CURIOSITY

NOT THE CROWDS

Off-the-beaten-path adventures to the Algarve's wild West coast & historic End of the World.

WALKING, HIKING & OUTDOOR ADVENTURE TOURS  -  LAGOS, ALGARVE, PORTUGAL

Journeys of discovery for body, mind, soul & stomach ;)

Hey there, traveler!

Discover the Algarve's wild side on a one-of-a-kind adventure to the Algarve-s magical & mystical Costa Vicentina Nature Reserve, a.k.a. the "West Coast." 

This is not the Algarve you expected: This is her wild West coast, a land far from the typical crowded beaches & tourist sights of the Algarve.

And this is not a typical tour: This is an interactive, full-sensory, hands-on outdoor experience designed to activate the body, quiet the mind, energize the soul & satisfy the stomach...

Did I mention the one-of-a-kind sunset foodie experience to finish the day?

 

So, ready for something different? Let's Go West!

Forget everything you know about guided tours...

My tour is unique:

I create outdoor experiences that blend movement, action, & discovery with space for wonder, reflection & appreciation. Then, I pile them high with laughter, learning, & play and finish them off with a one-of-a-kind sunset eating experience.

My approach is my own:

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; improvisation & flexibility over checklist traveling; rustic, physical experiences over easy, mass-market ones.

My aim is simple and sincere:

I hope to share a travel experience that's not just fun, but meaningful; not just good for you, but good for the world; not just a social media moment, but a memory for life.

"A beautifully curated experience. From the locations and hike, to the food and wonderful company, every aspect has been so carefully considered... I’ve been traveling to Portugal for over ten years and this is hands down the best experience I have had there! I highly, highly recommend!"

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

@sunsetsandcoconuts

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

@matt.ryall

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