Beyond the Guidebook

Tired of cookie-cutter itineraries and tourist traps? Generic travel planning misses what makes a destination truly special: the hidden trails that locals hike, the family-run restaurants with little to no online presence, the cultural protocols that turn visitors into welcomed guests. 

We've spent years exploring every corner of the Pacific Northwest, building relationships with communities, and developing a systematic approach to uncovering authentic experiences. Our DISCOVER Framework transforms overwhelming research into intentional adventures that respect local cultures while creating transformational memories.

Whether you're seeking a weekend escape to the Oregon Coast or a multi-week expedition through the Cascades, we handle the complexity so you can focus on the experience.

What Clients Say

The House of Wanderlust didn't just plan our Oregon Coast trip, they transformed how we think about travel. The hidden beach coves, the local oyster farm tour, the tide pool exploration guided by a marine biologist they connected us with...every moment felt intentional and authentic. This was travel at a completely different level.
- Sarah & Mike Q., Seattle, WA
As someone who usually over-researches and still misses the best spots, having The House of Wanderlust's systematic approach was game-changing. The DISCOVER Framework meant we experienced the Cascade Mountains like locals, not tourists. Worth every penny.
- Jennifer L., Portland, OR
We hired The House of Wanderlust for our company retreat planning, and they delivered beyond expectations. Their cultural sensitivity protocols, accessibility planning, and attention to team dynamics created an experience that brought our remote team closer together while showcasing Oregon's incredible landscapes.
