At Made of Rivers Travel Design, you’re invited to remember this. To remember you are both the traveler and the terrain—the water and the one being shaped by it.
You are the journey itself.
You are made of
You are not meant to stay still. You are meant to move, to flow, to evolve.
rivers
, too.
This is a sacred collaboration between your desires and the world’s wild offerings. Here, your travels are crafted with the same reverence and wonder that the earth gives to its rivers—free-flowing yet intentional, awe-inspiring yet deeply personal.
You may come here seeking an escape, but what you’ll find is a return: to self, to stillness, to the essential rhythm that lives beneath the surface of your everyday life.
Your travel designer listens deeply—to your story, your needs, your longings—and from there, a journey is born. One that reflects not just where you want to go, but who you are and who you’re becoming.
You deserve travel as layered and luminous as you are. Whether you’re hosting a workshop halfway across the world or seeking a soul-stirring private escape, your itinerary becomes a mirror—designed for you, because it is you.
This work is inspired by the rivers that have carved canyons and sustained civilizations. By the belief that movement is sacred. That adventure is healing. That every journey can be a homecoming.

Retreat & Workshop Destination Sourcing
Some places don’t just host your gathering—they transform it.
Our services include:
Our clients are discerning and attuned to the power of place. They don’t travel to escape—they travel to connect: to the world, to others, and to themselves. They trust in the creative process, value true collaboration, and understand that the most meaningful trips begin with presence and purpose.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You simply need to know you’re ready for something more—more beauty, more soul, more intention woven into every detail.
We partner with:
• Couples crafting one-of-a-kind honeymoons that mirror their love story
• Families investing in meaningful transformative travel across generations
• Solo travelers ready for rest and to rediscover themselves
• Groups gathering for retreats, creative workshops, or purpose-driven gatherings
We design for those who believe that travel is sacred. That the right trip can shift something inside of you. And that when done with care, the journey doesn’t just take you somewhere new—it brings you home to yourself.
And above all, we work with travelers who care—not only about how they experience the world, but how they impact it.
At Made of Rivers, we believe the privilege of travel comes with deep responsibility. We prioritize conservation-minded partners, properties, and experiences that honor the ecosystems and communities they touch. We advocate for ethical wildlife tourism—ensuring every encounter protects the vulnerable, preserves natural behaviors, and upholds the dignity of the animals true travelers so deeply wish to witness.
We are equally committed to sustainability—favoring experiences that tread lightly, support local economies, and protect the cultural and environmental integrity of each destination. Our goal is not just to see the world—but to help preserve it. To leave every place more cared for, more honored, more alive than when we arrived.
Because the Earth is not a backdrop for our adventures.
She is the source of them all.
Who We Work With
We work with those who feel the call—not just to travel, but to journey. They seek meaning, arriving to us with open hearts and deep curiosity.
Travel is one of the most rewarding gifts we give ourselves.
The journey begins with trust—and an energetic exchange.
Your custom itinerary is handcrafted with deep care, intention, and time. We begin with a design fee reflecting the scope, complexity, and level of support your journey calls for.
This investment grants you access to our full-service design process: immersive collaboration, curated global partnerships, and unwavering support—from your first spark of inspiration to your return home, forever changed.
You’ll be guided not only by your dedicated travel advisor (who we also like to call your travel advocate)—but also by an extended circle of trusted partners on the ground - hand-selected to ensure every detail unfolds with ease, precision, and presence at every step.
Because what you’re truly investing in isn’t just logistics. It’s knowing your journey is handled with care—by every hand, in every detail, with reverence and precision.
The only goal in all of this?
To delight in being fully present—to savor the thousands of new experiences unfolding at your will.
Details regarding design fees, planning scope, and trip minimums are shared during your consultation call.
