Jim King

Founder & Travel Curator

When I'm not crafting bespoke travel experiences, you might find me sipping a caramel latte, lost in a fantasy novel, or exploring a local dive bar. Yes, I know it sounds cliché, but hey, even travel agents need a little R&R.

​

My background in project management has equipped me with the skills to plan and execute even the most complex itineraries meticulously.

 

With an eye for detail and a passion for adventure, I'm committed to creating unforgettable journeys tailored to you.

​

So whether you're dreaming of a sun-soaked escape, a cultural immersion, or a thrilling adventure, I'm here to make your travel dreams a reality. Let's embark on your next great adventure together.

Michelle Vaugters

Travel Curator &  Remarkable Wine Expert

My happy place is around a beach bonfire, under a starry sky, surrounded by close friends, music, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
 

As the daughter of a pilot, I was born with wanderlust. I grew up hearing stories and collecting treasures from faraway places, sparking my belief that the world is a playground meant to be explored.
 

I've always been drawn to authentic experiences, local vibes, and hidden gems. As a former tour guide, I loved helping travelers connect with the soul of each destination.
 

Working at a winery in New Zealand deepened my passion for wine, and I hold a WSET Level 3 Certification. Wine has a unique way of bringing people together, sparking conversation, and fostering cultural understanding.
 

What excites me most is designing tailor-made adventures that align with your personal tastes and interests—creating unique, unforgettable experiences just for you.
