Blueprints for Great Trips
Solid outlines you can shape—country combos, duration, and experiences are all customizable.
Customize Your Journey
Think of these itineraries as starting ideas—clean frameworks we shape to your style, dates, and budget. We adjust the pace (easy mornings or full days), the routing (add, swap, or skip stops), hotel level (boutique to luxe), and the daily focus (culture, food, wellness, soft adventure, family-first).
- Pace & routing: add extra nights where you’ll love them; trim or swap stops to fit your interests.
- Stays: choose boutique gems or top-tier resorts; set room types and views.
- Focus & experiences: cooking classes, village workshops, ethical wildlife visits, cycling/hikes, private boats, spa or yoga.
- Season & timing: match routes to weather/sea conditions and time headline sights to avoid peak crowds.
We also handle dietary needs, mobility considerations, and special occasions. Traveling with kids or a mixed group? We’ll match walking and activity levels to your comfort, build in pool time, and keep transfers sensible.
How it works: Share your dates and priorities. We send a clear first draft, then refine together—tightening flow, swapping experiences, and confirming the right hotels. Before you go, you’ll have a day-by-day plan with contacts and local tips, plus on-trip support if plans need to pivot. It’s your trip—made smooth and true to your style.

Northern Vietnam Adventure
12 Days – High passes, border markets, waterfalls, rice-terrace valleys, and a quiet night among limestone islets.
This is Northern Vietnam at ground level: terrace hikes with Hmong and Dao communities around the far north, the Ma Pi Leng canyon on the Ha Giang Loop, Ban Gioc Waterfall on the China border, stilt-house villages and bamboo rafts in Pu Luong, and a softer finish on the water around Cat Ba/Lan Ha Bay. Expect active days (light–moderate hiking most days), village time with local guides, and scenic drives that connect the mountains to the coast without rushing past the good stuff.
We keep groups small, work with vetted community partners, and handle practicals that matter here—border-zone permits, respectful photo/house-entry etiquette, and route choices that dodge crowd spikes. If you want more trail time or fewer homestays, we’ll tune it.

Thailand Adventure – 12 Days
Temples, mountain air, rainforest lake, and Andaman bays—Bangkok to Chiang Mai to Krabi with an overnight on Cheow Lan.
This route strings together Thailand’s big contrasts without the rush: river temples and canal backroads in Bangkok, Lanna heritage and hill-country days around Chiang Mai, a quiet night floating on Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok, and island time on the Andaman. It’s balanced—headline sights, local flavor, and space for markets, coffee stops, and sunsets that don’t feel hurried.
We handle the simple stuff that makes a difference: temple etiquette and timing, crowd-dodging boat runs, and private transfers that keep momentum without long hauls. Add-ons slot in cleanly—ethical elephant time (no riding), a guided food crawl, a Muay Thai evening, or a private long-tail to hidden coves—so you can make it yours.

Route: Bangkok → Chiang Mai → Khao Sok (Cheow Lan Lake) → Krabi / Koh Lanta → Phuket (depart) Pace: Moderate — city energy, hill country, rainforest lake overnight, and beach time

Singapore Stopover
Skyscrapers to shophouses—Singapore in one compact sweep: Marina Bay icons, heritage lanes, and jungle-in-the-city green.
Singapore works beautifully as a stopover: compact, efficient, and packed with contrast. Think riverfront skylines, hawker centers serving benchmark dishes, temple courtyards tucked into historic neighborhoods, and world-class green spaces that feel surprisingly wild for a city this polished.
This flexible plan scales to your time. With a single day, you’ll circle Marina Bay and dip into the hawker scene. With two, add heritage quarters and night-time wildlife. With three, fold in coastal views or a day on Sentosa—or go the other way and chase nature on the Southern Ridges or a bike loop on Pulau Ubin. We keep it easy—well-timed starts, private transfers where they help, and short walks threaded through the best bits.
