Come explore with me!

Join me in an exciting adventure of fun and culture around the world while making a difference. I will be your personal guide to fun, adventure and personal reward, leading you as part of a small group in a meaningful humanitarian project and then on an exciting multi-sport adventure that will bring you even closer to the land and the people.

You'll know your guide, because each trip will be personally led by me, while employing local providers to ensure a truly sustainable and socially responsible experience.

inside/out is committed to sustainable and responsible travel practices. You can view our responsible travel policy here: Responsible Travel

Why Choose inside/out?

• You'll have the best of both worlds with structure and flexibility. Days will be planned and led for you while evenings will remain free for you to explore and enjoy on your own.
 
• A portion of your trip cost is designated to help the project and people you will be visiting and working with. Trip costs are all-inclusive for the land portion, covering everything except dinners so that you can explore local cuisine on your own. You know in advance how much the trip will cost you.
 
• Your participation in projects is welcomed, meaningful and tangibly engaging. We work with projects that genuinely need our help. We are actively participating, not just visiting or "sightseeing" through a project, working side by side with members of the community on our projects.
 
• You will have the opportunity to truly get to know and experience the area and the people, concentrating your stay in one or two areas rather than skipping around to many different places with no time for connection.
 

• Our socially responsible travel includes comfortable locally or family owned and/or culturally significant accommodations.
 

We are proud members of the International EcoTourism Society, Sierra Club, the American Hiking Society, the Colorado Mountain Club and American Society of Media Photographers.
