Private travel design for seasoned travelers and small groups traveling together — built on relationships with local guides, independent properties, and communities, so every trip genuinely connects you to the places you visit.
Extraordinary Travel, Meaningfully Connected
Travel Global, Live Local
Ways to Travel With Me
For the friends, family, or community who already love traveling together. I plan the whole trip — logistics, accommodations, real cultural experiences — so no one has to play tour manager. You just enjoy it.
Custom or group, the promise is the same: an extraordinary trip, meaningfully connected.
However you like to travel, every trip starts from the same place: real connection, and total peace of mind for you.
Bespoke journeys built entirely around you: private guides, independently owned luxury stays, and access most travelers can't get on their own. Perfect for honeymoons, milestone trips, and the journey you've been promising yourself. I handle every detail, so all you have to do is show up.
Custom Luxury Itineraries
Private Group Trips
I'm Heather Lane Chauny — founder of Heather Lane Adventures, and someone who's spent a lifetime turning 'somewhere on my list' into 'somewhere I've been.'
With firsthand experience in nearly 50 countries, two international relocations, and 20+ years in international development before this, I bring a traveler's curiosity and a professional's attention to detail to every itinerary I design. Travel Global, Live Local isn't just what I say — it's how I've lived.

My Approach
This is the difference between a trip that just happens to a place, and one that actually belongs to it.
The Way I Travel — And Why It Matters
"Travel Global, Live Local" isn't just a tagline — it's how every itinerary gets built.
Pillar 3 — Investment in Local Economies
Your travel dollars stay in the communities you visit, not a corporate office overseas.
Partners who actively protect the ecosystems we visit.
Pillar 2 — Respect for Nature
Real encounters with local people and traditions, not staged performances.
