Land + See Tours Immersive travel experiences, simplified. Land + See Tours is a group travel company that began with education at it's core. Climb that mountain." Life is short.

It was founded by high school English teacher, Mandy Picchiottino, in an effort to create a global classroom and foster a love of travel and culture in her students the way someone once did for her. When just a high school senior herself, she was afforded the opportunity to travel internationally with her classmates. She says, "It was the beginning of a beautiful love affair I was destined to have with travel. I learned to appreciate the differences across language barriers and cultural divides and came home with a new found gratitude for the comforts of home. I even went on to pursue a career in education as a direct result of that experience. I will never be able to repay my teacher for giving me that opportunity. He didn't know it, but by organizing that trip he changed my entire life!"

From there we have grown into what is now Land + See Tours and expanded our focus outward in hopes of unlocking the inner explorer inside learners of all ages. It is our belief that travel changes you to your very core. Aside from the obvious enjoyment that comes from taking a trip, studies have shown that travel has benefits far beyond the trip itself. It has been found to boost creativity, build confidence, and enhance communication skills. Travel also combats fear and makes you more adaptable and open to new experiences. Many people put their dreams of travel on the back burner assuring themselves that one day they'll get around to it, but the truth is, to travel is to live. Jack Kerouac once said, "Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Don't spend the precious time you have in routine monotony when there is a big, beautiful world just waiting to be explored. Jobs will fill your pocket, but adventures will fill your soul. Do more than just exist. Adventure is waiting. The only question is, what are you waiting for?

Breathtaking is an understatement.

The road trip through the Scottish Highlands is a journey of its own—next stop, the Isle of Skye!

A day exploring the legendary Loch Ness, taking in the views, and wandering the ruins of Urquhart Castle.

We didn’t spot Nessie, but we sure had a blast hunting for her!

There’s something extra charming about Edinburgh in the fall. The crisp air, golden leaves, winding cobblestone streets, and cozy little corners make you want to slow down and take it all in. A pretty magical place to spend an autumn day.

Scotland, here I come!

After months of planning, emails, spreadsheets, reservations, and a few panic-purchased carry-ons later, it’s finally time to head to Scotland.

I am SO excited for this trip, but honestly, I think I’m even more excited to finally see everyone in Edinburgh and experience this one with our group.

Getting there is going to be a journey of its own. My flight time clocks in at 1 day, 7 hours and 5 minutes, with an overnight in Kuala Lumpur and a layover in Istanbul.

There is, of course, a perfectly good reason for this slightly ridiculous routing involving some of the other moving pieces of our pet-import journey. But for now, I’m just going to embrace the adventure, enjoy my capsule hotel in Kuala Lumpur, and remind myself that the journey is part of the fun.

So… wish me luck!

Hopefully the next time you hear from me, I’ll be wandering around Edinburgh with some of my favorite people.

See you in Scotland!

Big news from the fur-baby department: our dog and cat are coming home to Australia on Oct. 21!

Getting them here has been a MUCH bigger process than I ever imagined. Six months of rabies waiting, vet appointments, bloodwork, certifications, paperwork, fees, and planning have gotten us this far. We still have a few final vet and health certificate steps, then they’ll fly to Melbourne for their official 10-day quarantine before making one final flight to Perth.

And because that wasn’t enough, Jericho also managed to squeeze in an emergency ear surgery along the way.

For two animals who are not exactly enthusiastic travelers or cooperative vet patients, I’m pretty impressed we’ve made it this far.

I looked into professional pet transport at the beginning of this process, but quotes were $10,000+ on top of everything else, and since I coordinate international travel for a living, I figured if anyone could tackle this themselves, it was probably me.

So I’ve taken on every form, appointment, booking, deadline, certification and logistical detail. It’s been A LOT, but I’m determined to get these two home.

Thankfully, they’ve been living their best lives while we’ve been apart. Albi has been living the cushy life with Brooke and Mary, while Jericho has been hanging out with his favorite travel-obsessed vets, Blair and Shelby.

I’m eternally grateful to our tribe for taking such great care of them. I know our babies have been loved and in the best hands while we’ve been building our new life here.

But six months, thousands of dollars, endless forms, an emergency surgery, and a whole lot of logistics later...

I’m ready to bring my babies home.

The countdown is officially on :)

We’re getting closer and closer to Scotland, so I'm curious...

If you've never been to Scotland, what's one thing you've always wondered about?

The weather? The food? Driving on the other side of the road? Castles? Wh**ky? The Highlands? What people actually eat?

Ask me anything. If I don't know the answer, I'll find out while I'm there!
