No Borders. No Boundaries.
We are a global community for those who embrace uncertainty and value meaningful human connection. Our community is made up of explorers, professionals, and dreamers who seek more than just a vacation. Unsettled is for the adventurous spirits who desire to connect with like-minded individuals and grow both personally and professionally.
We’ve hosted over 3000 alumni from 80+ countries
Our travelers are diverse, ranging from creatives and entrepreneurs to freelancers and full-time professionals, all united by a shared passion for authentic and transformative experiences.
Our trips cater to a wide age range, most in their 30s to 50s, who value a balance of adventures and comfort, and who seek deeper connections with the world and themselves. Whether you’re trekking through remote landscapes, engaging in enriching conversations under the stars, or on the water from the Amazon to Baja, each journey with Unsettled is an opportunity to redefine your boundaries, challenge your perspectives, and connect with a global network of professionals.
Professionally, we are entrepreneurs, creatives, freelancers, artists, solopreneurs, and professionals of all backgrounds who are starting new ventures, seeking new direction, and growing new projects. We bring together the intellectually curious who seek to replace routine with adventure, and refuse to settle in their pursuit of growth, meaning, and purpose.
Personally, our community values diversity, growth, and adventure. We are proud supporters and many of our participants and team members are part of the LGBTQ+ community. We are anti-racist (our co-founder grew up in a bi-racial family and experienced racism regularly growing up). We seek growth and new perspective on work and life. And we love adventures, but know how to make them comfortable.
If you are…
• In transition between careers or contracts and seeking fresh perspective…
• A remote worker seeking to expand your network through meaningful global conversations…
• A freelancer who believes that we can be “independent” and still have community…
• A solopreneur, entrepreneur, or small business owner seeking fresh perspectives, ideas, and opportunities…
• A designer, builder, or developer looking to shake things up or find feedback on your new projects…
• Respect, and even seek out diversity and enjoy building community
Then you’ll fit right in…
In short, as one alumni put it, Unsettled is…
“a community of people who understand me without needing to explain”

It’s like traveling, without leaving your desk. You meet new people, you learn new things, and you walk away feeling completely inspired and energized by new perspectives. As a result of participating, I’ve made friends for life and I’ve finally gotten my book project off the ground!

An amazing way to connect with people from across the globe. This community is all about learning, challenging, contributing, and sharing.

An Unsettled experience is like venturing into the unknown. You have no idea how the experience or people you’ll meet will be… but that unknown proved to be a very rewarding experience. You’ll leave Unsettled richer. Richer in the memories you create and the connections you make. Worth every minute.
