Welcome to my collection of the world's best, most unique, and action packed travel itineraries. You'll primarily find 3 to 5 day plans - that mix curated itinerary and trip report - through exhilarating less-traveled and off-the-beaten-path locations, that I have developed and enjoyed. They can be standalone trips or part of a larger trip. Most are fast-paced, so add an extra day or two if you have the time.

Immersive, one-of-a-kind natural scenery and archaeological sights unlike anywhere else
Below is what I value in my trips - if this resonates with you, you'll probably enjoy these itineraries:
- Beautiful natural scenery - ideally one-of-a-kind on Earth
- Unique culture - unique traditions, archaeology, architecture, etc.
- Good food - highlighting local ingredients or traditions
- Hiking or biking opportunity - ideally challenging
- Limited driving - I’ll drive out of necessity, not because I enjoy it
- Unique transportation - usable public transit is the dream, and it’s fun to ride ferries or fly on props
- A bed to sleep in each night - I don’t like camping
- Compact - I can build an efficient itinerary
- Quality over quantity - Clean over large hotels, good ingredients over large portions, etc.
- Good value - Enjoyable on a budget of $20/day for food, $150/night for hotel, $60/day for rental car & gas if needed; transport costs are reasonable
