TRAVEL WITH A STORY TO TELL

Where culture, craft, and design meet adventure. We follow stories. We collect meaning. This is the DRIS way.

Featured Journey: Huntress Voyage — Morocco 2026

A design-led, luxury field trip for collectors. Over ten days, we’ll layer medina vintage hunts with restorative rituals and private cultural experiences: a tea ceremony, studio visits, hammam time, a garden dinner under the stars, and two nights in a private Sahara camp.

Group size is limited to 12 for an intimate, thoughtful pace. Your DRIS host manages every detail so you can sink fully into discovery.

LEARN MORE

DRIS Field Trips invites a small group of collectors and design lovers to experience destinations through the lens of craft, colour, and culture.

We don’t just visit—we wander, taste, touch, and collect. We meet makers, hunt for treasures, and connect with places through stories and the people who shape them. Every DRIS journey is a curated love letter layered with design, history, and unforgettable moments.

Think less tourist, more tastemaker.
We sip tea with artisans, explore medina studios, run our hands across centuries-old tiles, and shop markets like locals. These trips become part of the fabric of our lives.

SHYRAUN J.
"Traveling to Morocco with Ariene was my first experience both visiting the country and joining a travel group. I met wonderful, like-minded people, made new friends, and leveraged Ariene's fantastic interior design skills while exploring the markets, all within a well-designed agenda. Don't miss out when the next trip is announced!"

EBONI H.
"My trip to Paris with Ariene was such an incredible experience! The itinerary struck a perfect balance between sightseeing and leisure, letting us explore at our own pace. I loved how everything was planned out during the day; all I had to do was show up and enjoy. The best part? I made some amazing new friends on the trip, and I can't wait to explore another country with them!"

KATIE E.
"I loved that I could just show up and everything was already planned. As a single person, when you work a full time job and do all the chores too, it’s such a treat to just show up and it’s done!! I also loved that the tour centered around art, style & design…and food! I loved that our group gelled and became friends. Likeminded, kind travelers. I loved getting to know and interact with the locals while learning more about their culture. I could go on and on…"

KATIE A.
"I liked the flexibility of arranging my own flights. I did a trip recently where the organizer booked our flights. I couldn’t upgrade to Comfort or Business Class and I probably would have chosen different routes. I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class and the visit with the family where we had traditional tea and snacks. Food always gives great insights into culture. We had a wonderful group because we all know and admire you through a shared an interest/passion/career etc in interior design. It’s like we found our tribe! I enjoyed being in a group with a wide range of ages. It’s interesting observing various reactions and experiences. I learned a lot from everyone. We had great guides who wanted to show off their country and culture. I liked that you arrived earlier than the group and had already scoped out great shopping!"

BEVERLY W.
"I absolutely loved our Paris tour with Ariene! I really appreciated having a dedicated tour guide for the parts of the trip that gave us more insight into local culture and there was ample free time for self-exploration. Paris is always a fun vacation city and seeing it through Ariene’s lens was beautiful.”
