About Us

Meet Our Founder

My name is Kate Bispham and I'm the founder of Detailed Journeys! I've had a strong passion for travel from an early age, finding that it often teaches lessons we don't gain in a classroom while also building life-long community & connections. That passion led me to an international studies degree and the desire to provide those experiences for others.  

 

Previously I have coordinated group tours to multiple destinations including Colombia, Acadia National Park, New Hampshire, and Iceland. I have also personally traveled to over 39 countries. Some of my favorite adventures have taken place in Turkey, Slovenia, Scotland, Chile, Croatia, Kenya, Colombia, Italy, and France.  

 

When it comes to planning travel, my approach has always been to take care of the details so you can focus on what matters most. Right now I'm a badass one-woman operation, but as Detailed Journeys grows we will continue to center that mindset as we craft unique and exciting adventures for you to enjoy!

Mission

Our mission is to create a better overall travel experience for both aspiring and seasoned travelers through our detailed and value-centric approach to trip organization, onsite community building, and unique, creative, fun-filled itineraries.

Vision

We strive to have a passionate team crafting unique, adventurous trips and building community that will lead to a loyal base of returning, inspired travelers. Create access to travel opportunities through education and funding. For both us and our customers to be always learning and growing from our travel experiences.
