OffScriptTravelCo

Hi, I’m Richelle — a New Zealander, long-time travel industry insider, and someone who hit their forties and decided that “one day” wasn’t a plan anymore. I’ve worked in travel for over 20 years, studied tourism and event management, and somehow managed to visit 25 countries while juggling full-time work, real life, and the constant feeling that there was still more out there to see. Some trips were long, some were chaotic long weekends — all of them taught me that travel doesn’t have to be perfect to be life-changing. Off Script Travel Co exists for people who feel that quiet pull for more. More experiences. More stories. More “why not?” moments. This Patreon is where I share the real side of travel — the planning, the budgeting, the behind-the-scenes chaos, the lessons learned, and the moments that don’t always make it onto Instagram. It’s where I go deeper, slower, and more honestly than I can anywhere else. Here you’ll find: Personal travel stories and reflections Detailed itineraries, budgets, and planning tools Early access to blog posts and ideas in progress Behind-the-scenes content from trips and projects A community of people choosing to live a little more off script If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “There has to be more than this” — you’re in the right place. By supporting this Patreon, you’re not just backing a travel blog. You’re helping fund future adventures, deeper storytelling, and a growing community of people who believe life is better when you don’t follow the script too closely. So grab a seat — armchair or aisle — and let’s see where this goes. ✈️🌍
