Thoughtfully curated group travel for solo adventurers
Small groups. Real connections. New places.
Explore Upcoming TripsWho We Are
They're about who you go with. The Kindred Route brings together small, carefully chosen groups of solo travelers to explore the world's most compelling destinations together.
Not a tour. Not a singles event. Something more intentional than either — a chance to travel well and find your people at the same time.
You're curious, accomplished, genuinely interested in the world. You want to go somewhere new — really go, not just pass through. We built this for you.
From the Founder
I'm Brandon Warner, the founder of The Kindred Route. Before this, I co-founded Traveler's Joy, the leading honeymoon registry in the US, helping hundreds of thousands of couples turn their dream trips into reality.
Today, I run Journey & Wander, a boutique travel advisory practice where I design high-touch, deeply personal travel experiences for individuals and groups.
The Kindred Route is the natural next chapter — the same philosophy, applied to the travelers I've always wanted to serve most: curious, independent people who want to go somewhere real, with the right company.
Browse our upcoming trips — each one chosen for its depth, not just its beauty. We go to places worth going slowly.
No need to find a travel partner. You book solo. We handle everything else — including building the right group around you.
Arrive as a stranger. Leave as something more. Every trip is designed around connection as much as destination.
"We'll take care of the details. You bring the curiosity. The rest tends to take care of itself."— The Kindred Route
What Sets Us Apart
We run a limited number of trips each year. We'd rather do that than scale for the sake of it. Every detail — the group, the pacing, the places — is considered.
A limited calendar. A high bar. Every destination chosen because it rewards slow, curious travel.
We think about group dynamics. The mix of people matters as much as the itinerary.
No rushed checklists. No buses at landmarks. We travel the way locals wish tourists would.
No single supplement. No awkward pairings. You're the whole point.
