Osmia Trips
Three journeys a year
Travel slowly enough to actually be there.
Long journeys for small groups, two to four weeks each, planned end to end by the two people who know the places. Everything is included. Nothing is forced.
The journeys
Three a year. Never the same one twice.
Each journey is built once, for one group, around one season. We travel with you from the first morning to the last dinner.
Trip 1 · Spring 2027
Egypt + Petra, Jordan
The Red Sea, the Nile under sail, thirteen nights living in Dahab, a night climb to the sunrise on Mount Sinai, three days in Petra, and Cairo to finish.
Trip 2 · Autumn 2027
Nepal
Kathmandu, a river run to the jungle, the birthplace of the Buddha, and nine days on foot through the Annapurna region with the mountains all around.
Trip 3 · Winter 2028
Central Philippines
Three islands, chosen over five: the sardine run at Moalboal, inland Bohol and its fireflies from a comfortable base on Panglao, and a volcano in the sea called Camiguin.
Prices are per person in a shared room, without international flights. A room of your own is available on every journey.
Why we travel this way
Not a holiday you come home from. A journey you keep.
Years later it should still be vivid: the people, the landscapes, the meals, the conversations, the sunrise after a night hike, the ocean, the strange beautiful moments that could never be repeated.
That is the bar for every day we plan. An experience that is merely nice does not earn a place. A journey slow enough to live in, and full enough to feel like an adventure - long home bases instead of a new hotel every second night, real local people instead of a coach window, and enough free time that the days are yours.
Yoga, breathwork, meditation and movement are part of the mornings for anyone who wants them. They support the place. They never take it over.
- 01Well planned - but not rigid.
- 02Adventurous - but not exhausting.
- 03Communal - but not suffocating.
- 04Meaningful - without manufacturing transformation.
How a journey is built
Everything is included. Nothing is forced.
- IA strong itinerary
Every transfer, stay, meal and activity is planned before you land. You are paying, in part, so that you never have to research any of it. The sequence is one you could not easily build alone.
- IIParticipation
The planned days are the point, and we expect you to join them. It is a shared adventure. If you need rest, or an activity is not for you, you sit it out - no questions, no cost.
- IIIFreedom
Lighter afternoons, recovery days, optional mornings, time alone. The itinerary is a strong shape with room inside it. It should never feel like a school trip.
- IVCommunity
The same small group for weeks, through boats, long drives, hikes, fires and difficult moments. Nobody runs team-building. The journey does that by itself.
Who takes you
Lisa and Balder
We plan every journey ourselves, and we come along on every one.
Lisa Acerbo and Balder Berg Adelgaard are the two people behind Osmia, the app - a daily practice for living with intention. Osmia Trips is where that practice goes outside: the same people, the same standards, in places we know from the inside.
In Sinai we work with a Bedouin family we trust, who run a camp in the desert near Dahab and know the road to St Catherine. In Nepal and the Philippines we choose licensed local companies for their safety record and for their people, and we walk or paddle beside you rather than sending you off with them.
