Hi, I’m Adriane, and I created A-Plus Adventures to share my trips help travelers plan out-of-this-world, inspirational vacations.

I’ve traveled to nearly 50 countries across six continents, spending months at a time living out of a backpack, diving remote reefs, hiking hut-to-hut (or tent to tent), riding motorbikes across Vietnam, sailing the Caribbean, and camping in some of the most remote national parks in the world. Along the way, I realized that the best and most memorable trips are often the hardest to plan, mainly because information is limited, and it can be hard to understand how to do it on a budget. Plus, I took a year sabbatical in 2025 to see the world, and a lot of my friends kept asking me to write about it, so here we are :)

What You’ll Find Here

This site is built for travelers who want inspiration, real logistics, budgets tips, and experience-based advice.

On A-Plus Adventures, you’ll find:

  • Detailed itineraries (from weekend trips to multi-week adventures)

  • Budget breakdowns and cost-saving strategies

  • Transportation and planning logistics

  • Outdoor and adventure travel guides, including hiking, scuba diving, cycling, sailing, and skiing

  • National park and remote destination planning, based on firsthand experience

Every guide is written from trips I’ve personally done, so get inspired and make it happen yourself!

A Note on Transparency

A-Plus Adventures is an independent travel blog. Some pages may include affiliate links or advertising, which help support the site at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products, services, and experiences I genuinely use or believe add value to travelers.

Why You Can Trust My Guides

Just ask my friends — no one can plan a more efficient, low-cost trip than I can. And have more fun.

I spent 10+ years working as an engineer, operations consultant, and sustainability advisor. Process efficiency is part of what I do. Plus, I try to limit my impact on the environment when possible.

I have always applied the same structured thinking from work to travel planning, mainly because it’s fun and I can, but also to get the most out of my experience

You can trust me because I’ve already explored the other 10 options on how to do something, and I write about the optimal way for you to have the best time!

My Travel Style

I’m drawn to trips that combine:

  • Nature + culture

  • Really tall and challenging mountains

  • Ambitious off-the-beaten path places

That means you’ll see content on:

  • Backpacking and hut-to-hut trekking

  • Scuba diving in remote locations

  • Long-distance cycling routes

  • Ski trips and mountain travel

  • Budget-conscious travel without sacrificing experience

Whether you’re planning your first big international adventure or refining a complex multi-country itinerary, my goal is to help you do it confidently and responsibly.

Let’s Stay Connected

Welcome — and happy adventuring. 🌍
