About Me

Quick break during a safari in Kenya
Quick break during a safari in Kenya

 "Let's go on an adventure!"

There is nothing I find more interesting in travel than stepping off the beaten path. Adventure travel doesn't necessarily mean forging Japanese steel with a blade smith or hiking up an active volcano. Sometimes, all you need is immerse yourself in the local culture, share a meal, and learn to cook that meal!

Simple things can open doors to new experiences. Whether it's chatting to your host about that special place where he/she would bring a date, or going to that club locals go to dance salsa. When I travel, or when I plan trip, I like finding new, less touristy places. Besides having to share cultural sites with fewer tourists, it also means that the locals will be more welcoming and genuine - meeting you for who you are rather than the funds you bring. 

With an open mind, even that weekend getaway can turn into an exciting trip. Maybe you'll stumble on a new vineyard or a small local festival that you never knew existed.

So, where are we going?

The Realization of a Childhood Goal
Reviewed By Ashley - Saint John, New Brunswick | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
Working with Christian was great. He was thorough in asking about the reason for my travel, my experience traveling solo, and my goals, and then tailoring the trip to me. Even after the trip was booked, he still sent me suggestions about seasonal festivals and unique places to eat. It was great to have someone arranging my trip who was as excited for it as I was.

    Hiking the Everest Base Camp...

    In 2023, I had the opportunity cross one adventure off my bucket list: hiking to the Mount Everest Base Camp, or EBC. I debated on how to describe my trip and its impact. I decided to do an overall description of my experience rather that a day-to-day report. Hiking From Kathmandu, we took a short (37min) flight to...
