About Me

Butter Tea at a local farm stay in Bhutan
Butter Tea at a local farm stay in Bhutan

Are you ready to check off those once-in-a-lifetime adventures from your bucket list? As a Bucket List Specialist, I’m here to turn your wildest travel dreams into reality—whether it’s hiking the rugged trails of Patagonia, photographing Mountain Gorillas in Uganda, exploring the ancient Medina of Marrakesh, or finding that perfect bowl of ramen in Kyoto. If it’s on your list, it’s on mine too!

Adventure isn’t just a word to me—it’s a lifestyle. My personal travels have taken me to some of the world’s most iconic destinations, from exploring the volcanic landscapes of Guatemala to traversing Transylvania in search of all things Dracula in Romania. I've trekked through lush rainforests to search of Angel Falls in Venezuela, "offroaded" in a dugout canoe to spot the zebras in Botswana, and even navigated caves in search of Mayan artifacts in Belize. Whether it’s skydiving over the Palm el Jumeirah in Dubai or sipping butter tea with the locals in Bhutan, I’ve been there, done that, and can’t wait to help you do it too.

But don’t let the daredevil side fool you—I’m all about professionalism and precision when it comes to planning your trips. I know that bucket list travel isn’t just about the destination; it’s about the journey, the details, and the moments that take your breath away. That’s why I work tirelessly to ensure every aspect of your adventure is tailored to your unique style and preferences. From finding the perfect accommodations in Santorini to securing expert guides for a trek to Machu Picchu, I’ll make sure you’re fully prepared to dive into your dream experiences.

What sets me apart? I don’t just plan trips—I curate experiences that push boundaries, ignite passions, and create stories worth telling. Whether you’re dreaming of hiking through the dramatic landscapes of Iceland, diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, or soaring over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter, I’ll help you turn those dreams into reality. And if you’re looking for something truly unique, I’m always ready to think outside the box. Want to combine a safari in South Africa with a wine-tasting tour in Cape Town? Let’s make it happen. Curious about pairing a motorcycle road trip through New Zealand with a visit to Hobbiton? I’ve got ideas for that too.

My goal is simple: to help you create memories that last a lifetime. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or just dipping your toes into the world of bucket list travel, I’ll be your guide, your planner, and your biggest cheerleader. Life’s too short for ordinary vacations, and I believe every trip should be as unique and exciting as you are.

So, what’s on your bucket list? Let’s start planning your next adventure today. Whether it’s hiking the Inca Trail, diving in the Galápagos Islands, skydiving over Dubai, or something completely unexpected, I’m here to make it happen. Together, we’ll create a journey that’s not just unforgettable—it’s downright legendary.

2025 February-Great time!
Reviewed By hodgie762 - Hamilton, ON | Traveled to Vietnam | East and Southeast Asia
During my recent trip to Vietnam (Feb 2025 – for 2 weeks) with my wife, I used the services of Stephanie Slinn at Crossed Horizons. At first, I was a bit hesitant travelling to another country without a good understanding of the culture, customs and traditions but Stephanie made everything seamless. I was very happy with the recommendations, direction and guidance of planning all the activities together. I enjoyed the flexibility to do some of these activities on our own, and/ or with a guide. Everything was at our pace and allowed us to plan around the weather. We always felt safe and enjoyed the markets and local meals on a daily basis. I am looking forward to booking my next trip, possibly in the Mediterranean!

"David, thank you for trusting Crossed Horizons with your travel plans. I am glad the itinerary we developed together met your and your wife's expectations, and I am looking forward to working with you again in the future."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Working with Stephanie was such a great experience! She made planning my birthday trip easy. From the hotels to experiences and all the little details in between. She really listened to what I wanted and came up with great suggestions I wouldn’t have thought of on my own and provided sample itineraries that were balanced with relaxation and adventure. It felt like she genuinely cared about making sure I had an birthday trip. If you’re looking for someone to help plan your vacation without the stress, Stephanie is definitely the person to go to. I will 100% be using her knowledge and expertise again for my next adventure!

Amazing time exploring Sri Lanka!!
Reviewed By Ryan7463 - Phoenix, AZ | Traveled to Sri Lanka | Central Asia
We had an unforgettable 10-day adventure through Sri Lanka, and we’re so grateful to Stephanie for helping plan every detail! From Colombo to Galle Fort, Tissamaharama, Ella, Kandy, and Sigiriya, the trip was perfectly paced and packed with highlights. We loved exploring the ancient ruins of Polonnaruwa, climbing Sigiriya Rock, visiting the Temple of the Tooth, and relaxing in the Royal Botanic Gardens. The train ride from Ella to Kandy was a true highlight, as was our safari in Yala National Park where we spotted wild elephants and even leopards! The food was incredible—curry, kottu roti, egg hoppers—we enjoyed every bite. Our stays ranged from a lakeside treehouse to a cozy home in the tea fields. Whether by car, train, or tuk-tuk, every day brought something new and exciting. Stephanie made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend her if you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka!

Beyond Thankful
Reviewed By Amy - Arizona City Arizona | Traveled to Vietnam | East and Southeast Asia
Stephanie offered exceptional support while I planned my trip to Vietnam. Given that it was my first overseas trip, I was quite uncertain. Stephanie led me through every step, helping me design an impressive itinerary that I couldn't have conceived independently. Throughout my two-week trip to Vietnam, I visited numerous locations without experiencing any difficulties. Stephanie arranged everything, including airport transfers, accommodations, and transportation. Her suggestions for activities were outstanding and surpassed my own ideas. If you're looking for a travel agent, Stephanie is an excellent option!
Stephanie Slinn responded

What an intro to Southeast Asia!
Reviewed By Travelbug - Canada | Traveled to Bangkok | Thailand | East and Southeast Asia
Stephanie helped us plan a trip to Bangkok to kickoff a larger tour in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. She found us a fantastic hotel in a great location, gave some excellent local eats recommendations and ensured we had an itinerary to visit some of the highlights of the city. We were jetlagged and culture shocked and Stephanie ensured we had plans that were a perfect pace to explore a new place comfortably.
