What We Do
Life is short. Enjoy beautiful places and magical moments! Create memories! Time is valuable.
Wild places and true outdoor adventure and discovery. Many years in the making, many miles traveled in the wilderness. Our lives are stressful, we always have an agenda, we are under pressure to perform. We need to be on a schedule and be somewhere all the time. Time is a precious commodity in modern times.
On our tours we offer soul wellness, slowness, using your senses, drift on a river, smell, listen and see the wonders of nature and discover places and yourself with little luxuries, little surprises, be amazed, linger longer and learn to savor those moments. Being present, in the moment, in the now. It is this moment in time that counts.
We will enlighten you with little luxuries and surprises on our tours, such as natural hot springs, a shower in the middle of nowhere, pizzas in the outback, our favorite sunset spots, sleeping under the stars comfortably. Let time slip away and be in that moment.
We avoid bucket lists and crowded national parks. We seek unique places, quiet places, unknown places.
Sometimes when we step out of our comfort zone and try something new and we experience amazing things such as reaching a peak or paddling down a river, enjoying the silence, seeing wildlife in their natural habitat because we are in the right place a the right time. It puts a smile on everyone’s face and we share that moment and will remember it. Seeing that moment of bliss on peoples faces is why I do this and I keep doing this as long as I can. I like to give back to places we travel to with charity giving and leave positivity by partnering with local charity organizations empowering women, conservation and promoting sustainability. We don’t stay in large luxury hotels or resorts. We stay with the locals, we stay in small locally owned hotels, lodges and we camp. Giving back to the communities we visit is our mission and passion.

To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from. Terry Tempest Williams
