Heya! My name’s Quinn 🙌

I’m 23 and based in Hawai’i. Some of my favorite things in life are yoga, photography, and diving. I love being surrounded by nature, whether that’s hiking through the jungle, sailing across the ocean, or watching the sunrise from a new corner of the world.

For the past few years, I’ve been traveling and sailing full-time, living everywhere from off-grid farms to sailboats to backpacker hostels — and I’ve found so much joy in connecting with people who share that same love for adventure and meaningful travel. The memories and lessons I’ve gathered along the way have shaped me into who I am today.

I’m so stoked to be hosting two upcoming adventures — exploring the islands of Lombok and Bali (Feb 25 – Mar 8 2026) and then diving deep into the jungles and coastlines of Sumatra (Mar 8 – 17 2026). These trips are all about community, connection, and going off the beaten path — and I can’t wait to share these incredible experiences with you.🌏💫

The island breeze greets you the moment you land in Lombok (LOP)! Get settled into your accommodation, then enjoy a refreshing swim or explore the picturesque streets of Kuta Lombok. As the day winds down, join the AuthenticFam for a dinner filled with new faces, delicious food, and cocktails under the stars.

Today, immerse yourself in the heart of Sasak Village, where we’ll explore traditional customs and learn the art of local crafts. Afterward, we’ll journey to the majestic Benang Stokel Waterfall and Benang Kelambu Waterfall, where the cascading waters will leave you in awe. Relax after the adventure with a cold drink and a great dinner at the hotel.

Time for some morning relaxation with a yoga session, followed by surfing lessons at one of Lombok’s best beaches. Whether you’re catching your first wave or improving your skills, it’s all about fun in the sun today. In the evening, enjoy a traditional BBQ dinner with a local  twist—complete with cold drinks, great vibes, and a beautiful sunset!

It’s time to hop on a boat and head to Gili Trawangan—a car-free island paradise. Cycle around the island, soak up the island vibes, and unwind by the beach. As the sun dips below the horizon, we’ll gather for an island-themed dinner, complete with music and laughter. Ready to keep the fun going? Get your karaoke voice on, it’s going to be a night to remember!

Today, we’re hopping to Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan for a private island tour. Snorkel with turtles, explore underwater statues, and chill in the crystal-clear waters. After a delicious lunch on Gili Meno, we’ll chase the sunset and sip cocktails at the best beach bars around. Pure paradise!

The day begins with a laid-back morning, followed by a sunset cycling tour around Gili Trawangan. Explore hidden gems, beautiful beaches, and stunning views before we end with a short trek to the island’s best lookout point. Tonight, we’ll share one last dinner on this unforgettable island.

Today is a travel and chill day. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic journey to Ubud. Once you arrive, settle into your hotel, unwind, and take it easy—you’ve got the rest of the day to relax or explore at your own pace.

Prepare your senses for a Balinese cooking class where you’ll learn the art of creating traditional dishes. In the afternoon, we’ll take on an exciting white water rafting adventure down Bali’s river. We’ll end the day with a celebration dinner to reminisce on the incredible experiences we’ve had together

Today, we’ll visit Taman Beji Griya, a sacred sanctuary surrounded by lush nature, for a powerful purification ceremony led by a local priest. This traditional water blessing offers a chance to release emotional tension, clear your mind, and reconnect with the spirit of Bali. After the ceremony, the rest of the day is yours to explore Ubud—whether that means strolling through markets, visiting art shops, or simply relaxing by the pool.

Off to Canggu, but first—a scenic stop at one of Bali’s iconic rice terraces. Take in the lush green views, stretch your legs, and soak up the tranquil beauty before diving into the island’s vibrant side. Then, get ready to experience Canggu’s buzzing scene—famous for its surf spots, beach bars, and trendy restaurants. Spend the next few days embracing Bali’s lively energy and exploring some of the coolest spots around.

Today, we’ll start by visiting Taman Ayun Temple, a royal sanctuary surrounded by lush gardens. Afterward, we’ll enjoy a casual lunch at a local restaurant in the Tanah Lot area before heading to Tanah Lot Temple itself, perched on a rock overlooking the sea. Then, it’s back to Canggu to unwind and enjoy the evening at your leisure.

It’s time to say goodbye to Bali, but not to your AuthenticFam. This isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning of many more adventures together. Your travel leader will help you with your return journey or offer tips on extending your stay. We’ll see you on the next one!
