TRAVEL PLANNING - ADVENTURES & RELAXATION
Meet Ruthie: Your Guide to Life's Greatest Adventures
My Approach
Three decades of travel planning. Endless enthusiasm for your perfect getaway.
Based between Alaska’s dramatic landscapes and Washington State, I’ve developed an eye for beauty and adventure that spans from hidden local gems to exotic international destinations. Yes, living in Alaska taught me that sometimes the best travel companion is a sense of humor—especially when your midnight bathroom break involves a 20-yard trek to an outhouse in bear country!

Why I Do This
I believe your next chapter should be your best chapter, regardless of where you are in life’s journey. My perpetually young spirit (my son calls it “Peter Pan syndrome”—he’s not wrong!) helps me connect with adventurers of all ages. Who says you can’t go zip-lining at 50 or learn to cook pasta from scratch in Italy at 70?
Our Mission
Where I've Been, Where We Can Go
From pristine Hawaiian beaches to Thailand’s vibrant streets, Uganda’s wild heart to Greece’s ancient wonders, Ireland’s storied landscapes to Central America’s natural treasures—my wanderlust only grows stronger with each destination. This firsthand experience lets me craft authentic, immersive experiences for every traveler.
My Approach
My Approach
One day I’m arranging waterfall rappelling expeditions; the next, I’m curating the perfect itinerary for someone whose paradise is discovering local cafés with a good book. From luxury resorts to charming, off-the-beaten-path guesthouses, I believe the perfect trip looks different for everyone.
