Meet Your Guide

Rise & Roam founder and adventure guide Tanin Kayvan spent years traveling to places where few would venture. She stayed with over 100 families in cultures around the world, which led to experiences like migrating with nomadic families, attending lesser-known cultural events, and surreal wildlife encounters. With a background in anthropology, photojournalism, and tourism, she has combined her years of experience to curate bucket list adventures for travelers who are looking to dive deeper into the places they visit.

What’s Next

Our Values

  • Community

    We prioritize fair wages, and work closely with locals. We also prioritize dividing our business among the community to give people access to equal opportunities. This ensures the dollars spent on our journeys actually stay in the local economy of the places we visit.

  • Sustainability

    Sustainable travel acknowledges the impact of our journeys. We do our best to consider the planet and people along the way, and choose activities that are most appropriate for the locations we visit to keep nature in tact.

  • Land Protection

    At Rise & Roam we do not put up the names of specific places we visit like beaches, villages, or parks. We may mention the region, but many of the places we visit are pristine and best kept protected. With social media, destinations can quickly go viral and receive an influx of visitors. This can negatively impact land, wildlife, and communities.

  • Limited Reoccurring Visits

    We limit the number of times we visit a community annually. This is so communities focus on other streams of income and don’t become too reliant on our visits. This helps ensure local communities do not suffer in the case of a pandemic, or other event where the tourism industry shrinks.

What Our Explorers Say

  • My trip to Choco with Rise & Roam was an unforgettable adventure. From the warmth and kindness of the local people to the extraordinary natural beauty, I feel so grateful to have experienced this part of the world. My fellow travelers have become lifelong friends and I look forward to traveling with Tanin again in the future.

    Shelby W:

  • This trip was amazing! I loved getting to really experience the local culture of Colombia and would absolutely recommend it!

    Charlotte H:

  • This was my first experience traveling outside of America. Best decision I could have made! Tanin helped me through all the obstacles and questions I had along with calming my nerves and truly made this an experience of a lifetime. From exploring the city all the way to very remote destinations that don't exist on the map! I met amazing people along the way who will forever be my friends. If you're debating on if you should go or not.. just know you won't regret it if you go!
