"Travel moves us - literally, intellectually, and emotionally - to beautiful places out in the world, and to important places deep within ourselves. Travel asks us to break the bonds of inertia and routine and push ourselves out of our chairs, out of the house, and out of our sometimes-too-comfortable comfort zones, and into new experiences that inspire us, change us, move us." - Off the Beaten Path
"The rewards for all that pushing and moving are considerable. Chances are, if you're reading this, you already know: travel heartens us. Moving, exploring, discovering - these pursuits make us feel alive and happy. On the best trips, we burst with a sense of fullness, even as we feel extraordinarily light. We come home renewed, rejuvenated, and reawakened to life's possibilities." - OBP
This could be the start of a lifetime of adventure travel for you!
As your guide, it's my job to be an expert who makes every moment memorable: “About Me”
I deal with all the logistics and planning.
I strive to do much more than just lead the way. I thoroughly plan and prepare while leaving room for spontaneity. I will be with you every step of the way providing encouragement and flexibility while also giving you space to explore on your own. I will happily adjust things if you ever need a break or a change of pace.
I've personally experienced all the locations I lead others to. I make it my business to know everything possible about each destination including photogenic spots and the native wildlife. I'll keep you smiling, informed, and learning new things around every bend.
I see each guest as the individual person they are and a new friend!
Explore with fun, adventurous, like-minded people who share your passion for the outdoors. Arrive as strangers, leave planning your next adventure together.

Here's a collection of Adventure quotes
Unbeatable value (Spectacular deals on spectacular views!)
Nature and adventure travel shouldn’t just be for the financially rich!
How do I keep costs low? By sharing costs amongst the group - it’s like buying in bulk and getting a group discount!
Need to take a digital detox? Need to feed your soul? Need a new perspective? Need to get out of your comfort zone and escape the ordinary? Get away from the noise and busyness of our world and go on an adventure!
“There is often nothing to think about beyond the thud of your feet. You are completely immersed in the moment, thinking of only the simple things in life. For a cluttered mind, this is a godsend.”
Our trips are not your typical “vacations.” They aren’t about leisure and consumption. Adventure travel makes you better; you will learn new things, be physically active, meet new people, and have positively life-changing experiences.
These are much more than sightseeing expeditions. These trips are immersive experiences you’ll remember for the rest of your life.
You will feel invigorated and you will earn a strong sense of accomplishment.
Embrace and celebrate Minimalism: When backpacking, you bear the responsibility for carrying everything you need and want.
Group travel is better for the environment by saving on fuel and therefore emissions.
Group travel provides safety in numbers compared to traveling alone.
We’re not passive consumers; everyone belongs, participates, and contributes to the group experience.
Signing up ensures you are committed and removes excuses to take an easier path. Similar to registering for a race, this will help inspire you to get fit, get outdoors more, and get out of your comfort zone by trying something new.
You’ll get pictures of yourself doing awesome adventurous things!
Add these adjectives to your identity: backpacker, hiker, camper, adventurer, traveler, explorer, and stargazer.
Backpacking allows you to access amazing places that most people will never get to. We go beyond where the road ends.
We go where others don’t, exploring unique destinations and the lesser-seen sides of popular places.
We strive to give back by leaving everywhere we go better than we found it and everyone we meet better than we found them.
We practice “Leave No Trace” principles on all our trips and work with local people and businesses as often as we can, reinvesting in the communities that make our adventures possible.
