and I plan for the things most people don't think about. That translates directly into how I plan your trip — thorough, reliable, and built so you can actually relax and enjoy it.

Destinations I love planning

I send clients to some incredible places. Here are some of the destinations I know well and love helping people explore:

• Iceland — northern lights, waterfalls, volcanic landscapes
• Ireland — coastal hikes, ancient history, local pubs worth finding
• New Zealand — dramatic scenery, outdoor adventure, Lord of the Rings country
• Croatia — stunning coastline, historic old towns, island hopping
• Scotland — rugged highlands, castles, whisky trails
• Costa Rica — rainforest, wildlife, zip lines, and beautiful beaches
• Alaska — glaciers, wildlife, wilderness, and some of the best cruise routes in the world
• Hawaii — island hopping, beaches, volcanic parks, and real local culture
• Tuscany & Italy — food, wine, history, and scenery that never gets old
• And beyond — if you have a destination in mind that's not on this list, let's talk

What you get with a custom trip
A trip built around your interests, not a template

• A clear proposal at your budget so you know exactly what you're getting
• Real back-and-forth until the itinerary feels right
• Handpicked accommodations, tours, and experiences — not just whatever's available
• One point of contact from the first conversation through your return home
• Honest guidance from someone who has traveled to or researched these places thoroughly

Who this is a great fit for

Custom trips work best for travelers who know what they want but don't want to spend hours researching it themselves — or who have a loose idea and need help turning it into something real. If you've been putting off a trip because it feels too complicated to plan, that's exactly the kind of project I love.
