About Me

Life is an adventure -- and you should meet that adventure head on!    Trips that focus on wildlife are some of my very favorite trips to curate.   These are truly personalized trips that aim to put the client in the natural climate of wildlife, while keeping them safe.  

 

What is a wildlife adventure, you may ask.    Our world is full of wildlife:   bears, lions, whales, sloths, cheetahs, tigers, giraffes, gorillas, wildebeest, etc.  The list could go on for pages and pages!   Most of these animals live in areas of our world that we don't come into contact with, and we have only seen them on tv, in videos or on National Geographic shows.  

However, it is possible to see them in person!    No matter what animal you want to see, I can get you there!


Bears:   Alaska, Slovenia, the Blue Ridge Mountains, Canada.

Whales:  Scotland, Alaska, Hawaii

Lions, Giraffe, Rhinos:   Africa, of course, but each opportunity is unique and special, whether it be Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana.    I tailor your trip to meet your goals.

Gorillas:   Rwanda and Botswana.

Sloth:  Costa Rica

Monkeys:  Costa Rica and Belize

Cheetahs:  National Geographic's Big Cat Preserve is amazing!


What animal is your spirit animal?  Which do you want to see first?  

Lets get your next adventure started!

First time abroad made easy!
Reviewed By Mia - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Paula made our first time traveling abroad as easy and stress free as could be! She gave such good advice about what to expect, what experiences to look into and where to find info about them, and even foods to try in the different places we went. I know that without her expert advice, that our trip would not have been as amazing and memorable as it was! Already looking forward to having her help on our next trip!

My trip to Greece with my wife.
Reviewed By Cpfitz - Oregon | Traveled to Greece | Europe
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paula Barns and the unforgettable trip she planned for me to Greece! From start to finish, Paula went above and beyond to make this journey seamless, personalized, and truly magical. Every detail was handled with care, from the breathtaking hotels with ocean views to the private tours of ancient ruins, charming local restaurants, and even hidden gems I would have never discovered on my own. What impressed me most was Paula’s deep knowledge of Greece and her genuine passion for creating extraordinary travel experiences. She listened to what I wanted culture, relaxation, a little adventure and somehow brought it all together into a perfectly balanced itinerary that still felt spontaneous and relaxed. Her thoughtful touches, like a welcome basket of Greek treats waiting at my hotel and a handwritten note with local tips, made me feel incredibly cared for. It felt less like working with a travel guide and more like having a close friend with ins
