Where I Can Help

If you’re planning an adventure in any of the following regions, I can help you:

📍 Iceland – Southern Highlands

I’ve led adventure trips through Iceland’s most stunning landscapes, from volcanic highlands to glacial valleys. Whether you’re looking for multi-day treks, hot spring soaks, or scenic road trip stops, I can help you plan an unforgettable journey.

📍 Peru – The Inca Trail

Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and preparation is key. I can help with trail logistics, permits, altitude tips, and the best ways to train for the trek.

📍 New Zealand – North & South Islands

I’ve guided multi-sport trips through both islands, exploring everything from fjords and glaciers to remote coastlines. Whether you’re looking for the best treks, paddling routes, or off-the-beaten-path stops, I can offer personalized advice.

📍 Colombia – The Andes & Beyond

I’ve spent time across Cali, Medellín, Guatapé, Cartagena, and the coffee region of Salento. Whether you want hiking, cultural experiences, or insider local tips, I can help you craft a trip that balances adventure with authentic experiences.

📍 Canada – Torngat Mountains

This remote northern wilderness is unlike any other. If you’re considering a trip to one of Canada’s wildest landscapes, I can help with logistics and preparation.

📍 Slovenia – Julian Alps

A hidden gem of Europe, the Julian Alps offer some of the best hiking in the region. I can help you navigate the best trails around Bled, Ljubljana, and Bohinj.

My Favorite Adventures

🏕️ Iceland’s Remote Treks – Nothing beats the feeling of hiking through volcanic landscapes and ending the day in a natural hot spring.

⛰️ New Zealand’s Backcountry – From fjords to glaciers, I love helping people discover New Zealand’s wildest places.

🎒 The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu – One of the most rewarding treks I’ve led, full of history, culture, and incredible scenery.

Katie was incredible. She understood perfectly what I needed, provided multiple options for me to explore and answered all my questions. Thanks Katie I feel so much better, clearer and exited about my trip after speaking with you. Without your guidance I would have been totally lost.
