Who Am I?

A person standing on a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean and distant mountains under cloudy sky.

I’m Patricia. My life is unconventional — and that’s exactly what makes it invaluable for your next adventure. Over the past few years, I’ve turned curiosity into expertise: living on islands, surfing at sunrise, exploring cities off the beaten path, and traveling solo across Morocco, the Philippines, China, Kyrgyzstan, and beyond. Every journey has sharpened my eye for hidden gems, local experiences, and seamless planning.

Why does this matter for you? Because I’ve turned my experiences — the trials, the discoveries, the insider knowledge — into Beyond Trails & Tales, a way to give travelers like you carefully curated adventures without the stress, the research, or the guesswork.

I know how to plan trips that feel effortless: finding the best flights, uncovering secret spots only locals know, and crafting days that are unforgettable — not overcrowded, not overhyped. Your time is precious, and your trip should feel like it’s been designed just for you.

(Don’t see your destination? No problem — I’ll craft an adventure wherever your path leads.)
