The new bucket-list trip? Walking there.

Some of the most incredible trips right now trade airports and train stations for trails, tiny towns and a really good pair of shoes. Think hut-to-hut through the Dolomites, following ancient pilgrimage routes across Japan, walking a stretch of Spain’s Camino de Santiago or trekking past glaciers in Patagonia.

And you definitely don’t have to walk 500 miles to do it. I can build an itinerary around your pace, comfort level and how many days you actually want to spend on the trail, then handle the hotels, luggage transfers, shuttles and everything in between.

Consider this your sign to take the scenic route. Send me a message or email at [email protected] to plan your perfect walking holiday.
