Life is an adventure, not a package tour!
Participatory, experiential small group travel, that allows you to see places from a new perspective! We take care of the logistics without leading you around or scheduling all your meals or activities, allowing you to experience a place more independently.
Upcoming Trips
These are the "green" Greek islands, in a more protected sea than the open Aegean. More than just beaches, these more livable islands have hikes, waterfalls, cave lakes, and Greek villages.
Two great islands just eight miles apart, one part of France, the other part of Italy, yet semi-autonomous with independent cultures! In between lie the beautiful islands of the protected La Maddalena Reserve.
A love for travel, and a career in the business, led to my obtaining captain's licenses in Greece and Croatia, and taking friends sailing around the world for more than 20 years.
My Philosophy
To offer participatory, experiential travel off the beaten path of mass tourism for those who want a more immersive or active vacation. To not schedule every hour or where you eat, allowing you to experience a place more freely.
“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”

A 'slow travel' sentiment that is true anywhere:
"If you only have a week or so in Italy my advice is not to try to see too much. Rather settle into one region and savour the nuances and rhythms of life in your chosen corner." -- Andrew Smith, My Italy
