    Trip Style:

    Hiking & Paddling with Kids, and with Friends

    Brenda is my guru for trip planning; sometimes for rough inspiration and sometimes for meticulous planning. I have undertaken several trips under Brenda’s guidance, and her years of travel and backcountry experience make her well adept at providing carefully researched and unique experiences thoughtfully catered to my wish-list for the experience.

     

    The recommendations she’s given me for my family are completely different from those for a solo or experienced trip, yet the suggestions are always considerate of all trip participants and nuanced to each members interests and personality. She makes sure there are highlights for each individual.

     

    I can always trust Brenda to respect my safety and skill level, while recognizing my need for adventure and challenge.

     

    Ultimately, it always feels like Brenda’s goal is helping others fall as in love with the outdoors as herself, and to feel the confidence and exhilaration that travel can bring.

    Backcountry Hiking & Paddling Trips

    I have done many multi-day backcountry trips with Brenda over the past years including hiking the 1861 Gold Rush Pack Trail, the Skyline Trail, and multi-day paddle-boarding trips in Wells Gray Provincial Park. Brenda has played a key role in planning and organizing the groups to get these trips to happen. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of planning including gear to bring, cooking in the back country, navigation, and emergency communication. I always feel confident when I go on a trip with Brenda that it will work out and be a fantastic time.

    Active International Travel

     

    I recently embarked on an extraordinary adventure to Jordan with The Adventure Concierge, and it was truly life-changing. The journey provided an immense learning experience, immersing in new cultures, histories, and landscapes. From vibrant cities to ancient ruins and natural wonders, I experienced a constant state of both awe and humility. Stepping out of my comfort zone allowed me to see the world through a different lens and appreciate the remarkable hospitality and kindness of the people. Learning about new cultures challenged my perspectives, opening my eyes to the complexity of our global community. This experience exceeded my expectations and I wholeheartedly recommend The Adventure Concierge for an unforgettable journey.
