Hi, I’m Dehn—trail runner, filmmaker, father of five, and lifelong adventurer. I grew up in Lake Tahoe, where backcountry routes and alpine lakes were part of daily life. That love for wild places inspired me to launch Vacation Races, a running event series near national parks—and later, Global Adventures, where I designed multi-day travel experiences that combined endurance, cultural immersion, and unforgettable landscapes.

I’ve led ultramarathons through the desert, family backpacking trips in Yosemite, and youth groups into the wilderness to show them what they’re capable of. My goal? Help people reconnect with nature, reset their perspectives, and walk away with stories they’ll never forget. Whether you’re chasing big summits, planning your first park trip, or navigating the world with your kids in tow—I’m here to help.

Hi, I’m Emily! My love for the outdoors started in college with weekend day hikes and photography—and quickly snowballed into something much bigger. I’ve thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, trekked Patagonia’s O Circuit, and explored hundreds of miles of backcountry in the Sierra.

For 6 years, I worked at REI helping people prep for adventures big and small—whether they were gearing up for the John Muir Trail or just starting to car camp. These days, I focus on helping solo travelers, especially women and older adventurers, feel more confident planning their own long-distance hikes and nature-forward getaways. I am currently based in San Francisco, and can help with any urban adventure as well.

Whether you’re dreaming about Yosemite’s Half Dome, the Trans-Catalina Trail, or hiking your first few miles on a longer route—I’d love to help you get there.

Hi, I’m Kim! I bring decades of experience guiding and designing travel around the world—as an active travel guide leading hiking and biking trips across Europe, working at a scuba dive shop in Indonesia, and an international meetings and events planner. I’ve led travelers through Tuscany’s hill towns, the Swiss Alps’ hidden trails, Ireland’s coastal peninsulas, and Australia’s rainforests—and helped first-time adventurers feel at home around the world.

Today, I bring that wealth of experience into personalized trip design for travelers seeking deeper connection—to a place, to themselves, and to the spirit of exploration. Whether you’re planning a multigenerational journey, a solo trip for self-discovery, or your first big hiking or biking adventure, I’m here to help you feel prepared, confident, and inspired.

In addition to my regional expertise, I can also help travelers navigate broader Europe with ease—offering guidance on everything from hidden train routes to unforgettable local stops across the continent.

I also have a master's degree in nutrition and have a background in art, psychology,  and holistic wellness—which means I care deeply about designing trips that feel good on every level, not just the itinerary.
