Travel the way you want

Active personal holiday specialist
Unchartered Travel
No time to figure everything out yourself, but still looking for a unique travel experience?
I help adventurous travelers who want more than a standard vacation. A journey that takes you to places no other tourists go, with routes through rugged nature, over mountain passes, or along secluded coastlines – and where the food is local, fresh, and delicious.
No massive destinations, but (undiscovered) gems in countries like Spain, the US, and Canada. I've personally visited all the regions I offer multiple times—or even lived there.
Together we'll create an unforgettable active trip. Hiking, cycling, nature, and culture, exactly the way you want it. You tell me what you're looking for, and I'll take care of the rest – quickly, personally, and with a passion for the country.
✨ Active travel for people who have little time but want to experience a lot.

About me
Traveling has never been an escape. It's coming home to unfamiliar places .
My first trip began on my 15th birthday. Not with a racing bike or a strict plan, but on an old police bike, with two friends, right across southern England. Since then, travel has never left me. Backpacking through Australia, by train across Europe ("interrailing"), by car through Canada and the USA, by bus to Austria, hut-to-hut hikes in the Alps and the Pyrenees. Alone, as a couple, with the family; I've tried every form of travel. What has always driven me is to travel differently. Off the beaten track. No resorts or tourist traps, but that island that isn't in the brochure, that hike that only locals know about, and above all: I wanted to arrange it myself!
