CUSTOM ADVENTURES

Let's Go on an Adventure!

I specialize in adventure and it’s my passion to take you on the adventure you’ve always dreamed of. I create and cater each trip specifically to you. An adventure with me can be anything from rugged backpacking excursions into the wilderness to luxurious bouts across the globe, immersing ourselves into other cultures. 


You might be brand new to adventuring (perhaps you’ve been too intimated to travel or don’t know how) or maybe you’re a seasoned traveler who wants a more stress-free experience by being accompanied by an adventure butler who will plan and book your excursion for you and take you on it – everyone is welcome and there’s something new and exciting out there for you to discover.

So what does an adventure guide and trip leader do?


Well, think of me as your personal confidant who is by your side from the start to finish of your dream adventure. First you’ll choose your excursion; then I’ll research, plan and book it for you, help you prepare for it, and finally – take you on it! I’ll even do all the driving and cook up your meals in the wilderness. Whether you are a seasoned trekker or it’s your very first time, as an experienced traveler and Wilderness EMT it’s my absolute joy and privilege to assist you and your loved ones to go on your dream vacation in the funnest, safest and most enriching ways possible.

How it works

Let’s get to know each other!

I’ll get to know what makes you tick (what a way to start a friendship!) and I’ll come up with some potential itineraries inspired by you! So make sure to come with your inspirations; that could be a list of places you’re dying to visit, things you want to experience, or even just some images or a general vibe… share anything and everything that’s important for you to include in your dream adventure! 

Choose your favorite adventures!

I’ll come up with and present to you a few itineraries for your upcoming adventure. You’ll give me your input, pick a couple of your favorites, and then I’ll budget them out for you.

Get ready for your wild time!

Once you decide on your favorite adventure I take care of the rest. I’ll book everything that has to do with your trip (accommodations, reservations, tours, permits… everything) which means that all you have to do is show up on the day of your trip and have a blast! If you chosen a more physically challenging adventure, I’ll develop a workout plan to train you and your friends and family for it, get you outfitted and even send you a packing list so nothing gets forgotten.

Go on your custom excursion!

Head out on your adventure with your very own adventure guide (me!). I even pick you up at the airport, do all the driving on the trip, cook in the wilderness... and I'll even have a few surprises for you along the way.

Sound like fun?

Of course it does... so let’s get started!

Popular Questions

  • What kind of trips could we go on?

    We’re limited only by our imaginations. While I do specialize in wilderness adventure, trips can be as rugged or as luxurious as you like. I find that a mixture of culture and Nature to be a great combination for a wild time. I take the time to get to know you and create an excursion that is suited to your personal preferences, joys and physical limitations.


  • How will you help me prepare for an excursion?

    Every excursion is unique and has its own sets of demands. Part of the fun of adventure is stretching your abilities each time you go on one, so we’ll take special care in preparing you and your companions for it. This is done with physical training and conditioning (check out my Adventure Training page for more details), outfitting and gaining an understanding about the cultures we will be experiencing -- and respecting! As your adventure butler I’ll be with you every step of the way to make sure you're fit and ready for your excursion.

  • How will I know if I’m fit enough to go on an excursion?

    Nature and the spirit of adventure don’t exclude anyone. If you are older, out of shape or have injuries that doesn’t mean you can’t join in on the experience. I can customize an excursion that suits your own level of fitness and design a training program to help whip you into shape for your upcoming excursion. For more info, take a look at my Adventure Training & Coaching page.

  • How is the cost of an excursion calculated?

    When you have selected a custom itinerary, I will put together a budget for the costs of your excursion. This will be comprehensive and include accommodations, permits, activities, etc. for your adventure plus estimated costs for food. You will be able to review this budget and we can make adjustments based upon your needs before it is approved. Trip costs will also include guide costs (day rate, per diem, accommodations, activities, transportation). Many people prefer to use their points for airfare but I can also help you get the best deals on travel as well.

  • How do you keep clients safe?

    Time in the wilderness comes with inherent risks, but journeying and recreating responsibly ensures we are doing so in a secure and trustworthy environment. As a wilderness first responder (WFR) I am medically trained to assist those in emergency situations. I also carry a satellite communicator to reach out to emergency services when needed.

  • Can children and teenagers go on these adventures?

    Of course! If you want to bring your children I can come up with an excursion that is custom-built for the whole family. Any minors who come on a trip must be accompanied by a legal guardian. Cultural trips can be done with children of any age, but most wilderness trips can be done well with children 12 or older.

  • What if I want my trip planned out for me but I only want to go with my friends and family?

    Sure! If you wish to just have me plan and book a trip for you I am more than happy to do so. My fee for planning this is determined by the location, complexity and duration of your trip.

  • How far in advance should I book an excursion with you?

    The best answer is the sooner the better. The more time I have to put togethter a trip for you the lower prices tend to be and the more options we'll have.

  • Do you customize excursions for the particular needs of politicians or celebrities?

    Yes! For more details, please check out my pages for Excursions for Politicians and Celebrity & Actor Excursions.

  • What is Leave No Trace Education and can it be included with an excursion?

    For those groups who love learning, team building and want to more deeply connect to Nature, Leave No Trace (LNT) is a fantastic way to do so. For more information, check out my Leave No Trace Education page.

  • Do you do special trips for Halloween (Spooky Season)?

    These trips are some of my favorites! If you’re up for an adventure that’s creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky (and altogether ooky) check out my page on Halloween Adventures.

  • Is everyone welcome?

    Naturally! Everyone is welcome regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity, race, creed, sexual orientation, age or disability.

  • How much should I tip an adventure guide / trip leader?

    Between 10% - 20%
