Stories from the community
Real people, sharing how they show up, help, and grow.
“I started by just running in new places and sharing it.”
Through this community, my runs turned into something more meaningful. I met locals, learned the stories behind the routes, and eventually started hosting trips to other cities and organising local running sessions in different states. What began as solo runs slowly became shared experiences, connecting movement, place, and people, not just views.

“I’ve always helped travelers, this just gave it meaning.”
I know my city well, the good parts and the things people should be careful about. Through the community, I can guide travelers honestly, help them feel safe, and earn without feeling like I’m selling my culture.

“Hosting through Planout feels like sharing a part of my life.”
II host people from the community for solo sessions or small groups, from a single day to a few weeks of learning and training together. What I love is the kind of people who come, curious, respectful, and open. With the support around logistics, I can focus on teaching, connection, and spending time with friends from the travel community. I host here, and I also explore, joining walking tours or even a simple tuk-tuk ride, learning from others as much as I teach.
