Bespoke Adventures
A stone’s throw away or around the world, I plan an unforgettable getaway designed just for you.
The difference from other travel planning? You don’t know where you’re going or what you’re up to until you depart. All you have to do is complete a survey, engage in a conversation, and get ready to go. This service is open to anyone, but limited to a maximum of three travelers per trip, and works best for those who are ready to take on the unknown.

Testimonials
My Bespoke adventures are for you if:
⌾ You want to go on vacation, but the idea of planning raises your hackles.
⌾ You have an open mind and are ready to embrace the unexpected.
⌾ You’re ready to disconnect from your day-t0-day, and find new sources of connection with those around you.
⌾ You have a timeline and trip budget range in mind, but may have some wiggle room or flexibility.
⌾ You’re looking to take a solo trip, or travel with just 1 to 2 others.

⌾ You’ll be checking your work email throughout the trip.
⌾ You need to operate on an extremely tight timeline, schedule, or budget.
⌾ You have more than three travelers in your group.

Each of these starts with submitting a request so I can get to know your needs. Should my availability align, we’ll kick things off with a call, you’ll be guided through subsequent steps using a digital checklist, and you’ll be empowered with clear communication throughout the process.
I encourage inquiring ahead! This is an in-demand service, and to maintain quality, I generally hold strict limits on the maximum number of experiences I’m designing at any given time.
Two Notes on Pricing
Exact prices are determined to match your needs. Once scope of work is determined, prices are made clear on a Letter of Engagement which you will have the opportunity to review and sign before I initiate any work.
While I value my work and deserve to be paid for it, as able, I will work on a sliding scale to help ensure my services are accessible to all. I field discount requests from BIPOC or minority-led companies or organizations, am open to potential service or material trades, and do provide pro-bono services for causes I care about. If you’d like to explore any of these options, include such notes on your initial form, or contact me.
