Patagonia, with Forest Barkdoll-Weil.
I spent fourteen years as a creative director, learning to see. How an image holds you, what to leave out, why one frame stops you and another doesn't. Most people are moving too fast to use that.
Somewhere along the way I started pointing that eye at animals instead of brands. Wild horses across the American West, at first, because I couldn't not. Eventually I built a company around it, telling the stories of animals and the people fighting to protect them.

Forest alongside you throughout. Not teaching from the front, but exploring alongside you. Curious about the same questions. Looking for the same stories. Trying to understand the same landscape. You’ll leave seeing more than when you arrived.
You’ll have more in common than you think. Not because you share professions, age, or background, but because you each chose to spend a week in Patagonia trying to understand the same things.
A small group, eight to twelve. The kind of people who’d rather do one thing deeply than tick off ten. You arrive as strangers. By the end of the week, you’ll be sitting around the fire with friends.
Forest leads the journey. We handle everything else.
You see a week that simply works. Behind it: a Swiss company that designs high-end journeys most people never find. This is one of them.
It is all arranged. Accommodations, transfers, meals, the experiences. Out here that is not convenience, it’s what lets you be fully present for what you came for.
This is one week of what we do. Come earlier, stay longer, or let us build something entirely your own, here or anywhere else worth going. The trip is fixed. The rest is open.
Our travellers consistently rate us five stars. Read what they say.
We've travelled a lot, but this one felt different.— Maximilian R.
Placeholder: what's included in the Patagonia week, to be replaced with the real inclusions.
Just your flights in, plus Visa & travel insurance.
This trip is for people who want to go deeper, not just visit, and who are good company over the long days that come with that.
We read every application ourselves, and reply to each one personally.
