Owner and Tour Guide, Lindsay Palmirotto

Our Story

Owner and founding guide Lindsay Palmirotto has been a tour guide in Asheville since 2017 and has been raising a family in Asheville for over 15 years. She has also been traveling the U.S. and beyond since age 4. She incorporates physical and mental wellness into her everyday life as a necessity for survival--she has 3 kids and a dog, and she refuses to be anything but the leader of the pack in her Asheville, NC home. Lindsay loves talking to people, has never met a stranger, and has more energy and zest for life than most people, saying yes to most opportunities and adventures that present themselves. (For Asheville weirdos/ witches/ hippies: she is a Scorpio AND and an Enneagram 7 with an 8 wing). And that's why she also desperately needs and values her 9 hours of sleep, her time for meditation, stretch, relaxation, and the calm and harmony that comes from being in nature. AND the chance to hardcore let loose! She loves to dance and to try new things. Music of every. single. genre. has had a part in forming her soul, but she has a special place in her heart for hip hop and punk rock (aren’t they the same at their core?!) Her friends fill her up, and the mountains and/or a tropical beach anywhere are her happy places.

Our guides are experienced travelers who are wellness and health-conscious, and we have a knack for trusting our instincts. We explore hard, relax hard, and practice mindful wellness along the way…
