Frequently Asked Questions

We don't do typical vacations. We curate immersive experiences that connect you deeply with local cultures, offbeat destinations, and boutique stays. Whether it's surprise trips, hands-on activities, or journeys into the unknown, we craft stories—not just itineraries.

We offer two types of curated experiences: • Adventure & Active Journeys – Ideal for those who love hikes, treks, and adrenaline-pumping experiences. • Immersive & Cultural Escapes – For those who enjoy deeper cultural interactions, local storytelling, and slow travel. We also design customized and surprise trips based on your preferences.

Just head over to our Contact or Plan a Trip page and tell us what kind of experience you're looking for. One of our travel curators will connect with you to design the perfect holiday—completely tailor-made.

Most of our journeys are customized, but we occasionally host fixed departure group experiences—often in collaboration with creators, experts, or community leaders. Follow us on Instagram or subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated.

In a surprise trip, you tell us your preferences (beaches or mountains? luxury or rustic? relaxed or active?)—and we take care of everything else.
