Personalized Trip Design

As a self-proclaimed trip planning and logistics nerd, I specialize in helping people design their dream hiking and backpacking trips - the kind that are the perfect combination of fun, intentional, and truly unforgettable.

​

I’ve worked in the BC outdoor recreation industry for over a decade, planning and supporting a wide range of adventures. From road trips with scenic day hikes and meaningful stops, to long-distance thru-hikes spanning months, to luxury, BC-based heli-skiing experiences, I know what it takes to turn an idea into a well-executed journey.

​

If you have a trail, route, or adventure in mind and want expert support with itinerary design, permits, packing lists, logistics, and transportation, let’s connect.

Backpacking Trip Design

Backpacking Trip Design is for hikers who want expert support turning an idea into a well-planned adventure. Whether it’s your first overnight or a bucket-list backcountry route, I help shape a trip that fits your experience and goals — so you can step onto the trail feeling prepared and confident.
 

  • Route and itinerary design (daily mileage, camps, alternates)

  • Permit research and application guidance

  • Packing lists tailored to trip + experience level

  • Logistics (transport, resupply, trailheads)

  • Risk considerations + contingency planning

Thru-Hike Logistics & Planning

Preparing for a thru-hike can be both incredibly exciting and nerve-wracking. Drawing on my personal thru-hiking experiences on the Pacific Crest Trail and Great Divide Trail, I help you plan the big picture and the fine details.

​

  • Macro and micro itinerary planning

  • Seasonal timing and permit strategy

  • Resupply, town stops, and transport logistics

  • Gear optimization and pack weight considerations

  • Mental preparation and expectation setting

Road Trip Design

Road Trip Design is for travellers who want a fun, easygoing adventure without the stress of planning. From scenic drives and great day hikes to memorable stops along the way, I help create road trips that flow well and leave plenty of room for spontaneity.

​

  • Custom route planning with daily pacing in mind

  • Recommended hikes, stops, and rest days

  • Accommodation and campground suggestions

  • Seasonal considerations and regional insights

  • Optional packing and gear guidance

Trail Confidence Session

The Trail Confidence Session is a one-on-one consultation for new hikers or hikers working on their confidence that want clarity, reassurance, or a second set of experienced eyes. If you’ve got a seed of an idea, or have already started planning but feel stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed - we can go over:

​

  • Review of your trail or trip idea

  • Permit, logistics, and safety Q&A

  • Gear and packing list feedback

  • Skill gaps and confidence-building guidance

  • Clear next steps to move forward

  • 30-60 min 1:1 consultation

Much of the trail information and stories shared here are born from lands now referred to as North America, that have been cared for by Indigenous Peoples for generations. I offer this acknowledgement with gratitude, respect, and an ongoing commitment to learning.
