Hi, I am Tess

Psychologist. Tour guide. Writer. World traveller.
I’ve spent most of the last 7 years living, working and guiding across 12+ countries: from the chaotic streets of Bangkok to the calm peaks of the Pyrenees.

I’ve seen what happens when people chase freedom the wrong way: burnout, chaos, disconnection.

That’s why I don’t just plan trips. I design experiences that fit who you are.

Because travel should expand you, not exhaust you.
