Hi, I’m Claire! My love for the outdoors started long before I made it my career. Whether it was hiking through the wilderness or biking along the coast, I’ve always believed that the best experiences are the ones that connect people to nature. Over the years, my passion has led me to create active travel experiences for thousands of adventurers, and I couldn’t be more grateful to share my love for the outdoors with others.
Professionally, I’ve worked in various roles in the outdoor and travel industries, including as a trip leader for Backroads, a product developer for evoTrip, and a program director at Iconic Adventures. I’ve designed and led trips across the U.S., Europe, and South America, and I specialize in curating unique, culturally immersive experiences that push boundaries and transform travelers. From developing bike tours to managing luxury adventure programs, my expertise spans a wide range of destinations and travel types.
One of my most memorable trips was a hike on the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland. It’s a magical trail that winds through volcanic landscapes, glaciers, and steaming hot springs. There’s something about the combination of stunning scenery and the physical challenge that made it truly unforgettable. I was fortunate enough to experience it with a fantastic group, which made the adventure even more special. For me, it was a perfect balance of nature, challenge, and camaraderie.
