40 tabs.
200 saved posts. Three spreadsheets. Hours of research from influencers who got paid to love it and have no idea how you like to travel. Planning is exhausting. Let me do it. Close the tabs. I'll plan around how you travel, not what's trending.
Five ways to get outside
Pick your outside.
Every trip is built around how you actually like to travel. Most land in one of these. The best ones borrow from two.
02 / FOODIE
Foodie Outside
Eat your way there.
Wine regions, markets, cooking classes, and the tasting menu worth the flight.
03 / CULTURE
Culture Outside
Get to know the place.
History, architecture, art, neighborhoods, and traditions you'd never find from a listicle.
04 / CRUISE
Cruise Outside
Let the journey be part of the destination.
Ocean liners, expedition ships, river cruises through Europe's old towns, and floating boutique hotels. Unpack once.
05 / BEACH & LEISURE
Beach & Leisure Outside
Get away.
All-inclusives, resorts, pools, spa days, private transfers. Zero pressure to "do" anything.
How it works
From "we should go" to wheels up.
- STEP 01
Tell me about your trip
Start with the trip planning form. Once I've reviewed it, we'll talk live for 20 minutes about who's going, when, the budget, and what outside means to you this time.
- STEP 02
Your Trip Blueprint
Hand-picked options, side by side, with the trade-offs spelled out. Custom every time, never copy and paste.
- STEP 03
I book it
Hotels, domestic flights, transfers, tables, tickets. Plus, through Fora, my host agency, I can often add perks like room upgrades, daily breakfast and hotel credits you wouldn't get booking on your own.
- STEP 04
Your itinerary
A day-by-day guide that reads like a travel magazine. Then you go outside.

Tell me what outside looks like.
Start with a quick trip planning form: who's going, when, your budget, and the vibe. It takes about five minutes, and I'll take it from there.
Help me decide
Not sure where yet? Start here.
Four quick questions. Three destinations, picked for you.
See the world. Touch some grass. Keep the AC.The point of view
Premium travel without the pretentiousness. I'll tell you where to splurge, where to save, and what looks great online but isn't worth your morning.
Adventure without unnecessary discomfort. Luxury without the stuffiness.
Travel with me
Get outside with me.
Trips I've planned and am personally joining. Go somewhere new on your own terms, with a group there when you want one. Alaska by sea is booking now for July 2028, with Peru (July 4th, 2027) and Albania (September 2027) coming soon.
Hi, I'm Valicia
I've been outside. A lot.
40+ countries on 6 continents, and most of what I recommend I've done myself. That's how I know which hotel is worth it, which tour to skip, and when the sunrise is actually worth the alarm.
What to expect
How I work.
Built just for you
Every custom trip includes a planning fee that covers the research, sourcing and insider know-how behind a trip designed from scratch around you.
A few great options
I do the narrowing before anything reaches you, so you're choosing between a handful of strong picks, not sifting through dozens. Then we fine-tune it together.
Booked with confidence
Once you've chosen your favorite, I lock it in right away to secure the best rate and room. The details live in your planning agreement, so there are no surprises.
Ready to get outside?
Your trip. Your way. My expertise.
Fill out the trip planning form (about five minutes) and bring your wish list, your dates, or just a vibe. I'll review it and reach out to schedule your 20-minute live consult.
