The path,
so far.
A one-person, one-conversation-at-a-time practice — built around how travel is actually supposed to feel.
Mossy Road Travel Co. began at a threshold I didn't see coming — a season of needing to come back to myself, and travel becoming the way it happened.
I'd spent years planning trips for friends and friends-of-friends — the kinds of trips that sit a little outside the search results, the ones that asked something of the traveller and gave something back. People kept coming back changed in small ways. Quieter. More themselves. After enough of those, the work asked to become a practice.
What I do now is small on purpose. I plan one journey at a time, with one human being on the other end of the conversation. We talk about the place, the season, what they're carrying, what they want to set down. I take my time on the design. They take their time on the road.
The places I plan are the ones I know — by foot, by season, by the kind of familiarity that comes from sleeping in the rain and waking up in the same village twice. That's the short list, and it grows slowly. If somewhere isn't on it yet, it might be — but I'd rather tell you I don't know it well than pretend I do.
About the kind of travel
that's worth taking.
- i.
Travel can be a kind of return. The best journeys don't take you somewhere new — they bring you back to a self you'd been moving too fast to notice.
- ii.
The land is the teacher. A trip is shaped by ground, season, and weather — not by what's marketable. The work is to choose the right ones, then step out of the way.
- iii.
Slow is a practical choice, not a luxury one. Long, looping itineraries with empty days built in are how you actually feel a place. Tight schedules and bucket lists make every place feel the same.
- iv.
Sacred without dogma. A lot of meaningful travel touches the spiritual — the thresholds, the pilgrimages, the rooms where it's quiet. I make space for that without forcing it. People bring what they bring.
- v.
Inclusion is non-negotiable. Every person, every life-stage, every chosen family. I plan for solo travellers, for women in transition, for queer folks, for parents and elders, for anyone who wants the path more than the postcard.
Three doorways
into the same practice.
Custom journey planning
I design the trip; you travel it.
A discovery conversation, then a trip designed around the kind of attention you're carrying. I handle the route, the stays, the people on the ground, the rhythm. Support before, during, and after.
For: solo wanderers, couples, families, friends. Most journeys are 1–3 weeks.
Guided journeys
I travel with you — when the trip calls for that.
For some trips, the right kind of company is a person who knows the ground. I'll come along — solo, with a couple, or with a small chosen-family group — when the destination, the moment, or the human asks for it.
By arrangement, in seasons that align. Limited availability.
Hosted retreats
Multi-day immersive gatherings in specific places.
Threshold retreats, women's circles, seasonal pilgrimages, gatherings for life transitions. Not yet running — when the first dates are set, they'll be on this site and the journal first.
If this calls to you, write — early signal helps shape what's next.
If something here is asking,
begin a conversation.
Tell me where you're imagining — or what's pulling, even if you don't have a place yet. I'll come back with thoughts.
