Meet Lindsay
Short version:
I believe that travel allows us to see the world through a different lens, helping us understand ourselves and each other on a deeper level.
The ripple effect of these connections creates compassion, and that compassion has the power to change the world.
My promise is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and free to be yourself --while having fun along the way!
I'm passionate about building community, connecting with people from around the world, exploring new places and teaching movement.
I'm highly detail-oriented, yet I have the unique ability to "ride the wave" of travel.
It's my gift; to quickly understand what the group needs and adapt accordingly.
Long version:
In 1998, my love for travel took off, driven by an endless curiosity about different places and cultures.
This passion quickly turned into leading hiking, caving, and service-learning programs in my local area.
One of the most transformative experiences in my life was spending 75 days living in the wilderness of Alaska during an intense outdoor leadership course.
By 2003, I was organizing multi-week adventure programs for groups in the U.S. and abroad, allowing me to live and travel all over the world.
I was a sea-kayaking guide in St. John, USVI, an English teacher in South Korea, a service-learning instructor in Ecuador and so much more.
Eventually, this path led me to design and run international programs for thousands of students at Broadreach, a well-known study abroad company.
I feel grateful to have been a part of so many life-changing experiences for participants all these years!
Some of my most cherished travel memories include:
-Trekking and drinking tea in villages in Nepal
-Dancing to ring in the New Year with my river guide's family in Chile
-Attending a celebratory feast with monks in Thailand
-White water rafting the Karamea in New Zealand
-Watching my then-toddlers perform in the Dia de Guanacaste ceremony at their school in Costa Rica
