DRIS
FIELD TRIPS

Cultural travel through the lens of design, color, and story.

DRIS Field Trips are not open for booking.

With so much happening globally, I’ve chosen to pause and reschedule future travel experiences until the timing feels more aligned. DRIS Field Trips are rooted in joy, curiosity, beauty, and meaningful connection—and I want these journeys to be entered into with confidence and ease.

Future destinations and dates will be shared when the time is right.

To stay informed about upcoming travel experiences, join the mailing list or check back here for updates.

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