Hey there, traveler! Since 2013, I have been crafting, refining, & sharing one-of-a-kind hiking adventures to the Algarve's wild West coast & historic End of the World, one small batch at a time. My approach is unconventional: I create hands-on, full-sensory outdoor experiences that blend movement, action, and discovery with space for wonder, reflection, education, and surprise, then I sprinkle it all with laughter, stories, music, food, and wine. I choose wilderness & remoteness over guidebook tourist destinations; intentional, mindful travel over superficial sightseeing; discovery & learning opportunities over photo opportunities; and rustic, physical experiences over easy, mass-market ones. My aim is simple & sincere: To share a travel experience that's not just fun, but meaningful; not just good for us, but good for the world; not just a social-media moment, but a memory for life.
