Collaborative Travel Design Process

Our collaborative travel design process allows you to work hand-in-hand with a Travel Mentor as together you craft a life-changing travel experience. Along the way, you'll be invited to play an active role in the design of your itinerary and will be in constant communication with your Travel Mentor.

Hand-Crafted Itineraries

After you and your Travel Mentor have sketched out your perfect adventure, they'll get to work handcrafting your Journey. Our Travel Mentors work closely with trusted local accommodation providers, guides, and tour operators to ensure the perfect mixture of some of the classic experiences of each destination as well as a few secret, off-the-beaten-path adventures that most other travelers never get to experience!

Learn to 'Travel Like a Hero

In addition to helping build the perfect travel experience for you, your Travel Mentor will also guide and support you in 'Traveling Like a HERO' and making the most of your travel experience by engaging with you in a series of powerful conversations before, during, and after your Journey. 

Challenging Physical Adventures

We include physical adventures on almost all of our programs as a way to challenge you, push you beyond your comfort zones, allow you to see what you are truly capable of, open up channels of creativity, and of course have some fun while trying new activities.

Immersive Cultural Experiences

Travel and adventure are as much about culture as they are about physical activities, so we do our best to create opportunities for guests to experience the local culture in an authentic and meaningful way through cooking classes, home stays, meetings with local historians, and attending local spiritual ceremonies.

Time to Relax & Recharge

Going on adventures and experiencing new people and cultures with the group is great ... but so it having free time to explore on your own, enjoy a message or a spa treatment, read a book, or take a nap! As much as possible, we try to leave a few hours every day for you to do your own thing, whatever that may be. 

Healthy & Delicious Foods

Food nourishes the body just as the conversations we have on our adventures nourish the soul! On all of our programs, we do our best to offer the highest quality locally-sourced food, which helps to keep costs down, nutrition and taste up, and helps support local farmers and food producers.

Local Hotels & Tour Operators

We do our best to work with locally-owned and operated hotels and with local guides and/or tour operators as much as possible. Not only do they tend to offer better service and have more local knowledge, but doing so helps contribute to the local economy by keeping money in that destination, all of which are core parts of ...

Travel Sustainably

We do our best on every trip to minimize the impact our adventures have on both the local environment and the culture of the peoples and places we visit, while at the same time doing our best to ensure that we contribute to the local economy.
