Follow curiosity, not crowds
One-of-a-kind outdoor adventure tours to the Algarve's wild West coast & magical Costa Vicentina Natural Park.

Journey there with me and discover Western Europe's last remaining coastal wilderness on a handcrafted, full-sensory outdoor experience that will leave you inspired, refreshed, rewarded... and your belly full.
Did I mention dinner under the stars?
Catch ya on the West side!

Launching from Lagos, Portugal
One-of-a-kind hiking adventure tours to the Algarve's wild West Coast and historic End of the World
Forget everything you know about guided tours...
I create active, educational, unconventional outdoor experiences that blend movement, action, and discovery with space for wonder, reflection, appreciation & surprise, and are full of laughter, learning, stories, music, food, wine & more.
I choose wilderness & remoteness over guidebook tourist destinations; intentional, mindful travel over superficial sightseeing; interaction & collaboration over passive following-along; discovery & learning opportunities over photo opportunities; rustic, physical experiences over easy, mass-market ones.
My aim is simple and sincere: To share a travel experience that's not just fun, but meaningful; not just good for us, but good for the world; not just a social media moment, but a memory for life.
But don't just take my word for it...
"Unique, surprising, and beautiful... one of the most remarkable outdoor travel experiences I’ve had. T.J. was brilliant at bringing the group together, and the way he ended the evening was wonderful and creative. I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly."

Today, I traveled to the end of the world. My heart is so full it's bursting. It has been the most incredible experience.

What a special experience. It was far from just a hike. It was a learning experience, both intellectually and spiritually. Trust me. Do it.

Was really surprised how a shared experience of nature can make a group of strangers feel as though they've known each other forever.
