still creased from the road

Itineraries built from the notebook, not the internet.

Every recommendation comes from a trip I actually took — the café I circled twice, the trail I almost skipped, the detour that became the whole point. I turn those notes into a trip made for you.

WHY NOTES, NOT LISTS

Guidebooks tell you what's there. Notebooks tell you what mattered.

I've spent the last several years traveling and writing everything down by hand — the restaurant that wasn't in any guide, the bus that never came. Most of it never makes it online.

Adventure Unwrapped turns those notebooks into itineraries. Not a scraped list of "top ten" attractions, but a route shaped by a real trip, adjusted to fit yours: your pace, your budget, your version of a good day.

You tell me what you're after. I hand you a plan with the fog, the wrong turns, and the good stuff already worked out.

SAMPLE ITINERARIES

A few trips from the notebook

Each of these started as a real trip. Ask for one as-is, or use it as a starting point for something built entirely around you.

India

Sunset over the water in India The Taj Mahal framed by a red sandstone archway Rooftop view over an Indian city at dusk Amber Fort courtyard with the hills behind
Culture & historySlow travelOff the guidebook

"Watched the sun drop into the lake, then caught the Taj at golden hour two days later — still the best 48 hours of the trip."

Thailand

Floating market on the river in Thailand Sunset over the sea from a hillside hut A market cook stirring curry over a wood fire Longtail boat beneath limestone cliffs
Slow travelNatureCulture

"Ate breakfast at a floating market, then watched the sun drop into the sea from a hut on the hill. That was the whole day, and it was enough."

Australia

Uluru at dusk with the moon rising A sailboat on turquoise water in the Whitsundays A koala and joey in a eucalyptus tree Wallaman Falls dropping into a rainforest gorge

"Watched the moon rise over Uluru as the light went red, then spent a week chasing waterfalls and koalas up the coast."

HOW IT WORKS

From your dream trip to a plan you'll actually follow

No templates, no auto-generated lists — every itinerary is put together by hand, from real notes.

1

Tell me the trip you're after

Fill in the request below — where you're drawn to, your dates, your pace, your budget. Takes about three minutes.

2

I draft it from real notes

I pull from trips I've actually taken and build a day-by-day plan shaped around what you told me — not a generic list.

3

We refine it together

You get a draft, we adjust anything that's off, and you leave with an itinerary that's actually yours.

START YOUR TRIP

Request your itinerary

A few questions, then I'll get back to you personally — usually within a couple of days.

✈️

Where are you drawn to?

A country, a region, or just a feeling — "somewhere slow and coastal" works fine.

The practical details

This just helps me shape the plan to fit.

What's your type of trip?

e.g. culture, relaxation, party — pick as many as fit.

Anything else I should know?

Must-dos, must-avoids, dietary needs, mobility considerations — whatever matters.
