Travel better. Together.
I run small, thoughtfully designed trips around the world, led by people who actually know the places we go. You won’t find big buses, packed itineraries, or surface-level experiences here. Instead, we slow things down, go a little off track, and make space for the kind of moments you can’t plan.
Some days will be easy. Some won’t. That’s part of it.
Because the best trips aren’t just about where you go. They’re about what happens when you’re a little outside your comfort zone, surrounded by people who showed up for the same reason you did.
And somewhere along the way, you might realize:
Friends are the best souvenirs.
It all began in 2020…
When the pandemic squashed all our travel plans, I spent a lot of time day-dreaming up all the bucket list adventures I’d go on once borders reopened.
Craving human connection and a good time, I wondered if anyone else might want to join me on a week-long sailing trip in Greece. When I opened the opportunity up to my small Instagram community, it sold out in minutes.
Since then, I’ve been organizing and leading my own group trips around the world. I work with communities where I’ve made connections over the past decade of solo travels, crafting unique experiences that feature local knowledge and adventures you’ll remember for a lifetime.
My goal has always been for this to feel like a group of friends traveling together—I just happen to be the one who handles all the details.
These are not budget trips. They are very unique, thoughtful adventures that allow small groups to connect with locals and their traditions in authentic interactions.
So now, I’m making it official.
I’ve already built a network of travelers who love belly laughing their way through an adventure. These connections have lasted beyond the final day of the trip. From wedding invites to maternity ward visits, what started as a chance for a fun holiday has grown into a community of adventure-loving friends.
From summiting Mount Kenya to kayaking in Greece, I’ve run adventures in over eight countries on three separate continents. The best surprise? How many travelers returned again and again to ask: where are we going next?
So if you came here looking for your next—or maybe your first!— adventure…

Hey, I’m Monet
I’m a solo adventurer and storyteller who has been running trips around the world since 2021.
In 2026, I became the first American woman to ski solo & unsupported to the South Pole. This was a 57-day journey that took me through whiteouts, ferocious winds and generally really tough times.
But don’t worry, my trips are a lot more fun. My forte is creating comfortable environments where travelers feel safe to get a bit out of their comfort zone, all while making friendships along the way.
